Hi

Just to let you know there are quite a lot of us going AF in November see the FIREWORKS thread. You are very :welcome: to join us

Have a fantastic birthday and we will all be there for you. As you say it will be the best present you can give yourself. I think christmas looming up is giving us all that extra push to do it.

Hi Cuckoo,

My birthday is in November too, actually on Thanksgiving Day this year.

I will join you. I am on Day 3 and feeling really great. To go AF another 22 days would be the absolute best birthday present I could possibly give to myself.

My Plan-
1. No wicked wine box in the house.
2. Have a plan during my witching hours of 5-7. Usually that means to know what I am making for dinner and have it on the table by 6:00.
3. Have a craft project to work on, or good book to read after dinner.
4, Exercise, take Vits. & Supplements, listen to CD's and visit MWO often!
5. Continually remind myself of how wonderful it feels to be AF!

I am more comitted than every, Cuckoo!

I have been having trouble, but today I feel stronger and more determined. I have been flirting with the idea of taking Antabuse to help with my problem. I want this so badly, I really do. I read the posts everyday, several times a day in fact. I want, I want, I want and want and now it's time for me to achieve.

So, AF for November ODAT. I wish you and everyone success!

A very hopeful member,

Theresa

TC: I love your suggestions. Ditto for me to your plan. Also:
-when I feel tempted, remind myself that I never, ever stop at one or two.
-remember the bad drinking times when I feel tempted.
-rest, as needed.
-stay in the moment.
-continue to guard my sobriety ODAT.
-come to MWO as often as possible.

Mary,

Thanks for your input on how you mentally fight off the beast. I will add the mental armor to my physical armor in my arsenal. I am at war with this ugly beast. I cannot and must not let him win because I am so much better than him!

To all, thank you so much for your support, responses, suggestions. I too want this very badly. I am tired of living my life in a booze induced fog. TC and Mary, thank you for your suggestions to help overcome this. One that I tried when I first tried to go AF was to get in my pajamas as early as possible to prevent me from running out and just picking up a bottle. Sweetpea, thanks for your info about the other thread. I hope to be reading many threads through November. One scary thing for me is that I won't be near a computer for the first couple of days. I hope there is one where I will be but if I don't post for the next few days it is because I don't have computer access. I have the book, cds, supplements, and topamax and I am ready to do this. There is such support and inspiration on this site. DB2, you are one of my inspirations from October. I agree, let's do this. TC, happy November birthday. Youngster, I haven't been doing well lately either, but tomorrow is another day to do better. Rustop61, I agree let's roll on in November. MG, I'm very hopeful too. I just know that each of us are stronger than this thing and WW, I want to believe it will be AF for all of us in November. Again thanks for the encouragement and support. AF November, rock on.
