Newbies in Need - ODAT Tuesday

Hi all. Had an appointment tonight, was driving home, hit a curb and blew a tire. The only good part of it was that I stopped right in front or a tire and brake place. Took a cab home. Usually that would be enough to have the cab drop me off at McCarthy Brothers for a bottle. Came home and popped open a Beck's AF beer. (Really beginning to like it Rustop, thanks!)

Laura, you are so right, continuing to make positive change in our lives is so important. I used to beat myself up for not being af. Did 7 days, slipped, 5 continued on and off. Continued to beat myself up. Then I realized I had gone a total of 30 days AF in two months. Pretty damned good, I realized.

Bessie, glad you had a good birthday. Did you go hunting?

Rude...used to love playing yahtzee. Haven't heard that word in a long time.

Twit, glad the craving passed. 20days....awesome! Would love 20 days in a row.

Diamond, please don't feel like an outsider. I had never post before here, really hard for me at first. Can also relate to feeling like an alien in my own skin. Just keep reading and posting.

Twit,
Hang in there. I feel the same as you at day 15AF. But don't you feel better than before? I do feel like crap too though. I ended up getting a nasty cold last week (the first in years) I think the alcohol was killing everything inside me---unfortunately that included me. I think for some of us, it takes more time. My body is going into shock having healthy food and drink in it, it doesn't know what to do.

Hi All,

I have just found MWO whilst looking for inspiration for being able to stay sober. I had my last big binge on 6 dec 07. it was a real eye opener! i cant beleive i was in such a state. I could of easily lost my partner and my children that night ( not that i remember much). since dec i went to the drs and started on Campril. I managed no alcohol on my 40th birthday party, xmas and new years eve. I have managed to just slipped three times where i just had one wine or a beer. but i have'nt wanted to continue. I feel sick to the stomach every time i think how bad i had become. So i look forward in continuing my sobriety (althought is it still so scarry) and learning from more people who are going thru the same fuzzy time.

Just checking in folks, sorry no time to read all, but saw a few positive posts, welcome new people (newer than me anyway) this is a great thread to join!!!

Major crisis at work yesterday, bad enough to be the lead story on the news yesterday and today, I'm caught up in managing that after hours at home.

I'm proud I'm not drowned in the drink as a reaction to the crisis, THAT feels good!

Will try and catch up on my reading when this passes, but will post every day as I believe it is an important component to success.

Still loving the effects of the supplements, but listening to the CD's didn't happen yesterday or today. Hope that doesn't hinder my progress!
