Hello everyone and congratulations:goodjob: 3 more days!
Unfortunately I had a few drinks this weekend; was invited to a dinner and it was down hill from there. I managed to do 3 days last week and plan to do the next 3 days. This morning I've been feeling like a looser:upset: but realized that some AF days is better than no days so I'm going back to my supplements and meditation and take it from there. TODAY I WILL NOT DRINK:no:

Still here.... hanging on by my fingertips frankly today but still here and will be here until the end of the month!! Up at 3am today - thought that starting the ODAT thread then would be cheating though! Not sleeping well - that never happens to me normally. Got sooooo much to do and getting a bit stressed about a business deadline - but I did manage to get loads done so I'm feeling a bit better about it. I should sleep well tonight! I hope so cos i feel like a bag of nails.

Definitely building up to the show's finale!

Love to all

Get Ready to take a bow

Hello all - It's Tuesday night (In the States - already Wed. to the East) and we are almost there! Yee Hawwwww! Bessie - love the new Avatar. So cute! I just want to tell all who have been on this thread how amazing you all are and how your courage has challenged me. This has really made this journey real for me. I mean "really really" (A quote from Shrek). You have all planted seeds of hope in my heart and I cannot thank you enough. Through struggles and victories it has become clear to me that honesty, sharing and support are critical elements to this Journey. I finally told my husband why I quit drinking, and we had a painful but much needed talk. I don't know why I thought I was still hiding my volume of consumption. The lies we tell ourselves ... wow. :blush: I am finally excited about the journey ahead. I know thats naive on my part - but I've been so filled with FEAR all month. A peace and a determination is finally knocking on my :heart: . I start the whole program in a couple of weeks (waiting for meds, haven't started exercising, but have been taking supps.) and am finally hopeful that THIS IS IT. So - lets all start our Jan. 30 by giving Al a :boxer: Love ya'll :wave:

So near and yet so far....... didn't manage to keep Al at bay last night...... damn and blast and buggeration!! Too whacked out to put up a fight with the gin bottle - and so close to the end of the month too :boohoo: This has been more of a struggle than I thought.

But I'm going to carry on to the end of the month with the rest of you (albeit at the back of the parade now..... :sigh: and then go back to ODAT only.

Universal - you're carrying the banner on your own now, at the front, flanked by all the others who are leading the way to the end of the month! And I very nearly ordered some AF wine from a site that I found with loads of nice sounding wines on. If I had done that I might have got through last night ........ We live and learn. :bang: Onwards and upwards...

Hi All. I haven't posted much but I'm still here and still AF..to the endo of the month and beyond! AF feels way too good to give up now.

Stay strong everyone. AL can only beat us with the power we give him.

Bessie, don't you dare beat yourself up. You motivated me and I did not stay AF but have had more AF days than I've had in the past because of the support and love on this thread. Someone said in an earlier thread, don't start counting over at 1 when you hit a bump in the road just keep persevering. I may have not made all 11 days AF but I'm going to finish them that way!

[universal]

AF to the end of the month show ....!

Bessie, It's okay girl! We all have our struggles and you have had a great month! No need to beat yourself up, just jump back up on that horse!!!!!

To the rest of you, hope you are all still doing well - today is DAY 10 - only today and tomorrow left guys and then we are at FEB 1st and WE DID IT!!!!

Small goals but they can really help in our minds..........

Hope everyone is doing well - grab my hand and lets keep this train going.

Love you all,
Uni

There is no failing here little one

Hello all - First Bessie - as long as you keep coming here and giving it your best shot - YOU HAVE NOT FAILED. We all slip - but until you give up and stop trying you are still riding up front!!!! STOP and CONGRATULATE yourself. You are our leader! Perfection has to be put off, and desire to keep moving forward is the plan!!! There is so much we learn about ourselves when we realize we don't have to be perfect. The obstacle ahead is never as great as the power behind you. Kick that pony in the flank and get back up in the lead. Cuz you are a leaderin so many ways ... in support, loving, caring and showing us all that this isn't about winning a month. It's about each and every day waking up with one goal in mind for the day we are living in. If we happen to be given the next day to live and breath - we can hope to do it again, but we stay in the reality of today - cuz tomorrow is not ours to have! Yesterday isn't ours anymore - so today is all we get!! Ya Hoo - it takes the pressure off. Just do it today. You can decide when tomorrow gets here what you want to do with it. Yesterday doesn't matter anymore so let it go! Our goals are like money - we always want more than we earn, but we never stop trying to earn it. Don't confuse that with the reality of embracing what we have and enjoying it today. If you have a drink ... or two or what ever you decide -- enjoy it! every sip. You'll probably stop sooner cuz you are staying in the reality that you are going to drink it and enjoy it. I'm getting to deep ... so will get on with my day. Gotta work late tonight but will check in with ya'll late. Today - is a good day. Hug it. Hugs to everyone

OK - it's the last day! Just get through today and it will be the end of the month. I've not managed it - but have done most of it which is still an achievement. Hope you've all done better than me. Universal - I am polishing the trophy :award: for you to collect tomorrow!! Anyone else lining up for one too??

.... and thanks to LF, Uni and Kat20 for your encouragement. I'm not really beating myself up - it's the sense of disappointment with myself that is hardest. Still, onwards and upwards... I am here, I am focussing on AF and I am managing more days than I ever have done before.

This is the end of the beginning!

Ok mighty riders - this is the push across the finish line! Doesn't matter if your 30 days AF, 11 days AF 1 day AF or 2 hours AF !!!!! Lets ride it out, hang on tight and see the end of the show!! I myself have a BAD headache and just want to wake up with out it tomorrow morning.

I just received my Topa in the mail today and all of a sudden am filled with fear of it!! I want to start taking it but I've been reading of the possible side effects and I'm a chicken. Are you all on it? Share please!! I'm 31 days AF - but I know part of the Motivation has been ... the topa is coming the topa is coming! So I do want to try it. I am already a scatter brain - so either I'll be a complete veggie or no one will notice! What levels of the program are ya'll using?

I'm going home to pour me a big wine glass of V8 Fusion (peach mango) with some straight up grape juice. This has been my drink of choice this month - because I miss my wine time!! (Whine Whine Whine) :nutso: :wahh:

Grammys to all the road show cast
:award:

Love ya'll
