I'm Makin It!!!

Hi All,
Just felt like sharing my accomplishments with you all. I have been AF now for 20 days and am not wanting to drink now at all! I evan went out to the bar last weekend to play pool and didn't drink, nor did I want to! Another test for me was one of my brother's came to visit who drinks alot and I still did not cave and have a drink. I have to admit that I almost did, but talked myself out of it. So now I am thinking this means that I have what it takes to stay AF for good now! Anyway, I just felt like sharing with you all and hope that this is encouraging to others who are struggling. Thank you all for your support!!!

that is so cool. I am on day 9 and although I have this little voice in my head saying it'd be nice to have a little (!) glass of wine I know that I will feel so sh.. t after it that it puts me off. I feel so good in the mornings, I feel awake and clear headed, I can actually go to bed and read and I sleep sooooooooo well. You are doing great, I hope I will be in the same position as you on day 20. Keep up the good work!

Hi All,
Again, thank you all for the encouragement. A couple of you mentioned my stradegy, well I am actually afraid if I have just one drink that I will start right back up again and be drinkin everyday. So every time I think I want a drink, I just remind myself of how far I have made it and I just can't live with that. Another thing that helps me is that I started drinking this natural soda that reminds me of the taste of wine and I drink them alot. It also helps me to share with you all. I do plan on being AF for good now. You see, I know some people can handle having a drink now and then and be ok. But I know I am not one of those people, so it is best that I stay away from it all together. I do want to ask that you all will be thinking of me for the next few days though. I will be tested once again. My dad just passed away tonight and I am used to drinking when I get bad news. So far I am doing ok, but please keep me in your thoughts!!! Thanks again!!

Oh, Jellybean, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please remember to take good care of yoruself today and the days to come. You have come so far and sound so good. Staying sober will allow you to work through any feelings as they come up - truthfully, and you will be so thankful of that as time goes by. The best gift you can give yoursefl and those around you is to stay sober. Stay real close and let us know how you are doing, OK?
