ODAT - Thursday

[Suki411]

I need this thread today. After 22 days, I've let Al hang around me. Not like our relationship earlier this year. BUT.....I want him gone. I want to get back on track. I need to start taking the supps, listening to the cds, getting some exercise. If only it would stop raining and snowing. I could walk to work.

I'm energized by how upbeat everyone sounds. I hope it rubs off on me.

Hope all have a successful day, whatever your goals are.

Suki,

I woke up this morning more determined than ever to be able to say I went through today sober. I want to see some 0s pile up in my drink tracker!!

So, for today, just for today, I am going to be sober.

Take care and love to all my ODAT friends.

Thursday!

One day closer to FRIDAY!! Go Suki, Cindi you can do it!! Determination is the key, then sticking w/ it.............hard at times, but try to stay in the moment.............it helps me.......
GOOD LUCK!!

Tlrgs and Maasai glad to see you this morning too...............have a wonderful day, whatever your goals....................

Went to the doc yesterday, only a sinus infection, but the drip and cough (in spite of starting "tussin-pearls"), which are cough suppressants, the cough is still there, hopefully the antibiotic will help too.................I don't feel any better yet, but it has only been since last evening that I have taken the meds..................hopefully can "kick it out of my system" by vacation time in 3 weeks, and counting!!

To everyone yet to come, have a great day too!!

love,:h:l

Happy Thursday

I'm very proud that I haven't had a drink since 2/19, but I wish the days added up more quickly, I'm sure many of you can relate. I guess that is the point of the DAT threads.

I thought about having *a* glass of wine the other night, but knew right off that it would not be *a* glass.

The near constant headache is gone, but my body is still acting differently - oh how I abused it.

New found skills - doing complex things past 8 pm! I wouldn't do any crafting/sewing because it was either dangerous to operate machinery (including an iron or sewing shears) or I'd eff up because my brain was on hiatus.

Also, shamefully, not being resentful of children's activities that went into the evening because it cut into drink time.

hi

Welcome Disapprovingcat! The days will seem to go slow right now, I am just around your AF time, I have 18 days today.....................I feel the same way sometimes, esp now while physically ill, fighting a cough/cold.............it really sucks at times, but it would DEFINITELY be worse if I was drinking................

Glad you are here...........YOU WILL MAKE IT!!

love,:h:l

Good morning all,
I woke up today seeing the sun and the sun in my life. I am truly blessed. I let go of torturing myself over my slip. I have to remember how far I've come since joining. I was on a roll trying to get to 30 days but alas, it got interrupted. So day 2 AF. I'm on my way. I feel so lucky to have developed a relationship with such wonderful people. I look forward to this thread every morning to see how we're all doing.
Love to all

But I do know, today I will not drink!!

Love,

Good morning all!
After 3 days AF I slipped back last night. I will try again today for AF. I realy admire all those that have 30 days AF!! I hope that I can be one of them someday. It's so hard to get it together. For me, I must change routine at that terrible hour of 5 p.m. I think today I will go for a long walk during that time and breath in some fresh air. Thank you all for your support. I will keep reading and posting because I know this site will help me.:new:

I too am feeling like I need a refresher! A new start. That feeling I had when I was so excited to recievce my supplements that I kissed the postman when he delivered them. My passion is slacking and AL is lurking waiting for an oppurtunity. Sneaky little bastard.

Hope everyone has a passionate day with much energy towards keeping AL at bay!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their support.

Fifth day sober, starting to think clearer, self-esteem is a bit better.

Had night sweats last night, just wondering if it's normal to sweat on the 4th night of not drinking? Haven't sweated before this.
