Day 3 AF!!

[notevergivingup]

Today is day 3, it's been a nice two days without needing to hold a beer or glass of wine in my hand. I read in another thread about cravings vs urges. I tell you something I think Thankful is absolutley right, we really need to change how we think, after we get passed the first few days of cravings, it really is mostly urges. I remember how hard it was to quit smoking, everyone saying after a few days, the craving passes, but the urges didn't. It took months before they passed and even still I would once in awhile get the urge to have a cig, that lasted for almost a year, now I can't believe I ever smoked. So I want to say Thank you Thankful for a great post, really got my thinking and realizing we can beat this.

Day 3 AF!!

Happy Tuesday, Two Sox! You are so right about the mind games we must play to stay sober... but hey, if they work, that's all that matters!

I hope your are looking forward to the strange dreams.... last night I was at a work meeting in my silky nighty, and I was trying to give a presentation, but everyone kept staring at my boobs, and finally my boss commented on how nice "they" look when they aren't restrained.
DREAM! DREAM! DREAM! :H I woke up thinking that I gotta get a new bra

P.S. One of the "after" things about me is.... nightgowns~ I have a bunch, but 6 months ago, they stayed in the drawer and my pjs consisted of baggy t-shirts and sweatpants.... little thing, but, today, it makes me feel better when I'm going to bed sober and sexy, and not drunk and sloppy ...

Day 3 AF!!

Happy Tuesday to you too Happy Life. My dream was terrible last night, I drempt that my husband and his very good friend were trying to kill me and I kept hitting his friend in the head with a baseball bat and then I remember feeling horrible because I didn't want to hurt him but had no choice. I cetainly hope my dreams are a little better tonight. I have to admit I love my boxer shorts and oversized shirts when I go to bed, they are soooo comfy!

Day 3 AF!!

WELL DONE TWOSOX!!! I'm impressed with your progress. With regards to Thankfuls thread the other day, it made me check what makes my al mind tick. So on day 1 af(yesterday!!!) I decided to do something therapeutic to ponder on this. I painted my verrry long garden fence and realised that it was a very stubborn nagging voice inside that wouldn't let up, you know like a child that won't take no for an answer. But I refused to give in, so here I go again. Good luck and keep up the good work! Best wishes Elsie17

Day 3 AF!!

Elsie,

Bet the fence looks great! Still hangin in there, good luck to you today. I do know what that little voice is like that just won't listen to the word NO, but then again I should be used to it, I have three children that do the same on occasions, but I have to admitt their not as persistant as that stinkin, rotten, no good, lousy voice in my head that tries to convince me I need a drink. Hopefully, after 1,000 or so No's it will give up.
