AF Team April - Day 4

[Croft]

A Play in Three Parts:

Croft in the Hammock: "AF Sucks, I feel so deprived"

Croft standing by the Hammock looking at Croft in the Hammock: "I know the first days are tough, but it will be get better.

Croft Floating Over the Hammock Looking Down at the Croft Standing by the Hammock Looking at the Croft in the Hammock: Rolls her eyes.

Croft in the Hammock: "I feel like a little kid who has been sent to bed without dessert"

Croft standing by the Hammock looking at Croft in the Hammock: "You are not a little kid. You are a grown adult that made a decision to change her life. Now start acting like one. And alcohol is not dessert. Chocolate cake is dessert, go eat all you want. Alcohol is why you have been split into 3 people are are at the bottom of a scary escalator. Now get your butt back in the game and stop complaining."

Croft Floating Over the Hammock Looking Down at the Croft Standing by the Hammock Looking at the Croft in the Hammock: Rolls her eyes.

End of Act.

Well here we go further into April. Good luck to all who are joining me on this crusade.

Bessie - can you make those coconuts a little louder?

Great one Croft!. I haven't listened to that tape for a while, but you've got it down. Just wanted to say you're doing great and just hang in there now as sometimes the next day are two can be tough, but once you get over the hump it does get easier. I've never done the full 30 days so I will be in awe of you! Sending positive vibes your way!

Croft,

These first few days are truly the toughest and you are heading into the actual worst.

Days 4,5,6.

You are not denying yourself dessert, you are denying yourself poison.

Unfortunately, it is a poison that gives a pleasure you are denying yourself.

but it is nonethelss a POISON to your body.

Promise yourself you are going to make it through the next three days and I PROMISE you will start feeling better. Big time!!

On day 18 and feeling like a MILLION BUCKS.

Do I crave? Sometimes, is it as bad as the first week? No way!!

That 30 days AF is a real eye opener. I truly wish I had never blown it and had to start again and let myself get back to the old ways.

But, if you do the 30 days, you will truly understand how much better you feel. Period. and it is 10 x better than when you are drinking even a moderate amount.

AF Team April - Day 4

Act Two:
Get back in the Hammock and Don't roll your eyes. Make it happen. FEEL yourself letting go of the cravings. FEEL the suggestions taking hold. See all of yourselves putting down that wine glass or beer or whatever your alcoholic beverage of choice is and reaching for plate after plate of gorgeous chocolate cake instead (without putting on a pound - amazing). Watch your hands then reach out to your keybourd and your mouse and type in a big fat zero and CLICK it into the drink tracker forever. You are the leader of the April AF thread -- Feel the motivation behind that!

You wake up feeling refreshed, wide awake with no alcohol cravings in sight, 3 seperate CROFT zeros on the drink tracker (one on top, one on the side and one just below), and an intense need to post more and more witty threads.

End Act 2.

Croft - good for you for doing the hypno - it really does work for me. My craving is doing the hypno at this point. Can't wait to steal away and relax completely. I have a feeling our lives are pretty different, though. With kids - when someone tells you to imagine you have no responsibilities and nothing to do and to relax..completely, you don't question it - you say, 'thank god..wow, that's just what I need...hey, wait a minute - that's why I was drinking so much wine. Hmm. This is interesting...'. Of course, the hypno does not make me a fabulously interesting person to talk to like the wine does.

Going into our first weekend everyone -- good luck and Happy Day 4 : )
