Made it to Day 14!!!!
Don - you are 100% correct. I feel totally awesome. I didn't see it at the time but looking back, it was like I was walking around everyday in a funk. I think more clearly now and wake up in the AM feeling refreshed. I used to drag myself out of the bed - a lot different now. It really is amazing what AL will do to you and you don't even know it until you are AF!!!
Julie - If I can do it, anyone can. Anytime you start thinking about a drink, do something physical - anything. I found that when I got home from work, that my first thought - a drink and plop down on the couch - usually around 6ish. So, I made myself scarce at that time - made sure I was not even home. I got involved in exercise and actually enjoy it. I allow myself a swim and a trip to the sauna every time I exercise. I guess the shrinks would call it something like replacing my pleasure points. Anyway, all I know is that it works and I'm nothing special so it should work for anyone.
The Drink tracker is on the main community page. Just scroll down to the miscellaneous section and you should see it. You will have to log on there even if you are logged into the board. Try it for awhile. Every morning when I put that zero in I feel like another day I kicked Al's ass.
Take care. PM me if you have any questions or if I can be of help. Be glad to assist. However, there are alot of folks on this board that know alot more than I do.
Regards,
MNL
