30 days! What now?

[KAT20]

30 Days today:shocked: If I can do this anyone can. Could not have done it without this site and all you wonderful people. I have been at this for over a year now and can't believe its finally happened. I'n so excited I am up early today. Not sure what I'll do to celebrate, it definetly will not involve alcohol. At this point I wonder, what now? I had planned to moderate after 30 days but not sure if that will ever be an option. I still have thoughts in the back of my head of failing. I think I'll stay on the wagon for awhile and continue to heal. I never realized how long it really take for are mind and body to clear of this poison. I'm pretty sure I still have some healing to do. ODAT is such an important phrase and one to live by. Best to all of you and thank you.:hiya:

Well done Kat
I feel the same - if I can do it anyone can. I have just finished sixty days AF and NF - and am wondering what to do now - ho hum. I was going to moderate after 30 and did have a couple of drinks the weekend I reached 30 but nothing major - then I decided to keep going for May and another month slipped by AF . Not sure what I will do for june - maybe moderate and see how I go but I would rather not even have to think about it. The 30 days just gave me some perspective but the 60 days has changed my mindset completely and I look back to the old binge drinking smoking me and it seems like a lifetime away and a different person. Never again will I ever go there. Well done again and for me it is also thanks to all the people on here.

I thought about trying to moderate but found out it was not an option. I feel better each new day I am AF so I am just going to keep it that way and stop counting. I have become a
non-judgemental non-drinker.

Kat!! Well Done on your 30 Days!! Keep it going!
Many of us come here with the goal of moderating. So, we plan to do the 30 days (RJ recomends at least 30 days before ever attempting to MOD)....At the end of 30 days we are feeling pretty darn good!
Our thinking is clearing, hangovers are still in our recent past. All of the issues that drinking brings into our lives, is also going into the past. We begin to think.........Do I Even Want to Drink again??? If so, Why? What does drinking bring to our lives?? When has drinking ever fulfilled its promises of relaxation and a happy time????

It is at this time, that many of us just decide that non-drinking is the way we choose to live. At a little over 5 months of non-drinking...(I still can hardly believe it!!), I cannot imagine picking up a glass again!! Simply put, I do not want or need it. I do not like the way it makes me think and feel! I know that accepting one drink would, in short order, send me back to the Abyss of problem drinking and all that it brings with it!!

Best Wishes to You!!
Kate

Kat ~ wtg go! That's awesome! I know eactly how you feel at this stage of the game. I wasted a lot of time worrying about when and when and when would I try to mod. But I was too scared.

Maybe you and Boozehag should read the following thread (if you haven't already). "Reversing Brain Damage" - in Holistic Healing. I posted some articles in there that Wonderworld posted in another thread. These articles really gave me hope as to how much our minds and bodies can still heal longer after we give up the booze. For example, we start producing new and healthy brain and liver cells after 90 days of abstinance!

Stay strong! You are both doing fantastic!

Love, Me
