:new:Hiya! Today I will keep my promise to myself and to my kids. Then tomorrow I will do the same. I can "not drink" for a week up to two weeks, but when my kids go to their Dad's for the weekend I go to the liquor store and feel like crap after that Friday night soaring, which I do again on Sat. Then come Monday I am bloated and fat...and it takes a week to get myself back. But sometimes I try to sneak in "just a little" during the week, my kids know I just pretend they don't. I am not in control. And how about the not talking about your drinking to anyone? That is a problem too. I am going to order the starter kit today and get on my way to a promise kept. I have 6 weeks of no kids, they are at their Dad's for the summer so now is the time. I can't spend this summer with AL !

MWO2 ~ I love your name!
How are you doing? I noticed that you have not posted since your second day and I would love to hear more about your game plan so to speak. I have not been on much and have been trying to get caught up on the new posts.
I just wanted to say that I think concentrating on your own health and happiness while the kids are away is a wonderful way to spend your summer! Good for you!!
We are here for you!
Best of luck to you.
Love, Me

Hiya, I am at my local public library using the computer; because for the last 3 days I have been getting "Domain Name Server is down" How extremely frustrating, it's happened a coupe of times before nobody seems to know why. uuggghhh
I have been AF the whole time so this is day 5 for me. I had alot of conversations with myself but wanted to be able to say AF still. I did get my package today with supps and cds so started the supps and when done here will walk balk home and do the cds... yep walked not that far really only a few blocks but need to start the excercise (sp?) and knew if I was in the car I would have that driving conversation of well might as well go to the store...
I went to a summer job yesterday and made it past all the stores that usually can call me in, but I did got to wally world and buy a bunch of flowers and new pots so I will plant tomorrow to keep busy.
Thanks for checking in with me..workout:chick:mwo2

Glad to hear things are going well. Congrats on day 5!! Wtg!
It's good that you know how to recognize your triggers (i.e. walking vs driving). That will so help the battle.
Thanks for checking in. I get nervous when new people seem to leave so quickly.
That stinks about your computer. Have you contacted your internet provider? I don't know if you know this or not, but a lot of PC problems can be fixed by shutting down the modem and then turning it back on after about 2 minutes. Just a suggestion.
Good luck with the Cds. Many people here like them. I have the ones for exercise motivation but I don't listen to them as often as is required. I really need to work on this.
Did you get the book too?
Thanks again for checking in.
Love, Me

Hiya! Yeah so it was the modem needing to be unplugged after all that! >"< So somewhere I need to put a note cuz survey says! when it happens againn I won't remember.
I am still AF let's see that makes this day 8. Really like the cd's and the book. I am just doing the sups and drinking tons of lemon water. Going to try no top. for now. I think the calms makes me too calm during the day or maybe I am just tired because the new plan. I feel like I have alot of energy at the same time though. My head can't rap itself around all that I want to do. Which might be why I would drink, when I get the point of feeling really good and feeling positive it's like I need to shut myself down. I worked at my side job this weekend and had fun being spunky. And I work in a small store that sells alot of AL. But rather than going home to "unwind" I went to the thrift store and then went to get stuff for baking breads for the neighbors. But I need to clean the house, mow the lawn organize roomsetc etc. I think I need to take not only being AF ODAT but also the other things in my life. Whew!!! sorry so rambly but happy to be back !!
THANKYOU EVERYONE for your words:
KateH1 - yes I am a reader so will look for that book
Thankful - Going to talk to myself in hypnosis for the exercise (ok had to look at you response 3 times to get the spelling right, that is one word I cannot spell!) help see if that works for me.
Nia70- Determined is a good feeling when it is postive rather than being determined to make it through another hangover day!

Hey, great! So glad it was just the modem. I learned that little trick years ago, I can not tell you how many times it "fixed" the problem!
You really sound like you are getting a lot done! Amazing how much time we have when we quit drinking, huh? lol
Keep up the great work!

Hi MWO2,
I'm impressed - you armed yourself, got busy and already have some very encouraging results. My only word of caution: in the past when I have achieved some measure of success I convinced myself that I was somehow different - that I didn't really have a problem with alcohol. And, predictably, I'd be "back in the cups" in short order. You don't seem to suffer from the same dilusion, but it's easy for we drinkers to play mind games. Keep up the good work. I love the cd's! You're well on you way . .

Nope no problem about me getting too cocky. Already went down that road. Not saying that this road won't be rocky, or that I won't try to take the wrong y. I was AF 8 yrs ago for a year, went to one AA meeting and just didn't care for it so did it on my own, had alot of other stuff going on at the time. But this time it feels more hopeful because of mwo >"workout:chick:mwo2
