30 Days Hath September

Hello
we'll it's day 2, hope everyone is enjoying but if you're struggling know that you can do this. I'm feeling really hopeful. this morning I started with some prayers and meditation and I felt great. Peanut don't give up the faith, we can do this. You did it before if I remember correctly back in June so keep the faith and don't give up hope. I shared this website a couple of weeks ago but if you didn't get a chance to see the thread here's the website DailyOM - Nurturing Mind Body & Spirit I read the inspirational thought everyday before staring my work at the office. Hope you find it helpful. Peace

Thanks 1more - I will check out that website. I had thought that maybe some meditation or something might help me. I think I was grinding my teeth so badly back in May, that I may have done some damage (my teeth still hurt!) and I need to learn to stay calm and relaxed so that I am not always clenching!!! I've started back on supps today, so hopefully that will help.
Everybody - Here's to day2!! Stay positive - I know I am trying!!!

Can I still join you guys? The loser biatch in me drank yesterday! Just shear stupidity...no excuses. Didn't drink enough to wake up with a headache but I really don't want to drink at all. You all are sounding good and confident! Wonderful!
I think I want the Anabuse. Just something a little more cut and dry than the Campral (which works great when I let it).
Anybody else on Day 1 - Sept 2nd? I think we can caboose this group!

Day 20 is today but for this thread I am starting day 3. I am trying to stay out of traditional drinking situations. This Sunday is the NFL season kickoff and I usually go to a buddies house for a big party on that day every year. I wont be going this year and he understands why and is completely supportive. He even offered to cancel the party and come to my house and drink iced tea with me all day.

Good Morning everyone ---- I'm starting day 3 AF! Hope everyone was able to get some sleep last night. I don't know why, but my best sleep comes just the hour before I have to get up! Feeling good today ... how nice is that ... .no foggy head and some energy!

Goodmorning Day3!
Had to take the melatonin last night, despite being so tired. But feeling ok today. I just hate this struggle though. Always arguing with AL in my head - it's so stoooopid!!! Thank goodness there is not a drop of wine in my house! Day 3 is always hard for me, so I will probably have to drink some AF beer tonight to assuage (is that the right word?) my desire to drink!
Have a great day everyone!

Hello
Busy day for me today, I'm just now getting a chance to log in. I'm exhausted so I'm hoping I don't think to much about AL tonight. Day 3 and I feel my energy coming back. Hope everyone is doing well. Keep strong

Looks like we are is doing really well. Remember, AL will soon know that our September AF army is highly trained. Also, we are still accepting new recruits & re-enlistments!

Tough night! Had beer in my shopping cart but put it back. I decided I couldn't accept anything but a "0" on my drink tracker. I'm soooo glad I didn't drink tonight! Tomorrow will be hard, I work as a hostess at a German restaurant. Beer flows like water! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, I am surely keeping you all in mine.

Well done 1more and psalmgirl! Remember the saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" ---- stay strong. I'll have to take my own advice when this weekend comes up. I'm on Day 4 (again) ... never made it past day 5 before and never through a weekend (ever) ..... but I am determined to do it this time..... I'll have to take my own advice and tough it out!

Hey September gang!
Almost drank last night. But, I recall the recommendation to "jump into chat" if you need some help, so I did, and I didn't drink!!! I bought the wine, but left it in the fridge where it belonged. Problem is - it is there now, taunting me. Hmmmm....
Day4 today - good luck and good health to everyone!!
