Hi Teardrop and everyone else

Day 9 for me. Have to watch myself around this stage as its where I forget the hangover feeling and might give in to the urges. Had some drinking thoughts last night but luckily fell asleep on the couch before I could act on them.

Horrible, horrible day here. Think I will light a fire and read a book. Hope everyone is doing ok.

Doing fine here too ---- had one slip since the beginning of September ... but that's a whole lot better than I've ever done before. I'm feeling good and enjoying the AF days I've had. Thanks to all who encourage and inspire.

Hi everyone

Hope your flu is better Spiderpig, one sure way of not craving any Al when you are feeling that poorly. Day 10 for me and delighted to be in double digits, one third of the way through the month. For any of you doing this for the first time, it does get easier. I have done numerous 30 days since joining MWO and believe me the first one was the hardest. Keep at it, all those AF days do count.

Newday...well done for getting straight back on the wagon. Gald you are enjoying those Af days.... they are a lot better then hangover days thats for sure.
Rustop... i love being on the double digits, it does not sound so bad when you say one third of the way through the month.

Where did all the September club members go? Just checking in to let you know I'm still hanging in there. Have they all gone over to the AF Army? I'm finding it too hard to keep up with all the posts there by the time I check in. Far too many pages to go through.

Hello everyone:

I'm still in the club, now on my 10th day AF. Feeling pretty good, and I am glad that you all are with me. I will add more in a couple days, it is late here and I need to go to bed.

Keep the faith! Not having the morning hangover is a great thing, isn't it? And what about the guilt? That is a really downer too. I'm loving not having those twin thieves in my life right now.

BTW: Hubby stocked the cupbard with lots of half empty bottles from the hunting cabin. So far so good . . .

I am so proud of everyone's efforts!

Hi everyone

Day 11 for me and feeling the benefits of waking AF, have to say I have been a bit wiped out in the evenings. Fell asleep on the couch a few times but at least it was not alcohol related. It's probably my body getting used to no alcohol and trying to repair itself. Weather miserable this morning again but managed to get my walk with the doggies.

Good luck everyone.

Good Morning all ---- just checking in to report another AF day yesterday and today will be one too! Even though it's my hubby's birthday today, I won't open a bottle of wine to celebrate with him .... he'll be fine with that, he's not a big drinker like I was. (Oh, I like how I've said "was" instead of "am"! )

Congratulations to all who have remained AF since the beginning of the month (or longer). I did have a couple of slips, but that is much improved over where I used to be.

Spiderpig --- hope you're feeling a little better today.

HI EVERYONE,

Spiderpig hope your geting better day by day and stronger in yourself, just keep on drinking lots of orange juice like you have vitamins c is good for the flu....

12th day for me yes i have been feeling tired in the evening and sometimes during the day. did go for a long bike ride yesterday but afterwards could of killed for a drink but did dinner and clean up and went straight to bed. I know it still going to be hard because this is the time when the thinking thoughts come in, so need to keep very busy and have my wits about me.

i will try and post tomorrow if i can, but sometimes it hard at weekends.

Please Take Care everyone, stay strong and positives and have a good AF friday and weekend.:l

Love

Hi everyone

Welcome aboard Patricia. Getting started is the hardest part, once you get a few days you can go on a roll. Like Teardrop I'm on Day 12 and know I need to be careful around this time as the drinking thoughts do come.

Driving daughter quite late tonight but going to get some AF beer in as hubby enjoys his glass of wine and the temptation is there when the bottle is open, especially Friday nights.
Hope everyone has a great week-end.

Welcome Patricia ---- I found MWO almost 2 months ago. I had a hard time getting past a few days AF to begin with, but kept trying and each time I have to start over, it gets a little easier. I was hoping to try the 30 days of Sept AF, but have had 2 slips --- it's the weekend that seems to get me everytime. So out of the 12 days, 10 have been AF so far. This is a big step forward for me, so I won't beat myself up. I do intend to moderate in future, and now to only have a couple of glasses of wine if we're out with friends for dinner .... it will have to be a social occassion ... no more sitting home drinking bottles of wine by myself.
I'm enjoying the feeling of waking up without a foggy head, and a lot more energy to get on with things during the day. This alone is worth fighting off AL for those few hours in the evening.
