I haven't told anyone in fear of that same reaction. They would be like "why would you want to quit" or think less of me cause I couldn't "handle my liquor" I would like to be proud of my decision but for now I'm going to keep it to myself. I'm proud of you Paisley for being so open, I might have taken the "have a pretend drink" route. Good for you

Okay guys, i think we all understand this thing we are trying to get a handle on is hard. there is no doubt about it but at least we are here and doing something to get this ball rolling. I made Day 5 (Friday night) I am about to take a shower or hot bath and call it a night (maybe watch a little TV then go to bed)

Thank you guys soo much for all your insight. WE are strong bunch and DO NOT FORGET if you and I fall it is our duty to help each other up again because thats what we need.

Congrats on all your achievments thus far and remember if we fall today we rise tomorrow. no problemo.
Goodnight Guys. TTU2morrow!

Cant wait to have my regular appetite back though but right now I am focused on the AF project!!!!!!!!!

The L-Glutamine will help with those cravings....sugar I mean......

Hello All,

Well I just got back from dinner with my friend and this was our second night out to dinner where I didn't drink. His response to me is "Another night that I have to drink alone, that's no fun". Well I didn't give in and we still had a nice time. I didn't really say much about it - how long I intend to be AF - I think it's just best to take one day at a time. So it's the end of day 5 for me and I feel pretty good about it.

Congratulations to all who have made it through another day of AF and lets just keep strong through any difficult situations we may encounter. I found that by checking out this thread before I head into a potentially difficult situation - where staying AF may be a problem - has really helped me to stay focused. Thanks so much to all of you for your words of strength and willpower.

Howdy... I have made 14 days about a week ago but stuffed up again.
30 days is tough for me so maybe the 7 days is a good way to go.
Thanks for the great idea!!

Cmon and join!!! I actually intend to make this an incremental thing of 7days. its just harder (for me anyways) to look at a long range goal so I am breaking 30 maybe 60 and who knows how many days into a weekly goal. Hey, all these weeks add up you know!!!

Congrats on your day nine!!!

welcome!!!! someone once told me break things into smaller goals then we can attain those bigger goals in the process!!

WELCOME all you guys!!! Even if you're on day 17 or 51 or day 3 or day 1. lets do this

Okay sorry for yapping so much this morning.

Good morning guys!!!

Hope all is well??

Day 6 for me is going to be a humdinger of a challenge because Saturdays can be harder than Fridays at times. As i have been reading some of your postings though, i feel encouraged to stand by my goal (this is really helping my self esteem) i feel like i am my own friend and i dont want to let myself down. psychologically i think we are doing wonders for ourselves.

even though tomorrow is day 7 for me/ i intend to start another 7day on monday (actually it will be 2cnd week AF) i am just thinking i can tackle this thing in a range of 7 days.

Okay i am here for all of you guys!

I'm in too--starting yesterday. I visited this site a few months ago and then thought I had a handle on things but i was WRONG. Sometimes I can have a few but sometimes just a few change my personality and cause blackouts. I made a major fool of myself in front of work people and i feel like I wish I could turn back time or never have to see them again. I know I have to face my demons, but this is the last time I need to feel this kind of shame and humiliation. I never want to feel this again. I think this is my last chance to be the person I want to be.

Oh Oneness, I think just about everybody here knows that feeling.

I have been stringing days together then decide I can have a beer or two- of course I cant just beginning to feel semi-normal again after another binge.

Well, here's to the next 7 days AF.

Day 3

I am on day 3 today, and the first Saturday in ages that I don't have a hangover. More than the hangover, it's so nice not to be beating myself up. Think I will be able to get more"done" today, because I don't feel so badly about myself. I am "missing" drinking though, in a way--the feeling that I will be able to "numb out" and relax later this evening. I hope that desire goes away, because that is hard to ignore.
