3 WEEKS AF!

[lil.michelle]

Hey everyone!
WELL today is my 3 week mark! Honestly don't know how i've made it so far. Every day i'm like 'This is the day i screw up, i NEED to drink, screw it I AM going to drink' then somehow the end of the day is here and i'm like, oh wow how the F*** did i pull it off and not drink?!?!' That seems to be my daily rountine! :H

SO what i want to ask if what after 30 days? What is it meant to show? how am i meant to feel? what is the whole 30 days about? I kinda feel like i'll get there and be like.... now what?!? Do i start back at day one and keep going and going?

Good for you LM!!! Like Gia said, after that, of course, it's up to you! The way I looked at it was that it was just time to do another 30 days. Now, I have done that twice, and I figure it's time to do another 90 days. Pretty soon now, I plan to be counting years. Why go back to drinking? Does anything good ever come of it, for you? It certainly never did, for me...

Michelle, when I think back to some of your posts a while ago, you were so lost and desperate. NOW look at you! You are doing fantastically well it is a pleasure to watch. Your hubby and little girl must be so proud of you as we are too.
So, what do you do after 30 days? You keep going and you learn a new way of living and a new way of coping. You can do this and it will get better all the time.
WELL DONE!

michelle,

It's been so long since I've been 30 days AF I don't even remember so I can't give you any advice but congratulations and you're a big inspiration! :goodjob:

Excellent job lil.michelle!! So proud - and that means it is your baby girl's birthday in 9 more days?? What a fantastic goal. I had the same questions when I did 30 days. I was almost scared as to what would happen next. I stayed AF until day 34 (Ithink) then had some wine, then went AF for several more days. I was afraid the 30days did not teach me to moderate, and that was what I was scared about. I actually did quite well keeping my drinking to a minimum for a few weeks, then went on holiday and all hell broke loose. BUt I keep coming back and trying. I think you should just keep counting the days, like Waiting suggested. You may chose to stay the AF path, feeling good and proud!!

I felt the same way appoaching 30 - like now what??? I almost felt like after 30, I had "permission" to drink again. I find it easiest to just keep going. I've had a sip or two on three occasions, but really was too fearful to have more than that. Right now I find it easier to say no than try to control it. It puts an end to the internal battle. You'll find your own way out, just keep up the great work!

WOW congrats to you, Dont count by days anymore, count by months. I am 13 days AF, and when I get to a month ( I WILL get to a month!) I am going to stop looking back- the worst is over Now I just will focus my mind on drive forward- not reverse. You should do the same!
I look forward to hearing from you in a month-
I am right behind you!
