    ODAT Thursday

    Hi Guys

    How is everyone going? I am on day 11, the longest I have got to in years. I don't think I will have any temptation until maybe tomorrow night or saturday afternoon. I am just planning on keeping myself busy, making lots of plans for this weekend.

    Have a great day everyone.

    ODAT Thursday

    Greetings ODATer's, hope the day is going well for everyone

    you go Ezzy, that awesome. it feel so good once you start racking up some double digits AF days, i found it keeps me going as I want to get bigger & better numbers.

    the funniest thing just happened to me, I was checking out my Facebook page , and had a freind request from one of my best friends EX-WIFE, the woman hated me when they were married, she was so jealous of how close he & I are, but now she wants to be Facebook BFF's. WTF. LOL.
    well it is 8.50pm here in NZ, still really warm evening, but it has clouded over a bit. I feel so bad for all of you having to cope with the winter snow, i had to go & find a temperature conversion table so i could work out what sort of temperature some of you guys are experiencing, WOW very very cold.
    stay warm

      Morning Ezz and Witchy and everyone else out there.

      Well done on the 11 days!!!!! You can do it. I'm sure you'll cope on Saturday. Just keep focusing on the fact that you've already done 13 days than and what an achievement that is.

      Today is day 29 for me which means I have finally got 4 weeks in the bag. Mighty proud of that. Wasn't feeling so great yesterday and still a bit through the wind today but better thanks to vitamins, healthy food and aspirin.

      hope you all have a stunning day.

      The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

        Johnny, I hope you realise how well you are doing, your posts sound so different from when you joined, do you feel like you are regaining who you really are again, not the alcohol soaked version, cause thats how i feel about my journey so far.

          Johnny - a big congrats on Day 29. You are right to be proud, I can't wait myself.

          WW - I have ofter wondered about that cold, something I don't think I could ever imagine. I found growing up in Ireland cold and we never even had snow. We haven't been below 35 here since before NY.

            You will get there Ezz I'm sure. You sound in such good spirits.

            WW. Yes absolutely Thanks. I feel like my (long forgotten) self slowly but surely. I was actually thinking yesterday that I havn't had an argument/fight with my wife for the past 4 weeks. We used to argue quite frequently (especially when I was hungover, drunk or just generally irritated as most of the time).
            It feels great breaking loose of the dependancy.

              Just read through yesterday's ODAT thread after I left. As mentioned above feeling better today (and it is day 4 without caffeine) so maybe it was simply caffeine withdrawel.

              Peanut. I am only taking Antabuse and a mild antidepressant. but have been taking for a month and not had probs. previously. Guess it is the caffeine after all.

                Hi all ODAT'rs

                Wow, just coming on and reading about how well you are all doing is just the incentive I need. Ezz and Johnny, both in double digits, well done.

                Very cold and frosty here but bright and sunny. Have just had a walk in the woods with the doggies so feeling very energized. Have a great day everyone.

                    Hey Savon. Well done on making Day 5. Day 4 seems to be one of those magical hurdles.

                    Another 3 hours at work and feeling a bit tired and worse again. Hope it will pass.

                      Hi everyone...you all sound so chipper and determined today. That is great.....well speaking of myself today is day 14. 2 WHOLE WEEKS AF!!!!!!!! i am so excited. i feel like so much has changed (within me) just in these last weeks. my head is clear. i am much happier. my body does not ache and i am so much more focused. i finished another painting last night so i will post it this afternoon..you all will really like it.....the wording at the top of the piece reads "She must suppress the beast within to find her way out of the darkness" the girl kind of looks like my mother which is who i got my ability to drink honestly with devil things coming off the top of her head. i have been reading up on the guy who refers as the alcoholism as a 2nd being with in you which he refers to as the beast. that has really helped me to think of it as that when the thoughts of drinking creep into my head. oh and i also start going to s shrink on monday. i have needed to go for a very long time but always knew they would tell me i have a drinking problem and would need to stop so i avoided it like the plague. but now i have nothing to fear. sorry this has been quite a ramble!!!! Have a strong minded, beast free day.
                      I must suppress the beast within so I can find my way out of the darkness.

                          Well done on 14 days Starfairy. I can't wait to get there, if I am so much more energized this week what will next week be like? And well done to everyone for not drinking today.

                          We went out for dinner and then to the beach to watch the sunset. It was so beautiful and on the drive home I kept thinking how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place, seeing things that I don't normally see because I am usually at home drinking. For the first time in so many years drinking is not living in my mind, I am not thinking about when I am going to have a drink, or looking forward to the weekend so that I can get drunk. I feel liberated in my mind. Something I didn't have in my first AF period before Christmas.

                            Good morning all,

                            It's so wonderful to hear how well everyone is doing, keep it up! On day 13 today feeling great to. I have so far worked out everyday this week, trying to get back in the habit of not missing a day, except maybe Sunday. Also trying to mix up my workouts, I find if I only do the treadmill I get horribly bored. I'm still looking to purchase the wii fit, not easy to find, unless I want to pay double it's price on ebay or amazon and I don't. But anyway wanted to say hello and have a great AF day.
