    Gooood Morning Nest!
    55 days today, feeling good.
    Allswell, what a way to celebrate your 55! I had no idea you were a runner! I love to run too and I have a race in June. Tell me about how you train? I'm just getting back on track. (pun intended)

    Today my kids and I are putting out some more bird feeders and playing in the snow a bit.
    I love getting an early start!
    Day 1 again 11/5/19
    Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
    Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
    Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
    11/27/19: messed up but back on track
    12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track

    One day at a time.

      Good morning Nesters!

      Great to see everyone checking in

      allswell, good luck with the race - awesome!

      SH, it's true......without AL we are so much more focused & can get a lot done. I'm sure your kids are enjoying their new & improved Mom

      I have a long list of things to do today so I'll get to them.
      Wishing everyone a fantastic AF Saturday!

        Hey Willow....glad you have your energy back...and I CAN tell you exactly how long it will last! Until you drink again..... I never drank harder than the year I tried to moderate. Now that AL is off the table completely..a calm peace has settled in. There will always be conflict in your mind as long as there is hope alive that you can have a reasonable relationship with AL. I can say that, because I have lived it. It is a hard thought to finally accept....but the voices in my head are now at peace with it.
        Just my opinion...(trust me, nobody fought it harder than I did) Byrdie
        All you gotta do, is get thru this day. AF 1/20/2011

            Good morning and afternoon Nesters!

            Feeling great today after getting a nice long restful sleep. What a difference just a simple thing as sleeping and being sober does to your mental health. Day 4 AF and looking forward to a sober weekend getting some meetings and laying out a recovery plan. Have a great day everyone!

              Hi everyone.

              Have just bumped up a thread in the My Story section, which is absolutely inspirational ( originally for followers of the "physical Changes after quitting alcohol" thread) but then I thought any nesters struggling might benefit from it too.

              For those of you who are not familiar with it, take a look at Doggy Girl's "my new story starts here" thread and look at her before and after pictures taken a few months after she went AF. She posts them in Jan 2009 mid way through the thread. If they don't inspire you, nothing will !

              Keep going - as someone said on here last night, " don't quit before the miracles start happening".

                Hello brave and kind souls. I"m still here, 20 days AF and feeling much betterr. I' m connected to y'all everyday for moral support and want to thank you. Apologies for not posting much but it's like in the airplane when they tell you that in case of emergency, put your oxygen mask in place first and then you can help your neighbor.

                Whose post was this?

                It reminds of one of yours great motto "first the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man". . . . So don't take that drink!
                Just Do It !

                  Hey Nursie, good to hear from another runner! Yes, I'm in it big time. I always ran, even while drinking but then it was more to sweat out all the toxic shit I poured down the day before. Now I'm back to running for time. Finished today in the top 12% with 7:45 pace. I usually run 40 - 50 miles a week. I'd like to hear about your race in June.
                  2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

                    Here goes.... I am back admitting defeat. I am so ashamed that I have to do this - got it into my head that I could go for it alone, only to find myself in the worst state I have been in since joining here in October 2010. I will count tomorrow 4 March as my Day 1. Enough said - will check in tomorrow.

                      Hi Daisy! Welcome back!

                      AL is nasty and I had a scare myself today... Don't be ashamed. It could easily happen to any of us. See you tomorrow.:l

                        Evening guys! End of day 2. Been fine today - went out for dinner with DH and the kids. Completely didn't crave AL at all, so weird isn't it. Sat in a restaurant surrounded by people drinking and absolutely fine. Just shows how cooking dinner at home sets me off cos I'd really be fighting it usually (although it's probably cos it's only day 2 so cravings wouldn't have set in yet for me anyway).

                        Hope everyone's had a great Saturday! Take care x

                              My first day. Not really sure I want to be here, just know I have to do something different. I am ordering the book and reading a lot of post. Thinking about talking to my doctor.
