Scrubbly - the red wine gets me too. If I have left over White Zin in my fridge (from my mom) it is like I don't even have wine in the house. I'll drink the white though. The vodka, etc. downstairs on the bar collecting dust doesn't tempt me either. Just got to keep the Merlot and Chardonnay out of the house!

Pan-icked - AWESOME on getting to day 10! Today is 9 for me and I can't wait to hit the double digits!!!!!!

Mom2ajt - we started AF the same day! 5/24 was my first "start over" day after my DUI so let's make a plan, we'll do the 30 days together!!!

Nothing like having someone else to be accountable to, right? We can make it to 6/24 girl! For our kids, and for ourselves!!!:goodjob:

Hey Guys, I'm in for another 30-day AF stint! My original plan was to mod after the first 30 AF days, but I think I would suck at modding just now. It feels so good to be AF that I don't want to risk it. So, here we go! I'm glad to be in such good company.

Every day you get through you will feel a bit more proud of yourself - that will help you through the next day! You can do this - we will get our 30 days

Thanks so much, Fab Abs (great name, BTW)! You will feel like a different person at the end of your 30 days. You will probably remember long-forgotten things that you used to care about, and wonder where they've been lurking. If you're like me, you will laugh more, sleep better, feel more at ease, have TONS more time because you're not sleeping off the AL, hiding, or planning your day/evening/grocery trip around a bottle. You'll wake up one day and realize that you're "one of those people" who doesn't even think about AL every day. If I could sum it up in one word, it's: FREEDOM!!! It's my wish for all of you, and I hope to hang on to it for as long as I can. I'm also humbled, knowing how easily it can slip away.

Many thanks for starting this great thread. There really is a lot of power in knowing your friends are out there, sticking it out too, when you're struggling. There were a few tight spots last month when I literally said to myself, "I won't disappoint Mica!" (she happened to start AF on the same day that I did) -- and I managed to get through them.

Good luck to us all!

Love,

LilBit

Good Morning! Early day here in USA. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Today, will be Day2 AF for me. I apologize for not addressing everyone personally. I have a hard time with all the different names, until I get familiar. Guess I killed a few brain cells with the AL. Hoping everyone has a great, successful day! Shelby

I got really drunk yesterday, after getting my liver function test, saying normal ( how crazy is that). My drink of choice is anything, beer, wine, spirits. I don't like the taste of any of them, I only drink for the effect. I'm just praying that I can stop. At the moment I'm desperate for a drink.

Hi Paula

Never mind about yesterday, we can't change the past and well done on your liver test. What you can do is keep that liver healthy from now on....

Its so hard, I know what you mean - most Friday nights I get absolutely wrecked after a stressful week at work - I don't enjoy it, I know I'll regret it the next day so why do I do it?!

Good luck, I have wine in the house, I'm on day 3 af, really feel like a little glass to relax but need to resist....

Hi Paula

Last year I did the same thing - had to get liver test before setting up insurance policy (cos I was honest about my alcohol units duh!) came back normal so I drank myself stupid most weeks over the last year....whats that all about? If my test had come back with damage I'd have probably got pissed too!!Any reason is a good one at the time. Keep trying & good luck. For me day 3, just come back from work in full sunshine so right for a glass of chilled white, but no - got the ginger ale, lime and a stack of ice...you know what its alright...maybe just maybe this is do able! I have an addiction to this site catching up with all your stories and experiences...hope I can replace the other addiction.
