Day 3 hopefully out of 30. I actually feel I can do it.

Striving for some more Pearls! Not giving up!!!

Okay then!

I am thinking perhaps that I am the only diver here, but that is okay...cause this is where I need to be right now!

I've just strung two AF pearls together..not as many as I planned, but better than nothing.
It's hard. I've done 30 AF and I KNOW how good it feels. So what calls me back?
Right now I am sitting here having my 6th drink. It is okay, it's not great though. I'm not even buzzed, so not sure why I'm still going.

It's almost like if I want to relax at all, then this is the only way my mind/body thinks it can be done effectively!
One thing I have worked out is that I need incentives..I am an incentives person it seems!
I need to reward my efforts constantly...but how this time!
I am worried about me..about my health/memory/general well being!
In many ways my life is great now...and yet this???
So I will dive for pearls again. Right now, for whatever reason I am not able to do more. Although when I did 30 AF.. I did see how much easier it is to do that than mod! So why is it that I seem to want to mod??
Chook *still diving*

Hang in there Chicken. I am still here with you.

day 6 for me. Have only drank 2 nights out of the past 3 weeks.

My favorite part is waking up in the morning and not feeling guilty. I actually feel proud of myself when I wake up.

Hi AK!

Yes I agree with you about waking up feeling good about yourself and just plain healthy! Great job on the 6 days!!!!!
It's getting the 3rd & 4th pearl that seems to be my hardest dive so to speak! So I need to work on this. Didn't get hungover last night,was pacing myself, but still feel blaahhh this morning!!!
Thanks for being there and hearing me ramble..will keep posting to keep myself going!

7 pearls for me today! My 7th was a beautiful black pearl to mark my first full 7 days AF.My necklace will be 6 white pearls, and then one black. What a pretty necklaces I will have at 30 days.

Chicken, you started this thread, so you can't go away. You have motivated me. If you read back you will see that I was struggling with 1 and 2 pearls, now I am up to 7! 7 can you believe it!

"I have 7 pearls! I have 7 pearls! I have 7 pearls!"

11 and going strong!

Had a pretty intense craving on Saturday night after moving all day, but had some hot coco instead. BF has been drinking beer in front of me, but it doesn't seem to bother me. I can see for the first time what it is like for him to see me drink, when he doesn't.

Both on the cravings & the on collecting 11 pearls. Hubby & I are doing this together so I don't have anyone drinking in front of me though...congrats.

Thanks Rejuv!
I feel pretty good. I can't wait until 2 weeks, then 3. I might drink on Thanksgiving, haven't decided yet. If I can push through Thanksgiving then I will get to 30 days.
