Hi IJR.
Stirly here again. I read your post about being in a pub and drinking grapefruit juice. Way to go. Lemonade would be a good choice, too. Keep up the good work. Will be following your progress and rooting for us all:l

If he can do it, we can do it...

IJR - Stirly here again. You mentioned the cravings are there so I just wanted to tell you this. I have a friend who has had a drinking problem for many years and since April 2003 has been trying to be AF. He would stop for a few months, go back on and then AF on and off for a few days at a time a couple times a year. He sent me a message a few days ago to tell me that he had just finished his first year AF on Dec. 1st. He used to start his day by getting up about 10am and would go take a slug out of the whiskey bottle before he even went to the bathroom. This would continue all day and night, finishing up about 2-3am. He usually drank between 1-1/2 and 2 bottles a day.He and various buddies all got together every day starting around noon and finished up after midnight. That was their "hobby". Drinking and playing pool. Whoever was available in the morning joined my friend and then others would start to drop by as they got off work or went out for the evening. As I said, he is now over a year AF. Here is the amazing part. The guys all get together at my friends bar and pool room. Now if he can work there every day, most of the day, except for a few hours rest in the afternoon and is AF under those circumstances, Lord knows we can do it. Keep up your positive attitude. We are all here to support you. I am just so thankful that I found MWO and found such great people here. We can get through this together. Because we all know what it's about.
Good for your friend that she supports you to. It's so wonderful to find out that someone you consider your friend, really is. Take care.
Stirly

:goodjob: IJR on pouring out the wine and being able to stay focused on staying AF. Yes, by all means keep us posted of your progress. Startingover is right, it does really help alot people out to read other MWO members stories, sheesh it sure helps me.

Anywho, congrats on your progress. Keep up the good work.

Lots of hugs,
Janet
