    Its Day 8!!!! Me? AF??? Can it be???

    I am am happy.I am afraid of becoming some overzealous AFer but I am proud that today I kept my word-I will not drink!.... I realize its time to shift gears. What is my plan of action? How will I be accountable..Who will notice besides me? I guess the last one doesn't really count (lol) . I've achieved week 1 and now week two....My questions are -what do I have to change in order to accomplish what I want-long term and short term?....hmmmm. I realize that I have to get rid of some people. I've been around my neighbor/ friend for almost 10 years and we both suffer from this malady, but she's okay with herself, and within these 8 AF days I am not digging what I see. Or what people saw in me. This cannot be a balanced relationship right now...She is who I dont want to be any more. I feel bad about that-but I sure dont miss the drunken arguments we normally get into....I pray that I'm an inspiration to her.:h

    Its Day 8!!!! Me? AF??? Can it be???

    Yes, MD - it CAN be!! Good for you!

    Maybe you can see your neighbor IF she's not drinking... (surely, there are times when she doesn't drink...?)

    My goals went sort of like this:

    - Couple days AF
    - 4 days
    - 1 week
    - 2 weeks
    - 1 month

    Now I'm at 1-half months... and I'm just keeping with it w/out a specific goal at this point. It seems easier NOT to drink! I know I'm feeling better about myself as a result. I don't feel like dipping back into that pit of depression, etc.

      Hi MD,

      Congrats on you AF time! You've done very well!

      Changing habits sometimes means having to leave some people behind.........
      You are moving forward, taking major steps toward a healthier future for yourself & family. Your neighbor will notice these changes & at some point she may be ready to make them too. You can be a good example for her in the future but right now you need to focus on yourself & your plan.

      Think about where you want to be in a month, 6 months, etc. The possibilities are endless

      Wishing you continued success & please drop in the Newbies Nest, let us know how you are doing!

            MD and RP,
            Day 8 is great. Keep it going. The days may go slow at the beginning, but it gets quicker and easier as time goes on.

            You will feel better and better.
            Keep reading and texting.

                  Good job on 8 days, MD. I had to stop hanging around a woman friend when I went af. Not because she drank, but because she was so nagitive! Take care of yourself and keep piling up the af days.

                          Congratulations!!! I'm a little bit envious, but from good side I'm just on my second and 8 days sounds like an eternity...

                            wow,

                            you are all an inspiration. I really like the copule of days, then 4 days, then 1 week. I sure hope that can be me in the near future. Working on day one. should have been day 3 but today is a new day and the start of my future. You all are inspiring me and giving me hope where even a couple of days ago I felt hopeless.
