almost 2 days without even a nip!

:happy:With the support of this community, some determination, some exercise, and probably the kudzu.......I am almost 2 days without a drink. AND, for the record, there is a big old hairy bottle of whiskey in the pantry! I'm so proud of me.

But I'm here to tell you--if I can go almost 2 days without a nip, so can you.

Every year at New Year's I say, "This year I'm going to have more sober days than drunk days." I fail at this miserably--and have for at least the last 4 years. Can you believe that??

I'm starting to see things a little more clearly.

Thats great Bell, keep up the good work. When the AL finally leaves our system everything does get clearer. That moment just on waking every morning and we realise that we didnt pick up a bottle last night is wonderful. We can face the day feeling human and with a clear head. All in all it just gets keeps getting better and better.

I have been saying the same thing at New Years Bell and again Jan 01 2010, it didnt happen but in Feb it did, and I havent looked back! I wish you much success and cant wait to see your progress.

That is great, Bell.. congrats
Today is day 4 for me.. keep at it, if the people on here that have been AF for years can do it.. so can you! good luck with your journey.. can you not get rid of the whiskey bottle though and remove temptation out of the way (if you can't throw it away, maybe give to a friend who does not drink much?).. I know I can't keep AL in my house, or I would have drunk it all by now.. I even once put a couple of bottles (of wine and baileys) in the garage thinking it would be out of temptations reach.. how wrong I was - I ended up going back to the garage throughout the day and finished the lot! :H oh well.. that is why I have to stay AF!!

Katie--thanks for the post and the thought. The problem is (and I guess it's not really a problem--I just need to say something).........my husband doesn't know how bad my drinking really is. A little over a week ago I finished my last bottle of whiskey--and my husband bought me another one. He hides it, but of course I always find it when I want to. (And I usually want to!) There is also a fridge full of beer. I don't honestly know HOW I've gone almost 2 days without getting into all of it!

The point here is I need to ask my husband to help me and be more honest about how much I've been drinking. He'd walk through fire for me, so the ball is in my court. I'll let you know how that goes.

Here's to you! Thanks for your support.

:thanks:

Very good job in deciding to be honest with your husband. That is hard.......I know. But that is great that he will be supportive of you.

I am with Hoping for the Best, my new years resolutions went down the toilet, but for some reason my February is looking bright!

Are you ready for your sobriety? If you really truely deeply passionately want it now, then hold on for the NEW journey of freedom with your friends on here!

Two more hours for me, then bedtime and I've made it 2 days AF!!

It was important to have as much of my "iffy" time planned as possible. I walked my adorable dog, then ran to the grocery too look for some health foods I've been enjoying. Took care of me in more than one way!

Well done B looking after yourself is the right way to go. I'm sure your husband will give you all the support you need, you never know he probably is aware and that is why he hides the whiskey in the first place!! Good luck and well done on day 2AF :l
