          Morning all!
          Today is day 10 AF for me.. i'm working all this afternoon and night so know I will not be tempted today.. I have plans to go to the movies tomorrow, and do some browsing of bookstores.. I really want to keep away from AL.. I just keep reminding myself how much I have stuffed my life up from the stuff.. and how much I want to be 100% improved by the time I get my driving licence back, so I don't end up with another DUI, and end up possibly in jail!
          I hope everyone has a great weekend - when times are tough, keep reminding yourselves why you are doing this.. an AF life is a consequence-free life! (pretty much).. with AL who knows what will happen?
          Love K xx

            Hi I am back from a long drinking binge and am on day 5...I am hoping for the best for the weekend. I started out trying to string 5 days, now I think if I keep going I may start feeling better.

            Work is a trigger for me too. I work in bars and restaurants and there are free drinks to be had.....I will find an alternative....

            Good Luck everyone, and me too.

              Hello All,

              Looks like everyone is doing well with their AF days or their modding!

              It is Saturday morning here in the UK and I am hoping all of you found ways to get through Friday night and have some sort of plan to get through the weekend!

              I would like to reply to the above posts personally, but I have little time this morning so will just send you all STRENGTH OF THOUGHT this morning.

              If you have cravings or thoughts about drinking, accept that you are having them and it is all part of the process of changing a habit that we have lived with for some time.

              Make up your own positive affirmation and repeat it when craving....eg: I am becoming a stronger person every day that I obstain or cut down my consumption.

              Have a good weekend everyone!!
              Amelia

                  Hi all,
                  Songbird.. I would definately change jobs if I were you and get out of that kind of environment if you want to change.. there's no way I could work in a bar or restaurant surrounded by AL and expect to not give in! well done on your 5 AF days.. keep strong.
                  Amelia - thanks for the encouraging words
                  Twitch - well done for day 8!! and congrats for walking past the AL in the supermarket.. i'm from the UK (but now live in Oz) - but remember them selling AL everywhere and not just bottle shops like over here.. it must be hard.. so well done!
                  Here's to another AF day moving on to tomorrow,
                  K xx

                    Good Morning...I live in Fl. and who klnows what time zone I'm in, but I am about to start day 6. Feeling better this morning....My job is singing at those places and I also work in a restaurant and both places are probably not good. I will watch the "stupid" ones get drunk today. That is my plan, and tell them I am on meds which I can't drink on.

                    Good Luck all!

                            Morning everyone, the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day! Better still is that I haven't drunk for a week now! I feel so much better and actually feel proud of myself for this small step.

                            If anyone out there is struggling please don't give up. You only fail when you stop trying. Also, have a PLAN! This problem of ours does not simply disappear by itself just because we want it so. Most of us have spent many years getting ourselves into this mess so it's not going to be fixed in a minute.

                            So what's your plan to stay AF? Mine have included:

                            Be the designated driver
                            Plan something to do where you can't drink (cinema,swimming)
                            Don't have alcohol in the house (the decision to drink is made when you buy it not when you open it!)
                            Tell someone close to you in the real world that you aren't drinking. It makes me feel acountable.
                            Have lots of soft drink alternatives available. When the urge strikes have one of these. I've noticed sometimes I'm craving the quick sugar hit as much as the booze itself!
                            Have an explanation prepared if anyone asks why you're not drinking (got a big day tomorrow or on antibiotics) But remember it's none of their business!

                            Good luck everyone!
                            If alcohol made you happy I should be the happiest person alive! I'm not.

                              Morning all, as Bluesky say's it's a beautiful one here in the UK, picked a few daffodil's this morning, I did have a drink last night, I wouldn't have but my daughter arrived with a bottle and wanted us to drink her and her partner's health as they are engaged, so I had one ,normal sized glass, enjoyed it and went to bed, the open bottle still in the kitchen and that's where it still is this morning,one little glitch, but justified I think and no real desire to have any today, feel on top of the world today, stinking cold but no hangover and I lost 1 1/2 lbs last week, so back on track today. have a Marvellous March day wherever you are ,love and hug's Twitch. xxxx

                                Good Morning / Evening to everyone !!

                                I really thought this would be my first month of total AF. Felt so great last week with 4 AF days during the week. Lost 1 pound of bloat. I did give in to wine this past weekend, but still feeling good today.

                                I'm all excited about another AF week and not having to run to the wine store for more. I think once I can really enjoy my AF days during the week, that I can carry that same mindset over the weekend. I refuse to give up !!

                                Looking so forward to my biggest and longest AF days this Marvellous March !!

                                Great job to ALL on your AF days so far this month !! Welcome aboard song bird and megpeg. Best of luck to you all !!
                                Miss October :blinkylove:
