Hi Twitch and all to come
You are so right Twitch, the mornings are so worth it. Waking up AF starts the day off on such a good note. Nothing worse than waking and not remembering the night before and that awful feeling of self loathing, ugh!!!
Evenings and week-end are the hardest but hang in there, YOU WILL get through today and that's all any of us have to worry about. Have a good one everyone.

Aauuuggghhh, wrote a long reply and lost it.
So, quick check in - day 27. Still depressed, figured out I don't think I am happy in my relationship. Who friggin knows, I am really confused right now. Starting to realize why I was drunk all the time now. But I refuse to give in here and will continue this fight. I like being Af. Now i just have to figure out what the hell to do about my happiness.
But first, it is off to a hockey tournament.
Love you guys.Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction.
I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

Hi guys!!!
Universal, you have always been so great at giving such amazing advice to others. I've always appreciated your posts.
As I am sure you well know, no relationship is more important than the relationship you have with yourself and your sobriety. In other words, take care of yourself first! Im sure that is easier said than done, but I hope you get over whatever is causing you to be depressed.
My father has said this to me many times. I suppose its only when your an adult do you really listen to your parents, LOL!
He told me.. "When the pain, outweighs the Pleasure, then its time to move on."
Mama Bear, so glad you are doing better today. I know we all stumble, but try to put the tools in place for the next temptation.
Twitch, great job!
Love all you guys, and hope you all enjoy your day.

Happy ODAT friday!
Twitch - day 8! Good going girl.....:goodjob:
Catch - I did AA at least once a week for 2 months and it really helped me when i was having a wobble so good on you for going last night.
Mama B - Get back up here on the AF wagon and hang on tight, it gets bumpy now and again!
Spam - Hope you are ok? :l
Wishing everyone a wonderful AF weekend, remember if you get tempted by the thought of "just one drink" to fast forward in your head to 5 hours later and see what state you are in by then, jump on another 7 hours and imagine how you feel when you wake up! Lets have that wonderful a-ha saturday morning moment instead.

Hi Overit - crossed posts
I love that quote from your Dad!!!
Universal - The other thing to remember is that the 1st few weeks AF can be an emotional rollercoaster, I was up and down like a yo-yo, best to let things settle before making any big decisions.OverIt2007;816658 wrote:

I completely agree with Chill. A few years back, during a bout of depression, I almost left my husband. OMG.....what a mistake that would have been....let things level out and then do what is best for your and your childrenI love my family more than alcohol.:h
