Good day friends!

Im surprised noone else has started this, let me be the first, I will be happy too!

Did you survive your Saturday night AF? Saturdays have always been hard for me, but I am happy to say my resolve right now is in FIRM place, so Saturday was just another day to celebrate life and be sober.

It seems my brain has made the switch to sober living, and loving sober life. I am smart enough to know, challenges will arise and I pray the Good Lord gives me strength to overcome.

Without a DOUBT, even with my small time in (almost 2 weeks) its sooo easy to see that sober life is so much better and so much worth it. Life is too short my friends, we have to make the most of it.

As others have said, if they can do it YOU can, and if Overit can do it, Let me tell you YOU can tooo!!! (Queen of former failure)

I wish you all my best and strength today to do ODAT.

Thanks for starting this OverIt... I was looking for it though I've not posted in way too long a time. But I am back, this time I am in for the long haul and my committment is to read and post daily. So it is Day 3 for me, sounds like an accomplishment but honestly I had a raging migraine on Friday from a binge on Thursday night, so I don't really feel like it means a whole lot. I can usually go 3-4 days before the cravings take over... but I am with you on the FIRM resolve to STOP IT. I say that now, but we shall see.... Congrats on your AF Saturday night =0) weekends are tough! And congrats to the post that will come after mine... Have a wonderfully happy AF Sunday ~DB

Good morning all. I am dissapointed in myself. Yesterday was day 6 and I made it through a double shift (trigger) with 2 drinks instead of 6....I am going back for one shift today and plan to remain sober because I feel bad from only 2 drinks. I liked it bertter when sober all week. Good luck to all.

Good morning everyone...did not make it thru Saturday night.Did not drink much but like Songbird I feel bad......is that my body telling me something???
Hope everyone has a Happy Sunday and next week is MY week!!!!
I am proud of your resolve Overit and motivated by it too....just can't seem to get my head in the right place? Maybe I am not ready to quit???? I know that's not true, but I can't figure out why I keep slipping when I want this so bad.

Hi everyone

Thanks for starting us off Overit. Had an AF Saturday night and feel the better for it. Like yourself I am now on Day 14. Week-ends are usually much harder but last night I had to pick up my daughter at 2.30 am from a party so drinking just was'nt an option, therefore I did not even think about it.

Beautiful day here, did not do a lot but enjoyed the sunshine and read the Sunday papers. Enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone.

Yeah Uni!!!! Im happy fer ya!!!

Mama Bear, I used to consider it a huge success if I only had one or two, or even one BOTTLE of wine. Thing was I was usually drinking a whole lot more than that.

Weekends are hard, so hard. I cant explain really how I am doing this. Its really rather unexplainable. I just pray I can keep it up.


DiscoBunnie and Songbird. Try to get to the magical week. I know, easier said than done, but the more time passes AF, the less and less you want to go back.

Hey, y'all, AF Sat night thanks to y'all. On day two here and not having fun, but I am realizing that while some go through a physical detox, I must go through a mental one. The psych ward is always available if need be.

Hello All,
Beautiful day here in the Northeast. I am so happy to be hangover free so that I can get out and enjoy the sunshine. Weekends are definitely tough, and, trust me, I did alot of praying this weekend. I am not around much these days, but I try to share on this thread anyway. By the Grace of God, I will have 60 days in the morning.

Good morning from cold Florida! I had 2 yesterday too, but in bar atmosphere again...gotta work untill I find other work. I waitress today. Should be a good af Monday! Dentist right after....I don't have the time to drink today and I am hating my 2 days that I slipped. At least I did not go back to the "place" where I need one in the morning or before noon. I will do this!

Mama bear...It doesn't matter where you live...Fl. gets a bad wrap and I find myself saying I hate it here and that gives mwe another reason to drink. But I have lived in many different states, countries, islands and it is all the same! Drinking is a universal problem. I still do fantasize a mountain or two down here, or even a snowflake!!!!!!
