It's Day 1 for me

[FoolsGold]

Went 16 days AF in January & am now going for 30 starting today. I'm at the point where I don't have a choice to make a change, I just know I have to. Will keep you posted.

It's Day 1 for me

Hi there FG and Panno, you can both do it. I am on day 29 today! My goal has been 30 just like you two. For me the first week, and the first couple of weekends were the worst, and it has got a lot better - so one day at a time. Remember, like Mario taught me, the urges come like waves - you can expect them, surf them, and they will pass. Also, like Doggygirl taught me, don't let your mind fool you with how beautiful and awesome drinking nights are, "play the whole move", what happens later, tomorrow, after, all the bad stuff - this concept will help with the mind tricks.

You can do it,
Hill

Great! keep building up those days and before you know it you will reach 30 days. I am on 38 now and have had the waves Hillsidetime talks about (quiet a few actually) but stayed focussed when these times arise. Know that every wave you ride you become more experienced. Learn to be patient with yourself and know giving into the AL will not make it easier what will is living through them. i always repeat to myself what doesnt kill me will only make me strong - seems to work for me
Treat yourself, acknowledge your achievements day by day and always remind yourself it will get better and better with each day.

Congratulations Hillsidetime:goodjob:

All the best on your journey:l

Again thanks to everyone for the support. Had a terrible nights' sleep last night so hoping for better tonight. I'm just trying to get through the hours and we'll let the days look after themselves. All the best

Congratulations on day 2! I am RIGHT behind you.... we can do this! As far as not being able to sleep...have you ever tried a "guided meditation" for sleep? I downloaded a few from Amazon (99 cents each!) and I CANNOT even get through the whole thing without falling into a deep sleep. Just something to maybe consider.

Hey FoolsGold - from one FG to another - good luck. I'm on day 16 right now. What made you fall in January? Anything in particular? I've felt very good, but have been worried that maybe I'm feeling tooo good & need to be vigilant right now that there may be danger of falling. I have also been very hopeful too though, since I"ve never done this well. I like the wave theory . . . I'll be using that myself.

Good luck - I'm sure you'll make 30.
