Thats great Techie I look forward to it, I really need to do this - I know I can get to day 7 quite breezily but for whatever reason I keep falling beyond that!! Its like I have these conversations in my head - you can have one don't be silly - no you can't you know you will drink the bottle - oh no you wont not this time you'll be fine and so it goes on and on and on it drives me in sane!!Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Hello all
Techi, 17 days, fantastic.
Hello toughintexas!
Pano I have had that same conversation in my head soooooooo many times. Persistence pays off, stay at it and you will crack that day 7 ceiling.
This was my third AF weekend. I can really feel a renewed sense of clarity and peace which is replacing the chaos that AL brings. I still have the picture I took of myself hungover 23 days ago in on my iphone. I look at it every now and again to remind myself what I am leaving behind. It is a powerful motivatorWhile we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

Morning all,
Panno - don't beat yourself up girl! we are all trying.. i'm only on Day 3 again..
Girly - you were right, giving up cigs did prove to be too much for me at this point.. one nasty e-mail from my ex this morning was enough to send me to the shops to buy more cigs.. not sure how much more I can take from my ex.. he is really depressing me :upset: my emotions are all over the place right now.. one min i feel fine and happy, the next i feel so miserable and unhappy.."It works if you work it, because you are worth it!!!"

Hang in there Katie. I'm on the same emotional rollercoaster. I just focus on being AF and hope that everything else will fall into place. I'd rather deal with the ups and downs sober then be hung over and dealing with them.Sober since 4/8/10 -OVER 150 DAYS AND GOING AF!!!!

Thanks Sk8punk.. I am really trying.. my ex is just putting me on an emotional roller-coaster which is affecting my ability to look after our son as I feel so upset all the time! He has no regard for anyone's feelings but his own.. cigs' are a way I get away from it all - smoking on the balcony outside, i collect my thoughts then go back inside and give my all to our son, who does not deserve anything but a mum who is kind and giving.. my ex only cares about himself.. and it turns out he didn't go the mediation appt yesterday so who knows what's going to happen now? i just want family court decisions so i can move on with my life - my ex is stuck in the past and bringing up things from our relationship all the time, i mean what is the point? we are over.. nothing he says now is going to change how i feel about him.. i dont constantly go on about the fact he beat me up last year, yet he is still going over crap that went on during our relationship.. i just want to move on and concentrate on our son and what is best for him.. but my ex is too immature to do that."It works if you work it, because you are worth it!!!"

Hey guys. How is it going there? One of those days for me. Really got to watch out for those bears. Nothing sounds more tempting right now then just getting drunk tonight after a hectic day. I'm exhausted. My defense system seems worn.AF since 15th March 2010
The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

Hi Johnny - I know how you feel. I get that a bit too often. The trick I use is logging on here when I feel the most pressure. Hang in there we need you!Outside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog its too dark to read
