I hope everyone has a great day.. and well done again Talula Blue - it must have felt great waking up un-hungover from your birthday.. I had a sober one this year too.. though I did have one glass of champagne with lunch, i didnt have anymore that day, which was a huge improvement for me!

A big shout out to Techie, Katie and Blinder on your successful AF days.
Techie, I am right behind you on the days. YOu were a big help to me when I first signed onto this site.
I agree with you on hoping things calm down a bit. That is one of the most upsetting cruises I have ever had! I had to do some sleuthing before I could figure out what happened. Too bad.
But stuff happens. And we move on....

Good night all....... ( its 0.43 am here). Well I have just done ten days..... so happy with myself. I did want to have a drink this evening though, it was such a pathetic wet ( whats new in Ireland) and horrid day, kids housebound and raising hell. Few folks came over, bottle of wine was out and a few beers, but I said I wouldn't have any and I didn't..... sort of chuffed with myself now.
Talula happy birthday, well done for keeping sober that day, all I seem to need is an excuse, ie, its raining, It's my birthday, the dog is sick, I am worried about something.......etc.

Teapot - that's fantastic! well done for keeping strong. and its good that you know your triggers ("excuses") - as that way, you can prepare yourself.. AL lies to us and tells us we need it when we don't! it often leads to more damage in our lives than any good coming of it.. well done for 10 days!

Hey Sister Teapot!! Well done on the 10 days and overcoming all the temptations!! Of course all any of us need is an excuse - anything - next door neighbours dog has rabies would have done me in the day!!
Why don't you check out the 'newbies nest' thread as well - lots of us struggling and huffing and puffing over there as well!!
Lovely Irish morning now - have to go to work tho!

Hi Katie, Techie, SpinningJ, Prancy, Teapot, Mollyka, Talulablue and all other fellow hikers. Day 19 for me, hanging in there (have to admit that I do feel like a weee drink...BUT I'm not going to). I am just about to have dinner and enjoy some TV and get to bed early. I have no booze in the house as I poured it all down the sink when I started the 30 day challenge and it too cold to head out to get some. I have no idea why I feel different today but I am determined to keep strong.

Hope you are all having a successful day.

Love to you all x:l

Hello all,

Is it all right if I rejoin your hike? I was on the 60 day "Boat that Rocked" challenge, but things are a bit riff there, and I would really like to be in a place that is positive, and focused on sobriety.

Today is day 67 for me. I have my sister and her family visiting form the States for the rest of the month which is such a treat. My sister and brother in law don't drink, so there is no problem with temptation. We spent the evening last night talking over desert and tea. Such an enjoyable evening, and I didn't wake up in the morning and have to worry about what I might of said or how I might have behaved. Very liberating.

Anyway, hope you all are well and keep the summit in your sights!
