    To be honest...

    I drank three glasses of wine last night...on day 14 of an attempted 30 days AF.

    I'm determined not to beat up on myself and get right back on the horse. But where the horse is headed, I'm not sure.

    But I think I'll continue with my 30 day project. Kind of like that show "30 Days" (Martin Spurlock)... Remember the one where he ate McDonald's for 30 days straight?

    Anywho, I'm off track. The point is I'm going to try to remain abstinent for the next 15 days.

    Thanks everyone for your support. :l

    Definitely - get right back up & continue. :l That is definitely the right attitude.

      That's all you can do...get back up & try it again. Back in the days of my first trying to kick carbs & sugar, when I would fall off, I would binge for a day or so.

      I always thought, well hell, I already fell off, may as well take advantage of it.

      Now when I fall off (and after 10 years, I still do occassionally) I don't do the binge. I automatically get back on track.

      Now evidently I have to apply the same process to AL. I fell off at day 6, went for a 2 day binge & am back at day one....so don't feel like the lone ranger.

          Hiding things that happen is a trait of alcoholics most of us have used ourselves. At the end of the day we are only hiding things in denial when we do that. So well done for being honest and upfront.

                Crowgirl, that's the right attitude. Just start again and don't beat yourself up. UK is right, admitting and being honest about this is a big step forward. I used to lie and hide a lot of truths to drink. So being upfront and honest is one piece of moving forward being AF. Go for 15 days AF and more!!

                  The thirteen days you stayed AF were valuable and no one can take them away from you. The difference between a lapse and a relapse is clear. You are going right back to where you want to be and have learned that you like being AF. It was good, you felt healthier and proud. Yeah, dealing with feelings is not easy but it is real. Good job.

                    Go for a whole 30 af in a row again Crow. For me, 30 day's straight af, is somehow a bigger learning curve than say, 20. That length of af time was a great yardstick for me, in terms of finding out about how my mind will try to trick me.
                    Great going on 14 day's af, and here's to racking up many more.

                    Best wishes, G.

                      I agree Guitarista.

                      I've found the longer I go on I am finally really learning how to live, more about myself than ever. 1,2,3 weeks you are just getting over the intial effects of AL and only get a clear head further along.

                            Good job for picking yourself right up and starting over. No need to dwell on the past. All you can do from now on is move forward! Good luck to you, and let us know how you are!
