    Saturday Morning and no hangover.

    Well its Saturday morning here and it's the first Saturday in a very very long time that I feel clear headed, not hung over and really feel like doing something today despite the rain. It feels great. All I need to do is try my hardest to take this feeling on board every time I feel like a drink. It's just that as the days go on this feeling gets to be a very distant memory which in turn makes the poison look better. I'll just keep being strong.
    Can anyone tell me if it gets easier if I manage to last a couple of months or is the cravings still intense?? I also keep beer in the fridge for the soul purpose to be able to look at it and want to be strong enough to say I don't want it, or is that a silly idea and maybe get rid of it??

      Absolutely! Get rid of it now! Why make it any harder than it has to be. And yes, it really really does get easier. I would have been the last person to believe that but it does.

          Yeah good advice from mama and good you took action matho61. I recognized myself in your first post in this thread. I call it "my trap" I get off the booze and then I feel so damn good I think I can have a little and it won't bother me. WRONG. I did this over and over for years. scary, but hopefully behind me.

            Hey Math, I am glad that you are sober, and enjoying a hangover, free day. Keep up the great work. For me, I did find that the cravings got less and less. The first month was the worst, the second tough, and then the third much better. I was taught, here by others, that urges are llike waves. You know they will come, some are larger than others, last longer or shorter, but they do pass. Knowing this, has given me great power over them. Urge surfing was key for me. All the best,

              Saturday Morning and no hangover.

              I love my mornings now.

              I love having white eyes in the morning, rather than looking in the mirror wondering whether other people notice.

              I love the tang of good coffee, and fresh cinnamon.

              I love the birds, and the light and walking out the door at 5:30 and smelling the air before everyone else is up.

              I'm inspired now. Off to bed. It's going to be a great sober weekend.

                  Hi Matho

                  Get rid of the beer - wine is my poison and if I had some in the house and in the wrong frame of mind - well I reckon I'd hit it. I'm early days like you and it is hard. I live just round the corner from you - same suburb. Small world hey!

                  Hang in there you are doing great.

                    Fantastic feeling isn't it?!! Waking up hangover free?!

                    The cravings (for me) are a lot better and it's only every so often I have to deal with them now.

                    Do get rid of the AL tho. That might just be your AL mind tricking you and setting youup for failure.

                    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.

                        Saturday Morning and no hangover.

                        G'day Matho, and a big warm welcome to you!

                        Great going on a hangover free day. Hope you'll choose for tomorrow to be hangover free too.
                        There's a great thread here if you haven't seen it yet, called the 'Toolbox' thread. It's full of tip's, info, idea's, and inspiration for those early day's off the turp's. You'll find it in the 'monthly abstinence' section. This is a great site, and full of good folk's, and useful info. You'll most likely see yourself in many other's stories. I know i did. You're not alone, as i'm sure you're finding out.
                        p.s. there are a quite a few other Aussies on a thread called 'Underoo's and friend's' in the General section, so feel free to drop in and say hello, if you think that might be useful support for you. You too Aussie nurse.

                        Best wishes, G.

                          Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

                            I think hangover free Saturday mornings are just the most fantastic times of the week!! I never stop feeling grateful for them as the weeks go on and I hope I never will. I just drove passed my local bar after walking the dog and the debris from last night was still visible together with abandoned cars etc, a visit to facebook then revels a mountain of suffering individuals who can hardly remember last night but have the embarassing photos plastered on the home page as a reminder..... yes these were the days my friends :H
