Been a few days since I've checked in but a lovely rainy day here. Too busy with work for my mind to wander. Looking forward to the weekend and I hope everyone is doing well too. Day 20 for me.

Well done rebirth and woywoy boy! Keep going! Stay strong.

I am day 1 today. Was day 25 yesterday and then just hit a wall. It was a chaotic day yesterday and it was like all obstacles turned up at once. One thing after another went wrong and I didn't have any strength left. It was like some sort of defeat where I had to wave the white flag...Anyway I'm not feeling too bad today. It was "only" one bottle of wine, a month ago it would have been 2+ to help me cope with the day I had.

I am starting again afresh. Hope everyones having a great day

Hi Gertrude ,This alcohol it is an evil foe. Well done on looking at the positive i.e. it was only one bottle not two. Glad you posted and just get back on your horse and think of all the AF days under your belt. I bet your liver is pleased. Liz x:h

Hi gertrude. You have done amazingly well and to go back on the wagon after your slip is commendable. I dont think I could do that..if i slip it would take me months to get my willpower back up and start again. I have a terrible terrible addiction for AL. Stay with us. xx

Anon - thanks, yes my liver felt like it was just starting to recover, I was feeling healthier - it took a few weeks!

Rebirth - I'm still in a bit of a panic, better than yesterday though. Yes, the thought has come into my head a few times today to get some more wine but I will not let it beat me! It has taken me years to do something about my drinking and even though I'm day 1 again, I feel like I'm on the right track this time.

It is hard to admit that I can only cope with life up to a certain point, then BAM I convince myself I can't go any further till I have a drink. It is evil indeed!

Stay strong Girl. Very proud of you. YOu're doing well.. I'm sure you'll start feeling stronger in a couple of days. but take it OMAT as you said on the other thread. No use thinking about tomorrow. Just stick it out today

Hi Mama! Johnny! Girly! Rebirth, Gertrude, Anon, and Woywoyboy!

Whew, is that everyone? Girly, I am very proud of your for taking the Antabuse. I think you made a very smart decision for you and your family. It was the right thing to do even if it doesnt feel like it.

Hey Mama, how are you doing? Having a good week? Mine is just So So. Ill get there.
Always nice to hear from Johhny. I miss him when he goes away!

For you guys who are struggling, I hear ya. Just dont give up. Read Johnnys signature. Really read it, it will give you hope.

Its a new day (well here its morning). Keep doing your best!

Hi ODAT'ers,

Been meaning to check in for a while now, great to see everyone is doing so well! My travel schedule for work has been ridulucous so I haven't had a lot of free time, but maybe that's a good thing. Still seems like I'm always getting ahead of myself in thinking about the future but I try to remind myself the future comes a day at a time... like this thread.

Have a great day everyone and let's treat ourselves to something special at the end of it - I'm thinking mint chocolate chip ice-cream but feel free to go with your own flavor ;-)

Good morning!

I have a buuusy day! I am feeling so much better now it has been a few days since coming off my last 4 day binge.

What is terrible is having to put the recycling out this morning. I was thinking, "did I really drink all of that?" OMG! Not to mention that terrible clanking sound.

I certainly DO NOT MISS THOSE DAYS AT ALL! I remember the internal embarrassment of having to put out empties in the old days. eeesh!

Well must run! Have a great day everyone!

heh, I can relate - I was the only house in my neighborhood with THREE recycling bins. The worst was they come at like 7am, what a loud, depressing wakeup call. It was enough to make me switch to cans. Funny the lengths we'll go to...

Good Morning All,

Well was, until I was paying my bills and found out my lovely daughter just cost me 300.00 dollars because she went over her texting limit - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I am so angry I don't know what to do, she claims she did not know her friend did not have verizon, which we have verizon to verizon unlimited. Unbelievable, I want to throw up. I know I have to let my husband know and that is not going to be pretty, so I am praying I stay strong tonight or maybe I won't tell him, what should I do?

18 days today and feeling great about it, can not let this bring me down. Sorry for the rambling, but have to tell someone.
