    Thanks Johnny!!
    I was just, well, determined to get back to the way I was.. happy and AF (for the most part) - now I plan on staying abstinent for as long as possible.. my son is fine.. there's a few toy sales on in Syd at the moment, so I treated him to some new toys! He is very happy and doing well

      That's great to hear Katie. Both about your sobriety and your son!!

      It looks like you've got a better support system now and have got the tools to deal with your ex.

      YOu're a real star and a success story. After the outcome of the court a couple of weeks ago I really wondered how you were going to manage to cope with things. You're an amazing woman Katie. Respect!!

      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.

        You are making me blush.. :H
        I'm not quite a "success" story yet.. but I am going to keep on as I am and keep vigilant when it comes to AL.. i know that I am so much happier without it in my life..

          You are a success story Katie. Seriously. Just along having pulled yourself up through such a tough time within a short period of time. Just getting on with the job. We can all learn a lot from you.

          I could have easily hidden in a bottle for the next couple of years had I gone through your experiences.

          WEll, well done.

            Happy 4th July to all in the US.

            Congratualations Solitaire and Woywoyboy on your huge achievement of 30 days.

            Katie, well done on your AF outing. I too was out for a meal last night and a trip to the pub both sans alcohol. I kept remining myself to feel grateful that I was fully there in the moment.

            Up early this morning walked the dogs and had a lovely read of the papers. Much better way to start the day than hungover.

            Enjoy the rest of Sunday everyone.

                Wow so much action on this thread this morning! I know thats a GOOD thing!

                Thank you for the well wishes to us Americans, LOL. Oh man, my sunny Florida is currently being drenched with Rain and Rain, so not that exciting 4th or July here! We have had 4 straight days, and it comes down in buckets. Not even sure if they will do fireworks in the rain.

                Oh well, I woke up sober, so that makes me happy. Had a very very SCARY dream, in which I was drunk and woke up in a blackout only to find that everyone hated me, My bosses fired me and nobody would even talk or look at me! It seemed very REAL. I was so happy to WAKE UP!

                Johnny, that must have been AMAZING to be at the FOOTBALL Game, LOL. We watch it on the tv of course, and it looks like fun and excitement! My team from pick from work Uruguay won as you know, but in my heart I was wishing for Ghanna! WHat handsome boys they were too!!

                PANNO you are exact same day as me day 7... so you better keep it up Lady. Firefox day 7 too, awesome!

                Morning Mama Katie, RUstop, Oh gosh, ALL OF MY DEAR FRIENDS HERE.

                Girly, sounds like your struggling. Sending you some strength and post alot today if you need to.

                Big hugs to everyone,

                Overit
                I LOVE MY SEROTONIN AND BOOZE SCREWS IT UP!!!!!

                  Hi everyone, and a happy 4th July to all of our American friends.

                  I can't imagine how much you must have enjoyed the game yesterday Johnny. If ever there was a guy who deserved a just reward after your efforts on Friday it's you. 4-0 what a result, Spain didn't look very good against Paraguay last night either so I think Germany might make the final. Germany v Holland? (that would be a final to savour).

                  I hope this finds you all well, I was out last night and managed OK, social events are not nearly as hard as when I get blind-sided by the thirst when I least expect it. Today I played squash with a friend and on the way home I just got the urge. I've got a gig tonight and all of a sudden the idea of being around people is scary. I need to get an hours sleep and have some lunch and I should be cool. No booze in the house anymore (vital) otherwise I'd be in the shit.

                  Day 22, unexpectedly tough one, should get better.

                  One Day at a Time Guys.

                  Peace!

                    Hey everyone, Johnny, I have given up booze a few times now and I remember the 3 week thing - it's very real, absolute mad longings for a drink, it goes like in no time but it happened to me each time ( incidentally it happened to me at 3 months also!) Important not to let yourself get hungry or thirsty, somehow both allow the thoughts into your head.
                    Panno, reading back over the thread you asked how my hol went - in a word 'eyeopening'! I encountered some demons - luckily not AL ones but when I came home I went to Doc for AD's I reckon I'm not as strong as I liked to think I am.
                    JohnnyH, I was mentally waving at you on the screen while I was watching the match - did you have good seats? The stadium is huge isn't it!
                    Hey Rustop, Firefox, KatieB - you are doing fantastically, well done!
                    Girly, keep in touch, it gets easier and we are all here for you, just stay off the grog - it is the enemy, nothing else.
