    Word of Thanks

    Hi,
    Just to say that today I reach 30 days AF. I would suspect that its my longest time AF since I could legally drink.
    I am reluctant to say it but must be honest and say it has been quite easy so far. I just made the decision I'm not drinking and ploughed ahead. I have got on with life as normal really, the big change being that when Sat night comes round I haven't drank. I have been busy at work, the gym, running, walking, visiting family, watching DVDs, watching the World Cup. I have gone to the pub a couple of times and not drank which was OK.
    In terms of a Plan, I have list out the many negatives of me drinking together with the positives of being AF. Every couple of days I look at these, reflect and write down how I feel etc. Also I have been reading/posting (mainly reading) on MWO most days and have found it a great help - so thanks.
    I'm not looking too far into the future but am going to go target another 30 days AF straight off.

    Thanks again
    Ian.

    Nice one Ian - wow you did that quietly didn't you!! 30 days is great and you sound like you really have your head in the right place - the first time I did 30 days there is no way was I as organised or focused as you are and that is why I failed - just wanted sober time and never thought outside the box - and when 'temptation' or 'craving' came out of left field I was not equipped to deal with it.
    Good on you - us Dubliners kicking ass wha!!!!!!

        Hi Ian,
        Wow thats a fantastic acheievment. There is quite a few of us who have managed the 30 day mark. I really like knowing that we are all doing the same. My cravings are becoming much less and there are days when i have stopped thinking about alcohol ( I think). Life is good without it!

        I am follwing you with another 30 days. Think molly is too. Have a great sober day eveyone. x

          Well done Ian. Like Mario suggested don't fix what's not broken. Keep doing what it is your doing but keep an open mind if things DO need to be changed in the future.

          Many Blessings

            Well done Ian, I like the sound of your plan, 'just getting on with life' - enjoy and good luck with your journey
            Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

              Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

                          Good one Ian... I'm really happy that you are not doing a DI.. Rebus!!!
                          I am also finding the planning, writing down what I eat and the times I feel a bit weak are helping, I CANNOT believe how much more I get done now I'm not drinking, how much better I function on EVERY level and how much better I look (I'm sure from the inside as well as the outside)
                          I'm following your footsteps Inspector!!! Good Job

                            Congratulations Ian! I think you are wise to keep an eye on what is great about being sober and what is rotten about drinking, at least for people like us. Keep your eye out for old AL who seems to like to creep up on us and tell us we were "really not that bad" and can "easily stop again" and "can have just one." (hahahahaha) That's the cunning, baffling and powerful part of AL.

                            Well done!
