    ODAT Monday 12th July 2010

    Hey everyone!

    Day 24 for me today.. I cannot believe it! I am so happy.. this is the longest i've gone without AL since this time last year, when i went 3 months.. I want to achieve that, and more, this time round!
    I plan on giving up cigs this week too.. i feel ready! Had a good day at work, my son is watching "Thomas the tank engine" DVD whilst I am making dinner.. I hope everyone has a fab AF Monday!!

    Well done KatieB.

    I'm picking myself up, dusting myself off and starting all over again.

    I haven't been doing too badly, until yesterday.

      Hey guys, Left a post in the general section. I'm taking a leave of absence for a while.

      Just wanted to thank you guys particularly as well for being there for me when I needed you.

      Luv you all.

      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.

          Hi Everyone....Katie you are seriously powering along. Giving up smoking as well certainly indicates that you are feeling super strong. GOOD FOR YOU! I gave up smoking a few years back and I have to say you will feel AMAZING when you finally kick that bad habit too!

          Day 16 for me and so far I seem to be hiking along at a steady pace.

          Hope you all have a great Monday!

            I hit 3 months AF today!! Yay!
            Strangely I don't think I feel much different, except that there are no hangovers, no shame, no guilt, no lying, no hiding things, no avoiding people. It's great.
            Hubby tells me I seem alot happier and I gueaa I am. Thank you all for all the support and advice and for just being here.
            Love yous all!

              Good morning everyone

              Tant, hugh congratulations. 3 months is amazing, you should be so proud of yourself. Everyone else seems to be doing good as well. In our own way we will all get there, ODAT.

                Morning to all those in the Northern Hemishere and evening to those in the southern
                Fantastico Tangtangra for 3 months !!! Real stoked for you

                Everyone does seem to be forging ahead ODAT - including me day 23 today( should be day 27 but had that slip on day 5)
                Katie - we must be working in tandem cos I am also thinking of giving up the cigs this week sometime - I've been smoking a lot lately... just a little nervous about it but really want to do it because it is holding me back from total health... we can maybe start together on that one!!
                Have a great day and night all
                Take care

                    Morning everyone,

                    Monday morning= My day off...nice! Its 10am and I've just got up and am having Breakfast in bed whilst checking in with you guys, If only all mondays could be like this!
                    Hope you all had a great AF weekend in the sun. Everyone seems to be starting the Week in good spirits.
                    Well done Tant, thats amazing. 3 months to me seems like such a long long way off but I'm determined to get there like you.
                    Had a great day yesterday involving 2 BBQ's, a lot of laughter and no AL for me.
                    I was really worried about being around drinkers, but once I was into the swing of it I didn't think about the fact I wasn't drinking which feels like a bit of a miracle right now.
                    One of my triggers is that when I'm feeling really good about something I like to 'Celebrate' that feeling with a bottle of wine....Not today.
                    Somethings shifted in me and it feels good. I now know I can still be the 'funny' one without the AL and that feels so amazing, I've spent along time thinking that AL boosts my personality which was bollocks. Confidence is the key.
                    Heres to a great week ahead for us all, Happy Monday everyone, Have a fab AF day!!
                    xx

                      Tant, 3 months is absolutely super!! Well done - and don't let down your guard - 3 months I reckon complacency can creep in - but it is a WONDERFUL achievement, keep going - I know I feel so much happier without the booze and everyone around me is too!
                      Well done

                          Hello and Good morning/evening everyone. Cannot imagine how great it must be to reach 3 months AF Well done Tant. Patrice and Katie I managed to give up cigarettes it took me lots of attempts but do not even think about them now--and I am able to run faster than anyone in my age group these days.
                          Ieel positive today as i am off to visit my daughter for 5 days where there will not even be the slightest temptation to drink. Back on Friday.
