Today got careers interview, then I am off to buy a few bits we need, food, new skate laces,sort out hair appt and meet a friend from London who's coming over for lunch.

Anyway good af day all to come - feeling good - it's day 9 here now and I am feeling much perkier af.

Hi bear73
Well done, its good to keep busy, I'm on day 9 too, how I have managed so far, is trying to get back into the things I used to enjoy, yesterday I was gardening, and because it was raining here in OZ today, I did some sewing.
Hope you have a nice lunch with your friend.

Good Afternoon All,

I had a very busy week, we had a lot of company come in from out of town, was a lot of fun with some frustrations. Our pet bird that my daughter raised from a baby got stepped on and died. She like to be around you when you were outside and would just sit by your feet or in your lap. We should have put her in a cage for the weekend when we had even more family members come, but we did not and now she is gone - very sad. I made it through the week though without no desire to drink, which was really nice, I'm on day 78 today, feels great. The habit part of drinking is pretty much gone, every now and again I get the desire for a glass of wine, but with each passing day that is AF it gets a little more easy. Rainy her for the next couple of days, will give me the chance to get caught up on things around the house and get the kids ready for school. Hard to believe school starts back up next week, the summer flew by, I also can't believe I made it through the summer without alcohol. Hope everyone is doing well and has a good AF day.

Hi all,
My first post on an ODAT thread was yesterday. I've been posting under mods for quite some time, but I'm gradually realizing that I would rather not be drinking, so here I am. I didn't drink yesterday, definitely won't today, I guess that makes this day 2 for me. I bumped up my story (My Own Path) mostly for my own reality check, but you can read it there if you would like more background on me. I mostly haven't been drinking too much, but I'm just tired of thinking about drinking.

Hello all,

Af Monday for me after a weekend of some not so great choices. My calendar clearly shows me that I am making progress, so trying to not be too discouraged. Just jump right back into it! Lots of water for me today, and early to bed. Hope you all have a wonderful evening, and best wishes for your goals!
