    I did it...

    ... I made it through Friday completely af!!

    It wasn't easy but I did it. I knew that yesterday was going to be tough, what with the whole: "Yay I lived through another work week without losing my marbles! Why, I think I should have myself a drink (or 6)" mindset. Instead I went home, chit chatted with the Other Half for a bit, took the dogs out to play, had dinner, then we watched a movie and after that it was time for bed.

    It was so nice today to wake up with a clear mind and feeling refreshed. On top of that, the weather is gorgeous today and I've got a very busy day planned so I'm hoping that keeps my mind busy. Today might be a bit tough as well but if I made it through a Friday then I'm sure I can make it through today as well.

    Thanks for listening (reading) the reflections of a very contented artsy.

        Great job, Artsy! Capture a very vivid memory of how well you feel this morning and recall it when those inner voices come back to haunt you... AF is the best feeling in the world!!

          :yougo: Great job Artsy! Truly "one day at a time" spirit. I like what Sheri said - sober mornings are so much better than drunken evenings ever were.

          Have a fabulous unhung and undrunk day.

            Congratulations! Isn't it great? Funny, but not that long ago, I would never have entertained the thought of being af on a Friday! Especially a payday Friday! Here I am though. Like Paguy said, need to capture this moment and hold onto it. When AL comes calling it is sometimes very difficult to remember. I am hoping to recondition my brain? Anyway, congratulations and many more to come your way!

                  Nothing finer than a sober Saturday morning, except maybe a sober Sunday morning. Well done on getting though Friday. Here's to a glorious weekend.

                            Hi and welcome,

                            You have come to a great place to get the advice and support you need to stay AF, it's a tough road but so utterly lifechanging to get out of the grip of the addiction.

                            Good luck

                            Enjoy today - there will be no other one quite like it....

                              :thanks: for the support everyone!

                              Today was filled with a lot of activity so I've been able to keep my mind busy and off the al. Tonight the Other Half and I are just relaxing and I'm looking forward to another sober sleep and Sunday morning.

                              I hope everyone else is enjoying the same... :thumbs:
