I'm starting my rest of the year sober challange today!

Hi Guys! Sorry, I had the WORST day today! The only (and the best) good thing about it was that I did not drink. Slammed at work and issues with my husband at home. Just an all around bad day. Hope it will be over soon! Sorry I didn't get a chance to log in earlier. Probably won't have much chance tomorrow either. Can't wait for this week to be over!! Send me sober wishes! Right now I'm AF and glad that at least I'm not facing all this hung over.

Jenny, Sharky, glad to hear you're both doing great. I'm so happy for us to be on this sober journey together!

Yes, I look forward to a great sleep tonight -- something I would not have if I were drinking -- and feeling strong and hangover free when I wake up tomorrow. I wish the same for all my friends here.

I don't know about you but I really enjoy hearing from the group. I can usually check in when I'm in my office - it is a challenge when traveling which I do a bit. Enjoy sharing our common goal and the journey!

MyLife, Struggles - you around?

Jen - hard to know where to post sometimes - so many threads - that are kind of redundant.

Hi Guys,

Just checking in to say hello from work! I'm traveling tomorrow for work so will try to post in the evening rather than go to the hotel bar for a glass of vino!

Hope everyone is having a great day. I feel much better today and just LOVE my sleep now.

Jenn, Chooch, Sharky I really look forward to hearing form you guys each day! Glad to hear you're all well and AF.

Well I am doing well tonight but in thinking over the last two weeks I have found that the nights I am AF all I'm doing is being AF. I don't watch TV I don't go to the gym I don't go anything except the necessary things like fix dinner and put the kids to bed then I go to sleep. It seams to take all my energy to just BE AL free. Does that stop at some point to do I have to stop it? Anyway I'm here AF and looking forward to sleep.

Hi Guys. Good morning! Jen, I agree it seems to take lots of energy to be AL free, but it's so worth it. I'm sure after awhile it won't seem like so much time and energy are being spent on this journey, it will just be second nature and we'll just be people who "don't drink".

Hang in there and have a great day all!

That would be nice. I figure I will get through christmas and then I will force myself out into society again. I am so tired this morning even though I went to bed at 8 and slept great, only woke up once and went right back to sleep. Have a great day everyone one and I'll have another great AF night also!

Jen, you are echoing what my thoughts have been, i.e. jeesh I'm having to think about not drinking ALL the time. I have to believe after reading about others' experiences that this definitely changes. Read posts by Guitarista, Chill, Doggygirl, Techie, Dewdrop (the list goes on)....they're definitely not white knuckling it any more. And, I have to say I can feel the change for myself personally already. The grip is lessening. I think there's a saying in AA something to the effect of you've got to hold on until you can let go. I think it will get comfortable and that eventually it will not consume our thoughts.

ML, Sharky and anyone else stopping by today,

Have a wonderful AA day,
Choochie
