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

I'm really not sure if I'm just over the drinking thing or if it's the L-Glut but I can't believe I would just be over it so quickly though that would be cool. I think there is something to this pill, at least I hope there is. Nite all, hoping you all have a great AF night. . .I know I did =)

Good morning guys -- okay it's almost luch time here...but anyway!!

I started with the L-Glut yesterday Sharky. I am not sure if it's working but to me it's another tool in the tool kit -- I'll throw everything at this! Been an AF week for me too so far, so let's keep it that way!

Jenn, I'm off after today for 4 days. Can't wait! We're headed to the beach where it's still chilly, but at least beautiful and relaxing! Have a great AF New Years both of you. !!

Just wondering

From what I have read about this site, I can honestly state that you have a wonderful program that deserves accolades. And if you are saving lives by keeping people sober, I have great respect for you. I have some doubts however, about the approach and the longevity of the recovery from this killer disease. Do you provide any longitudinal information at all? I know many, many people who do not get nor want to get AA, due to the the higher power component, or the group meetings or what ever the reason. However, the AA program does work in what ever format one works it. Just wondering if you have any info to share about how My Way Out works over a long period of time and helps people stay sober, while staying sane, off their substance of choice. Thanks so much in advance.

Hello Lyla and Welcome,

You probably would want to post your question under "General Discussion" to get more response to your question. I'm fairly new here, as well, so don't know all the ropes, but read the book and thought I'd give this site a try. I don't know if there is data, to tell you the truth! I think similar to AA there is a lack of data due to anonymity. But I do know that many of the people posting here also attend AA and are just using this site as another tool in their journey to sobriety.

Good luck with your journey!

Hey guys, today is day 9 and I crumble on 10 or 11 everytime. . .starting to get nervous. . . . added problem, new years eve is day 11. I have taken my l-glut tonight but my mind is still going there, I don't want a drink, I don't want the way it makes me feel now or the next day. I want to honor my choice not to drink. Let see if I can do that. How are y'all?

Hi Jenny! Just saw this. Try telling yourself you just want to break this record and then take it from there...I know it's hard but I know you can do it!!!

Hey guys-
Day 5 - going strong. Got the L-Glut. Can't really tell yet on effects. Went to a therapist for the first time ever and think it will help. Gives me more accountability. More determined than ever. Jenn - agree on the day 10 and 11. Seems like that is when our confidence is up and we think it will be ok. Lets stay strong on this and we can all make it through New Years!
Best to everyone.

Hello guys,
Finishing Day 5 here too. Jenny, for me day 6 used to be the hard day. Then I just pushed past it and now day 6 doesn't seem so bad. For me, I think its going to be around day 20...then I start thinking "never again?" And other thoughts like that.
I'm still taking L-Glut too. Let's be complementing each other on one year sober this time next year...!! I know we can do this!
Sharky, glad you're talking to someone. That really helped me to accept the reality of this problem.
Have a great AF evening!

I know right! I want to be one year sober like Chillgirl! I don't know if I could ever do that! I have a therapist appt tomorrow at 11:30 then to get my house in order so that all the kids can destroy it all night! I'm again having a hard time tonight but I am double dosing the L-Glut and every time I want to go to the liquor store I tell myself "OK well go but in a little while not right now" I figure that will get me through tonight anyway. Oh the games we play.

Good morning!
Jenny good job on hanging in there! I think there will be easier days ahead for us so I just try to get through the bad ones hoping tomorrow will be better!
I woke up with a cold this morning so that will make not drinking much eadier for me tonight!

Have a great day. I'm excited to hear about your appt with the counselor.

Good Morning! No work for me today. . . well at least not the kind you get paid for! I made it through last night, and it was good, today I get to tell my counselor that I am on my 11th day AF. Yeah me! Well there will be cleaning and shopping here today. I think I will start a new thread tomorrow morning or you or Sharky whoever gets here first! Y'all have a great day! You are in my thoughts! I think I will go to yoga at the gym tomorrow at 11 that will be a great way to start the new year!

Hey guys-
Happy New Years Eve day! Feeling fantastic. Can't tell if the L-Glut has any effect but will keep on it. Jenn and MyLife - love the new thread idea and I'm sure we can get others to join. I have a feeling there will be lot's of New Years resolutions. Off work as well. Time to start cleaning up the Xmas items. Good to keep busy. Let's all hang in there tonight - alot of temptation. Let's do it!:goodjob:
