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

Good afternoon guys! Looks like you've gotten busy also this week!

Hope you're feeling better Jenn!! Sharky and MM, glad to hear you're both still doing so great also.

I am going to SLEEP tonight! It's cold and I'm exhausted from this week already. The great thing is I really will have a great sleep due to no AL in my system!

Have a great evening guys!

Still here busy as hell for a change. How are you Jenny i seen on a thread that you have cravings back today? hope the gym did the trick . you are going to have to surf these cravings when they come and they will come, just when you think you are back in control BANG that was my down fall last time, too cocky, didnt think i had to work at it . Was it Ktabs that said stopping drinking is easy staying stopped is the hard bit , for me that says it in a nut shell

Yeah my cravings are back. The gym was nice. I thought I would only do a little but I did the normal and I feel great! I am eating dinner then my shows are on at 8 and 9 so I will make it through the night. I'm afraid of this weekend though, it will be my 5 sober weekend I think. My husbands family has been calling on me the last day or so and I really resent that. They only call when they want something, you know, it's aggravating! They are the only people in the world I wish would go away. If a Jeanie gave me 3 wishes that would be enough to wish all three of them would leave. Sorry I'm bitching and rambling, LOL feels good to say it though and not be judged for it. Have a good one guys!

Hello Jenny! I'm here, sorry it's been the worst week for me...TGIF!!

I'm going out of town this weekend with my husband -- we have Monday off. So, hopefully that will be nice and not a trigger for me! Stay strong Jenn -- you are doing great!! I just wish someone would invent a magic pill that would make this whole problem "go away". I'm now getting to the point that I just resent having to deal with this all the time!! Okay, I vented.

MM -- I have heard that too. That the staying stopped is just as hard over time if not harder. You're doing well though and you have your past experience to draw on this time.

Have a great afternoon guys. Sharky???!!

Hey everyone!
Sorry to not post (been out of town on business - crazy busy). Back in sunny SoCal - almost 80F !!
Jenn - here you on the cravings... major right now. Just popped some L Glut. Dodged some major bullets the past few days and have a couple more this long weekend. Feels great to navigate through them. Hope you are feeling better.
MyLife ad Mads - hope you are doing well.
I'll definitely check in this weekend - DETERMINED to make at least 30!!!!
Happy Friday all!
Sharky

Me Sharky on the cravings and the 30! I'm so close I just feel so challenged this weekend for some reason! I just took 2 L-Glut and I hope that helps! What day are you on Sharky and MM? I think ML is 19? If it is 19 your going for the record now!

Jenn - tomorrow will be 21 days which will tie my longest. I'm trying not to think of the days - hard not to! Gotta get through this weekend with you guys. Let's hang tough - I'm feeling it big time for some reason (3 day weekend maybe, nice weather?) not sure.
Be strong all!
Sharky

We can do it! Were too close to stop now! 30 days here we come! Sharky ML is tying her longest last month today. . .good thoughts to her!

Made it! Watching TV with my son and getting sleepy. Rough couple hours but pulled through - whew... Glad you made it Jenny.
Check in with everyone tomorrow!

Morning guys! I went to a screening of a movie some local actors/directors put together last night. It was great as there was only popcorn and soda there and no way to get AL...completely kept my mind off it for the evening!!! The movie was not that great but I was THRILLED to be there! Lol!

Sharky, I hear you. I'm intent on making it to 30 this time. I purposely took my AF date off my signature (Dec 27) because I didn't want to get obsessed with the number of days and decided to focus on positives like total number of AF days in the month -- but it would be great to make it to 30 days in a row AF!!! I'm getting close too!

Happy to hear you both made it -- we can do this!! I'm off to the beach for the weekend and we don't get great internet service there so my posting will be spotty -- but we have lots of healthy activities planned that don't involve Alcohol. Have a great weekend!

Morning all!
Feel fantastic this morning - love this feeling. I was thinking how I would feel if I drank last night - angry, sad, disapointed, depressed, hopeless etc... Not worth it is it!

MyLife - We are heading to the beach as well today - after various sporting events. Usually a huge trigger - beers/wine on the beach. Feel confident though!

Jenny and Mads and all others - have a great AF rest of the weekend!

Quest for 3o continues!

Hey guys! Hope everyone is well. Check this out. My 30 is coming up and so I started thinking. . .I'll have a drink on day 31. . . .no I said I would stay AF through January. . . OK my 18 year anniversary is Feb 4 I'll have a drink then. . . well no that's day 44 almost 60. . . .OK I'll have a drink on day 61. . . no that is a Sunday. . .LOL I am making excuses not to drink. . . that's a change! Today my kids were looking for the remote and they found an empty bottle of voddie, my husband must have hidden it because I never would hid my drinking. I thought that was sweet of him because he, I guess didn't want me to be tempted, that being the only thing I ever drank. Anyway those are my notes for today.


Hope everyone has a great AF Saturday. It's nine O'Clock here so that means I'm in the safe zone till Monday which will be 4 weeks for me!
