MM me and hubby are fine now. We talked when we got home and we both said we are sorry and agree to work on the way we get angry with each other. What a positive experience yesterday turned out to be!

Hello Guys!

You all sound like you're doing great. Jenny, it's good to hear you and your Hubby talked. I had some arguments in the past with my husband when I was drinking that he'd be mad about for days and I wouldn't even remember what I had said!! It was an awful feeling. Anyway, those days are over for me.

MM, Sharky good to hear you're both doing so great as well. We might all just make it to 30 days here!!

I have been reading Alan Carr's book (again) The Easy Way to Stop Drinking - and I think it's clicking a little better this time. I'm really starting to feel like there is no "sacrifice" to not drinking -- which is his whole point. If you don't feel like you're sacrificing anything to not drink you don't have cravings to drink. He thinks it's all mental, and I have to say his arguments are persuasive!

Hope you all have a great AF evening.

Hey Hey guys! Tomorrow I will wake up with 30 days of sobriety! Next goal is Feb 1st the 60 days then March 1st. Wow I wonder how good I will feel then! So who's next? Sharky, then ML? What day are you on MM? We are the little thread that could! Well off to catch up on some TV, so excited about Stephen Tyler and J Lo on American Idol! Don't like the show but love Stephen! Have a lovely night and a wonderful AF Thursday tomorrow, I love Thursdays, I get to hear from all my fav personalities!

Awesome. Love the "little thread that could". MyLife you and I are next for 30! Jeeny has paved the way and shown us the light!
I was just at a big work related event and the only person not drinking - managed to sneak out and need to get a good nights sleep.
See everyone tomorrow!

Good morning "little thread that could"!! I love that!

Congratulations again Jenny!! And looking forward to day 60 now -- so GREAT! Sharky, good job on being the "only man sober" last night!

Okay, yes Sharky and MM -- we're next -- my official day will be Jan 26 and I'm ready!! I have to say, I feel like my entire journey really began Nov 27 when I joined the site and I think I racked up over 30 days from that date through the end of December -- between that and the AF days I've had since Dec 27 I am feeling SO GOOD. This site has really just been so great.

Jenny, hope you enjoyed American Idol. I can never remember when it starts each year so I never really see it until sometime in Feb. I watched "The Departed" from Netflix last night. Violent but what a great plot. I also couldn't help but notice Lionardo (sp?) DiCaprio drank only cranberry juice when he went to a bar LOL! How my perspective has changed!

Have a wonderful AF day all!!

ML only a week to go from today! Yeah you!

Have a great AF day y'all! Like mcdonalds I'm lovin it!

Hey guys-
Checking in. Jenn - how is iy post 30 days! MYLife and MM hope you guys are doing well and on track.
Last night I got caught by all my peers NOT drinking. Had to come clean and explain that I wasn't drinking for 30 days as a total body cleansing. After the initial comments, peer pressure etc, almost everyone came up to me and commented that they need to do the same thing. I kinda got the feeling that they were secrectly admiring my efforts and wished they could to. I'm continually surprised by this and it is a great feeling. I will see them all this am - they will all be hungover as piss. Not me. I guarantee they will be saying that they wish they were in my shoes!

Onward with the AF journey!

[jennyneric]

That's awesome Sharky! Great story of the trials of the AF journey and the different way it can be looked at!
Honestly I want to drink today, I won't because I'm going for another thirty now but there seams to be a switch in my head that says "you did thirty, your fine, you can just drink every once in a while, you never were that bad, relax with you friends, have a drink" and with it being Friday, the hardest day of the week as we all know all to well, it is tempting to listen.

I will not be listening though! I will treat tonight like any other weekday night except I will watch 30 min more of TV than normal. I don't want to wake up hungover!

Have a great AF day guys! ML you out there? You are normally the first one to check in being on the East Coast and all.
Good Afternoon MM!
