Hi Kids
hope everyone is having a great day, boy did I struggle today, but no money = no wine, thank god, plus I ended up working the closing shift at one of my jobs, so that helped, but i think one of my big triggers is boredom, as I was only susposed to be working the sat/sun coming this week, I was going out of my mind with boredom, so by lunchtime today all I could think of was how nice it would be to have a couple if drinks (ie bottle of wine) tonight & watch a movie, I kept reminding myself that it was only a craving but it was strong, then I got a call from work to see if I could close tonight & after that i decided to change my bedroom around which really helped shift my focus away from the craving so I made it, one week sober, happy happy day.
hope everyone is going well, fight the good fight

Good morning all!

Day 9 for me and feeling pretty good. Witchy - boredom is definitely a trigger for me. Been keeping myself occupied with other things like reading, cooking, etc. Watching shows I was never able to stay up for before, and getting a goods night sleep! Yahoo - that's been at the top of my list as far as good things from going AF go!

Ha ha - mylife I'm with you - quitting on the 1st would have been a whole lot easier when counting - I'm running out of fingers! that's a good thing

Boredom is my number one trigger too. I have lots of extra time on my hands right now and am finding it hard to fill a day.

I'm still feeling sad, like I have lost the pep in my step. But at the same time, I am happy about my descion to go AF for 90 days. I am also excited to know how being AF for 90 days feels. Look at that , sad, happy and exicted all in one paragrah, and all in one day.

I was a disco queen....bring on the double bump!

I'll put my hand up on boredom being a big ol trigger. Well, not much happening down here in Mexico, which is a good thing. I've got a yoga instructor today at 2 giving me a private lesson.. I'm excited and nervous to get so much attention. Everyone sounds positive and disco fab! :h

Hi all-

Boredom sucks and totally agree as a major trigger. For me it also makes me lazy. My cure is excercise - that always snaps me out of the funk both physically and mentally. I find I'm suddenly much more proactive, positive menatlly and more willing and able to tackle the day the struggles. Never really done Yoga but hear such great things from a mental aspect that it will be worth adding to the excercise regime.

Nail on the head. Boredom was the trigger for me.
However, now I am running a lot it is great but I keep thinking a drink would be a great reward

I do keep my drinking thoughts at bay most of the time but this is my bad time (5 25) But with the help of Baclofen I seem to be able to strengthen my resolve,

Hi everybody, just a quick hello and to let you know I'm still around. I'm absolutely worn out - emotionally and physically. Really busy at work - boss is 8 months preggers and we are so low on staff that we are barely staying open, so I am home and head nodding with exhaustion, needless to say will be wide awake at midnight! Hope you're all doing well and will be round in the morning hopefully, on lates tomorrow

Morning January jumpers, hope all are doing well
I was just thinking about you Molly before I got online, hope you are doing as well as you can, look after yourself. :l
Choice, hows the weather in Mexico, I dont think your missing much here in NZ, so far out of the last 8 or so days I think we have had one that was sunny, the rest have been very overcast & gray
yesterday was funny, even with all those cravings, i dont think I would have caved even if i could have gone & bought wine, it was just that it was so constant, but I was awear that it was just a craving but last night after i logged of I was lying in bed in the dark, it was warm & cosy, & i realised I had a huge smile on my face, I couldnt stop smiling, I was happy & peacefull, I went to sleep smilling & woke up with a smile on my face. Sober rocks.
Anyway kids, I will check in later
stay strong

Hi jumpers,
I agree sharky exercise is key in my routine now to keep me positive and moving forward. The yoga went well, a very long deep relaxation time at the end that I at first felt was kinda a waste of time... but once I got into it I think I understood why it's important. The weather here in Mexico was actually kind of chilly today Witchy. I'm at a high altitude and in the middle of the country so it can get pretty cold here during the winter. I have been missing the lushness of New Zealand.. it's really dusty here. Also I can't believe I left when summer was just starting after waiting for it all winter Ah well, I don't regret my decision. Well, hello to everyone else.. and happy sober day whatever your on. :h:l
