    Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

    Day 8 AL Free. I feel so happy and proud of myself.
    And I know I will make tomorrow and next day and the next and so on. Because I do not drink AL anymore. No Thank you. I will stick to my lemon bitters from now on.

    Of to work I go today without being hungover. I work in the health care profession so I should set a example not that anyone knew, well as fas as I know. But at least I know I am sober today and thats all that counts in my life.

    Someone join me today being AL Free Please!! Its nice to do things with friends. :l

    Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

    :yougo: Go Mia! :yougo:

    I just love those little cheerleaders! They really say it all...congrats.

    It is great to feel great isn't it? I'm on day 12 for the 1st. time in over 10 yrs. One day the light just came on and I said I'm done.
    Having spent $20. per day on 2 bottles of wine, I saved over $240. already. I was drinking a mortgage payment every month!
    That's just ridiculous.

    choose the GOOD     ones!

      That's wonderful to read! I'm just finishing day 2 (I work in health care too) and I love reading posts like this.

      Barbara, the money I spent makes me absolutely cringe when I think about it...ugh.

        Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

        Great job all everyone! Maybe we should start a healthcare workers thread. I too am in healthcare and often see what happens to the body when someone's liver Is failing. Not to mention having two friends die from liver failure. How stupid am I to ignore it? Not quite to AL free but closer than I thought yesterday. And feel so much better just being sober!

          Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

          Hi everyone! Congratulations on your eight days! I am at the close of Day 1 and feeling very relieved that I made it through the day without drinking. I stuck to the plan I made for myself for the day and it worked! I am relaxing now with some chamomile honey tea and catching up here before I head off to Bedfordshire, where I plan to have the first full night's sleep in a long time and not wake up hung over. I can't wait for tomorrow morning but I will reveal in my sober evening as well. PS, while I'm not in health care directly, I am in the alternative natural health world as a retailer and sell supplements to folks with all sorts of health problems. A liver detox kit is one of our best sellers yet I've never done one myself! I am taking Milk Thistle though to help mend my liver.
          Well done everyone!

            You should be proud of yourself, Mia. If getting 8 days were easy there wouldn't be addicts. Big hugs to evryone. I'm proud of you all and myself as well.

                Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

                Hi Everyone, witching hour is here, Friday night, so here I am! Thanks everyone for replying.
                Spunky I have also seen two friends of mine die of liver failure due to AL. Not pretty.
                BlondeAF way to go!!!. Thats fantastic. When you wake up in the morning with no hangover you will never want to drink again. Its such a wonderful feeling to start the day with a clear head. I went to a health care shop today and bought some Milk Thistle to help my poor little liver that has had to work so hard over the last 20 years, I hope its alright.

                Barbara the money I have spent on AL, I probably could of cut my mortgage in half by now!

                Anyway sweet dreams everyone. I have my two step children here tonight so I have to go play mum. At least I will remember the night and when they climb into my bed in the morning around 5.00 am yikes, at least I can smile and laugh with them instead of pretending that I feel great when all I really want to do is throw up!!

                On to Day 9 AL xxxxxxxxx

                  Day 8 for me and I feel Great!

                  Hi Mia! You are so right...I feel wonderful this morning and glad to be on DAY 2! Even though I had a few cups of calming herbal tea last night...I stayed up a bit later than I wanted to reading up on some gardening books (I was on MWO until about 10PM and then another 1 hour so reading whille hubby was watching the basketball playoffs). We had also eaten dinner later than I had hoped (yummy organic roasted chicken, asparagus & salad!) but I still had a heck of a time falling asleep. I guess because I am used to passing out on the wine only to wake up at 3AM and STAY UP some nights. I did have to get up once (thanks to the diruretic properties of good old asparagus!) but then I was able to fall right back asleep. Tonight I hope I can get to bed earlier and fall asleep a bit easier. But it was such a treat to wake up and not think "oh crap, I'm hung over again...why did I do that to myself???" So even though I am not as rested as I would have liked I am still headache free with a clear, mind. I am proud of myself...and all of you guys too! Have a wonderful day! Way to go Mia and thank you for your kind words

                    Fantastic Mia, feels great, doesn't it. You know what I love; it's lying in bed chatting with hubby while he's getting dressed (I get up when the coffee's ready) and being wide awake and happy. Usually, I am burrowed under the covers trying to avoid the light and conversation, etc.

                    You are so inspiring with all your enthusiasm. Keep at it; I'm right behind you...

                      I love that advice - the words said between our own ears are the ones we hear the loudest. So very true!

                      Way to go Mia! :wd:

                      I'm on day 8 and I feel great too!

                        One of my "hang-ups" on going AF was that I was using alcohol to HELP me fall asleep, aka pass out. I was afraid that I had forgotten just how to naturally fall asleep - like it was a skill that I would need to learn again. Unfounded fear - I've had no trouble falling asleep and you're right - it is a treat to wake up not feeling like crap or guilty!
                        ODAT!

                          Tipps, BlondeAD and Determination I am so proud of all of us!! It is the simple things in life that are the most beautiful, but with that poison in our bodies we forget just how bloody good they are. Life, I love it being sober I had just forgotten how good it can be!!! xxx

                            Day 2 is coming to a close for me and I'm feeling really good about it. I did have those old cravings moving in around cocktail hour and even looked at the liquor store on the way home saying to myself...should I? NO, KEEP WALKING. You made an agreement for 30 days and you are going to stick with it. And so I kept walking and stuck it out. Had dinner early and have kept busy and drank fizzy water. Now off to tend my yard and then curl up with a book and cup of tea. The book is on gardening, my new found passion in life. Enjoy your AF evening Mia and everyone else!
