Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

I have been lurking and reading this thread full of inspiration. I am back from a long hiatus of indulging in too much wine almost every night. Last year I had over 4 months of sobriety that I once again threw away!

I am here beginning Day 1. I stopped smoking a week ago and intend to stop drinking today.

I am done, I cannot afford it anymore, financially, physically or mentally.

Hope you dont mind me joining you.

thanks flyaway and everyone. I have tried before-I just needed something else to get me started. It's Sunday and the antabuse leaves me a little tired, but better than being hungover. I think I'm going to take my daughter to the water park today as it is so flippin hot out here! I live in CO.
Yeah, I think she notices the change already as I am still present to put her to bed rather than being half gone on a bottle of wine! Everyone have a lovely day, I'll check in later

Mstall, as for the financial part, I have been putting aside half of the money I would have spent on alcohol that day into a jar-like someone else mentioned they did on this site. I'm excited to see that money grow rather than being drank by me haha!

I hope everything is okay with her. I just went back and read on the 21st where she was going out with drinking friends and was going to tell them that she's laying off AL. Good or bad, drinking or not, I hope she comes back and checks in.

Enough--Fantastic! 15 days down!

Mstall--So happy to see you here! I threw away 6 months sobriety last year. Funny how similar we all are.

Akazia--How great is it that your daughter can tell a difference already? Have fun at the water park. I'm sure she'll love it!

Hi all, still here. I posted on Sat but obviously closed the ipad too quickly.

Anyway, may thx Enough and Fly ...

Got to day 14 and then had a couple of beers, really not my style but several triggers compounded. Still did not hit the vino ... That half bottle of white is still untouched in the fridge.

My hubby came back last night and for the past 2 days the heat is on, the water pressure is off so i've ben busy trying to save my lawn with a hose.

Quick update, my closest friend did not bat an eyelid when i told her i am not drinking. Friday was hard ... Lunch, afternoon, evening ... I kept feeeling like having a drink. Oh ... Tasted the rose in my mounth a few times, crazy. But i took the dog out in the evening the watered the lawn.

I'll post some more tomorrow.

Love you guys

Mstall--Welcome back. I did the same, and have just returned. I'm on Day 9, which is one day longer than last time. Here's a rope to grab for our boat....!:l

Shue--Unrelated to AL, but I've been wondering: how the heck does a girl walks in those Jimmy Choo's anyway? Carefully, I'm sure--but really??

Made it through day 18. I can't believe how much better I feel, and even though I'm eating more sweets to get through the rough patches I've lost 7 lbs. I have 10 days until I move, the panic is setting in that I won't get everything done. The one thing I know for sure is that if I was still drinking wine nothing would be getting done.

Shue--:yougo::yougo::yougo: Glad that you're still here! It's great that you were able to tell your friend and have her support. Way to go on bypassing the wine! You rock!

Boozer--Gotta have a plan! Stay strong tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes for strength!

Juja--Yippee! One day longer than the last time! You're making progress every day.

Queenbug--I feel the same way. I'm okay with my eating being a little off now. One thing at a time.

Crazy Cat--Way to go on day 18 and 7 pounds lost!:kudos:

Hey everyone, got home. It's funny I stopped by the store on the way home and found myself having crazy fruit cravings. Maybe because I don't like sweet stuff-not sure, but I was really wanting some papaya and plums lol. So here I am with a huge bag of fruit! All the sweeter kinds mind you-mangos, plums, peaches-you name it I have it right now. Thank god it's summer and the fruit I want is in season-apples just won't cut it for me right now!
Hope everyone has a lovely night...I may be back as it is so darn hot out and my a/c is broken so I am up kind of late even with the antabuse telling me to sleep!

Akazia--Oh no! Broken air conditioning is not good this time of year! Hope you can sleep. I have a hard time sleeping if I'm too warm. By the way, I'd say fruit for booze is a pretty great trade!
