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

Go for it, mya!

Ashamed to admit I didn't make it yesterday.:crap: Something needs to give.

Read the toolbox from 3-5 a.m. this morning, looking for that aha moment. Saw lots of great info, but nothing stuck.

I'm going to eat lots of fruits/vegetables today, drink lots of water, and rest. Will not beat myself up, however.

Don't give up on me, okay?

Juja,

Don't worry - no one here will give up on you because we all are in this together. If you are used to drinking every single day then any break you can manage is a victory!

I'm back after a 6-month absence and I'm ready to try again! Today is day 7 for me and I'm definitely taking it 1 day at a time. Every day AF for me will be a victory. Looks like a lot on this thread are struggling - I believe there is power in numbers - let's all be there for each other! It's a new year and for a lot, a new start - happy new year to all of you and here's hoping we all achieve our goals no matter how small or big they may seem!

Hi All!!! I'm back and I've missed everyone! Thank you Juja for pointing me to this thread! I haven't had time to read everyone's posts but I will try to catch up later. I'm on AF Day 7 and was honestly so thankful this morning to not wake up with a hangover and being mad at myself! I hope I can at least get 30 days under my belt. I have been learning alot through prayer and counseling and will try to share as I go along. It's not easy (sometimes the truth hurts!) but I do feel better.

Love to all and have a great Sober Sunday!!!!

Thanks, Jolie. In my family, if you didn't do what you were supposed to do, you were abandoned/frozen out/shunned, so I always have fear inside. Thanks for the affirmation.:l

You're right, too, every Af day is a victory, even if it isn't a string of days.

Hello, dear winesucks. Nice to see you, my friend!

Hello Mya and others,

Yes a 90 day goal is welcome in my world. 2011 was a sober year for the most part, had great momentum, then the second half had too many problems and I buckled big time. Need to get back on track and the dreaded day one starts tomorrow. Not looking forward to the sleepless first week and the anxiety but definitely looking forward to feeling free and taking my life back. Hope everyone is moving forward with their goals! Take care everyone.

Hello to all!
Juja... Never feel to can not come back after a set back... Never!
WS... Glad to see you joining us here.
Allswell... Welcome also and best of luck with your day 1
Jolie... Please stick around with us!

Success for me yesterday.( 2 glasses of wine ).. Followed by my first good night sleep in a while. I am having a nice Sunday with my boys. Sober at 5 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for the first time in a while.
I hope everyone is having a great day too
Enough!

Thanks Juja and Enough! for the welcome. Day one is never pleasant but definitely necessary. I need to get rid of the clutter and negativity and move forward. Each time I do I go a little farther away from alcohol and this might be the year I do it completely. Just like when I quit smoking for good, I just don't want it in my life anymore. End of story. Hope the week ahead is a great one for all of you!

I hate to admit this but I cannot remember if I've ever posted on this site before. As I was preparing to register I realized that I already had! Must have been during one of my nightly black-outs. I just wanted to thank you all for being here. I don't visit often but last night, after 8 days AF, I decided to pour myself a glass of wine from the bottle my husband bought earlier in the week. He hadn't realized that I'd decided to quit drinking on Dec. 31. I told myself I could have a few glasses and simply start over again today, but only on the condition that I visited this site first. Well... thank you ladies... instead of starting over again, I am now 9 days AF. Yippie!

Caper.....good going on logging in here instead of drinking the wine! I did the same thing yesterday and it really helped me. I'm on AF Day 7 and looking forward to Day 8 tomorrow.

I had such a wonderful day today.....I had a nice morning with my Husband, then met my youngest daughter for lunch, shopping and a movie (We Bought a Zoo) and I have to say that the feeling I had today was complete joy. I don't expect to feel this good everyday but I haven't felt this good in a long time....and it's strange...I read over my old posts and the first time I posted on MWO, by day no. 8 I felt depressed and cranky. This time, I feel happy. Not sure what the difference is except maybe this time something has clicked (let's hope so!). Also, I've learned so much since then, especially from MWO.

Hope everyone has a great, relaxing evening and a wonderful day tomorrow!

Just checking in on all my buds...glad to see some are moving ahead, and some are making plans.

Day 1 down, and it wasn't difficult. That always comes later for me.

Nitey-nite. See you tomorrow.:lipstick:

Good morning!
Juja... Great job getting to your day 2!
Caper... Well... The important thing is you remember posting this time
WS... So happy that things are going so well.

On my end... Another successful day and evening. It could of gone downhill quickly as we were going out for dinner. So I set a plan by taking a chance and trusting myself to having 1 glass of wine before going to the restaurant. Followed by pellegrino water at dinner. Other then a horrible upset stomach from a too rich dinner... Another beautiful day today.

I feel in control of things and love it.
Enough!
