    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Good morning all. Welcome Marhall. These are good people who will guide you and support you and will never make you feel like you've intruded! I hope the fog lifts for you a bit today.

    Day 9! I have been working out again and it has been so good. It keeps my mind of Al and when I'm finished, I'm so exhausted all I want to do is shower, a little snack and hit the bed!

    Mr. G, Lilly, FF, Marhall, and all the others....a blessed and sober day to us all!

      Good Morning all and welcome Marshall.

      Free Fly....day 9. Congratulations! Isn't it easier when we have others doing it with us? Am I right this is your first day 9? Or first in a long time?

      DG- You are sounding better. I think getting through that first week was the hardest. I was so agited. Didn't feel that way yesterday and didn't feel deprived last night. I am getting so much done. Stayed up way too late last night reading. But that is a good thing.

      G- Once again so much positive words. It does just get better. The one thing we need to remember is to always have a plan and not become complacent. That is what happened to me at 88 days. I had one sip because I couldn't keep saying no. That turned into a few drinks a week later...then vacation with drinks....then home and slowly back to my nightly wine. Oh how I felt good back then without al.

      Lilly- Keep going. I noticed an even bigger difference at 60 than 30. Body started getting back to normal.

      Scottish Lass- Hope you are still with us!

      Happpy sober hump day!

        Hi Clear eyes, and a cheery good morning from a fresh, crisp, but hopefully sunny Melbourne day ahead! (I suppose i do have the potential to be one of those tooooo cheery/chirpy morning people, but like to think i'd reign it in before that point! :H)

        88 days is a great achievement CE, and one you can do again with even more gratitude as you know what lay ahead. And beyond that is even wilder as i'm sure Dogwood can attest to.

        Have a sensational rest of the week everyone. Today, i shall think positive and won't allow any negative thinking, imagery, bullshit AL fantasies cloud my true path.

        L8tr, Yo!

          Thanks for the well wishes G & Lilly - yes feeling good over here. Hope you are too

          DB - you're sounding great. Well done on the work out.

          Clear Eyes - Yes to both - first time to 9 days (lol!) and definitely easier with others alongside. You've got me thinking about when actually was my last long time sober. Sadly I can't remember but then again I don't remember much about the last god knows how many years. I do remember the last 9 days though :H

          How you doing today Marhall?

          Really tired tonight so off for an early one. Nighty night x

              Hi freefly, and everybody, hope you are all well, and feeling strong.
              I am good, mixed emotions really. In starting out day 3, I actually exercised this morning, Trying to keep my mind off the reasons I got here, ( I am a dweller) and the feeling of worthlessness that goes with it. But with that hopeful feelings also. I know that sounds confusing. I am Rambling.

                Hi all, still here - day 9! woohoo! Doing ok, still have cravings - I had been sleeping well, but had weird dreams last night - didn't like them.
                I am hanging in ok - I am taking next week off and hanging out with my girls - they have a list of things they want to do (San Fran for a day, Marine World, back to school shopping, hair cuts - something else that I can't remember) - I will have fun with them, but there will be a lot of temptation to drink - many of the excuses to have a drink that I used to sue will be around, the main one is that I am on holiday!! Hopefully with 2 weeks I will be strong enough.
                Nice to see all doing well and keeping up with their goals, and enjoying their successes...

                  Evening everyone:

                  Wanted to get your learned opinions about my camping trip tomorrow....
                  I'm almost 2 months and feel good- good news
                  Going with my dear friends who drink like fish and we are definitely drinking buddies. - bad news

                  She knows that I'm MWO and AF NOw and she's very supportive. Still...it's camping, 4 days...fun in the sun, a big beautiful lake, mountains, boat, tubing, 85 degrees....frolic...
                  :jumpin::

                  I haven't done this yet. Don't know what to expect really...this could be fine. But this could also be a fricken disaster:upset:

                  I have juice, water, tonic, lemons....can't think of what else I need to do...

                  Any insights are really appreciated. :new:

                    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

                    Kradle - not sure if I am one to give advice, but last year during one of my AF periods I got really worked up about a business trip to Las Vegas - there would be lots of free booze, wining and dining by drug companies - top shelf stuff, lots of partying - and it was Vegas.
                    I managed to find a time to check in and post every day, and the thing that probably worked the best, I wrote my "I'm home, I did it!" post - I had it in an email on my phone so could read it fairly often and really, really wnated to post it - and not a "day 1 again, I didn't make it post"
                    You are probably half way to succeeding in just acknowledging the fight - the times I have slipped or fallen have been when I was not expecting it and not prepared - I got thru Christmas, NY, holiday parties, business trips - the biggies. I fall over little things that creep up and bite me when I am not watching!
                    Good Luck!:l

                      That's a great idea SL:

                      I can have my dear friend who has 2 and 1/2 years text me over the course of the trip so i can stay anchored!

                      That's a good plan. Think I'll call her right now!

                      Big hugs, :l:l

                        Hey Kradle....It sounds like you are going to have a blast! You said that one of your friends know that you are MWO and not drinking...that should help a bit. It seems like you are prepared with your juice, water, tonic and lemons. You are such a strong person and you have come such a long way....you can do this!!!! Have fun..I can't wait to hear all about it!

                          My oh my, double digits

                          Nice to see you Scottish Lass and what a good bit of advice for Kradle there ? writing up the post and taking it with you. Nothing like a bit of creative visualisation. Kradle, I?m not a great camper but the ex was so got dragged along a few times. The only thing I know about camping is that it?s really sh*** waking up hungover in a tent!

                          Hi Destiney ? how are you? I think you?re on double digits today too - although I did see you trying to sneak in an extra day over there in the nest :H

                          Nice to see you Marhall and kudos to your day 3. No you don?t sound confusing. Be gentle with yourself and try not to dwell on the past. Everything changes in an instant and if you can let go of the past, those sad thoughts won?t go towards creating your future. Choose the good ones my friend. Well done on the exercising ? big part of recovery for me and an excellent mind clearer.

                          Mr G, Lilly, Clear Eyes & all ? have a wonderful sober day

                              Hi to all, and thank you freefly. Facing the evening of day 3 more positive. Tomorrow will be tough, Friday will be my first weekend, but if I can get through to Sunday I will be pleased. Hope everyone is on track, it seems planning is key.
