    Looking for: People early in their 1st 30 Days AF

    It seems that along the way - cohorts form of people who make the first 30 days AF together. And they stay together over time - as support and friends. It also seems like the most successful at being AF or Modding - have bonded with people who started around the same time.

    So - those of you somewhere in the first 30 days- if you are interested, I'd love to have you all along for this ride so we can cheer each other on, help keep each other motivated, and be here when one of us is tempted to give in to the booze brain.

    I don't want to fail at this. I don't want to keep living like I did before. I don't want people to hate calling me after 8:30 because they don't know if this is where I'm two glasses in or a whole bottle down. I don't want to check the call log in the morning wondering who I talked to and praying I don't owe someone an apology and I don't even know it. I don't want to get up at 4:30 and delete FB postings I made after 11:30 because I'm hoping everyone was in bed when I was that stupid.

    I don't want to lose words I should know in a sentence. I don't want to lose friends. I don't want to wake up in the living room on the chaise with my clothes on, TV going and a head ache with my alarm going off. I don't want to keep getting sick because my labs show all my B-vitamins so low that I am terribly anemic and who knows what else.

    So - if you are out there - and you are willing to come along for the ride, I would love to have you. I don't care if it's day one - again - or you are Day 29. But I would love to do this together.

    Are you in?
    That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
    Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

    prairie, I don't technically qualify - but I had to say that your post brought tears to my eyes...

    My first thought was - "what a great idea!" then I thought - "there's yet another example of PF's determination...I think she's going to make it..." then as I kept reading I teared up....it hits so close to home...and I do feel like all of you are my friends...we all understand each other so well.

    So, while I'm just slightly past 30 days I'd love to ride along if it's ok. And if so, then I call shotgun!

        Hey Prairie Fairy and others, glad I logged in again today. Just ordered the vitamins etc.
        Have the 'Mom cds' to hypnotize myself. Very disappointed in myself. Was AF five yrs ago, with the help of MWO. Got lost. Glad to be back. Good luck to everyone!:new:

                          Hi Prairie, I would love to join you. I was feeling like I didn't belong here because everyone seems to know everyone so well and I was going to stay off for awhile but logged in at the last minute and found your post. I am on day 7. Today was a tough one. Hubby and I worked in the yard and then our usual is for him to have a few beers and for me to open some wine around 3 and start the evening. We didn't and I'm glad we didn't but it sure was hard. I was down a bit today after feeling so good all week. Plus it was such a beautiful fall day and I love sitting outside and looking at the trees and birds and drink wine. I've been reading Jason Vale's book and it has been helping. Thanks for starting this.
