Un and everyone else, I'm in!!!!!!!! For the first time in 3 years I am feeling a glimmer of hope. Made a plan and started 3 journals. One for health/healing, one for gratitude, and one for livng my life AF.

jennyneric, take care with the hangover. I was there on Friday.

And I forgot, Un, congratulations on another milestone.

Spuds, we can do this if we stop the negative thougths. Let's hang in there, together.

not the same jen but probably the same hangover. It is that time of day again and despite the hangover, I am still getting that itchy anxiety......but i will keep reading, posting and thinking of all of you going through the same thing either now or in the past.....if you guys can do it, so can i..........I am simply going to choose not to. Let's NOT together

Why am I fighting the urge right now? I did so well last night...maybe that's why?? Stupid I know. Maybe a shower will change my mood... Don't want to screw up on the first day of January, do I?

Thanks Cuckoo...

I am starting with making a plan in a Workbook. I am determined to do at least one good thing for myself each day (guess I'll be pretty spoiled by the end of the year!!!)

believer, as for doing one good thing for yourself each day, me too. Everyday i'm planning on putting the money I would spend on alcohol in a container and using that to treat myself to things like a manicure, pedicure, etc. I also plan that if I can't think of a gratitude for a day, I will try hard to extend a real kindness to someone else so that hopefully they will have a gratitude.

Wow, welcome everyone..........lots of us here to support each other......strength in numbers -- I love it.

Belle, these cravings hit when they shouldn't - no understanding them necessarily. Showers are very helpful! So is eating, watching t.v., reading, posting, exercise.......pick something because NO you absolutely cannot have made it past NYE and drink today -- not allowed.:H:H

Jen - our other Jenny has hopped on board too. We'll have to find a way not to confuse you aside from your hangovers since you're not going to drink this month!!

Jenny - good to see you back.......sounds like you learned your lesson last night (again). OK, yes it's again, but that's going to help you be stronger this time.

Believer, Cuckoo, Alison, Scottish Lass, Spuds, Queenie, Luka, Irie, Nelz and all you other January Jammers, let's make this happen. Rock & Roll.................

Yes Yes here I am...again...but do you know how cool it would be to ring in 2013 with a year sober under my belt? I keep thinking I can drink and not get out of control and for the most part I am right....but it's the 2 or 3 times a year the I mess up bad that is horrible. I can not drink at other peoples houses, I just go nuts I guess. Anyway I'm here and last night was so bad and today was so bad that I should be in for at least 45 days with no want to drink...it's after that that I'll have to really work.

Jenny, I just finally had to tell myself I was done with it.....hope you'll consider doing the same. C'mon, let's do the whole year! You've been trying a long time, so you must want it!! As Supercrew says, there are no reasons to drink, only excuses.

Welcome Tribal Rose and Merry!

Go team!
