    JAMMIN JANUARY KICKOFF FOR A SOBER 2012 - NEWBIE SUPPORT THREAD

    Good morning Mylife--tried to get everyone on the page--missed ya.:happyheart:

    St. Francis of Assisi



    I'm not perfect, never will be, but better than I was and not as good as I'm going to be.

      Hi All from me too. I don't think I'm going to keep really close track of my days but I'll have it in the back of my mind. My first completely sober day was Jan 2.....so I'll know next year that I'm really on a roll......

      Happy day to all of you, hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
      Ask yourselves, would you rather be a non drinker with an occasional desire to drink or a drinker with a constant desire to stop doing it?

            Vini - You mentioned 30 Day Shred and it reminded me how lazy I have been lately. I did the 30 Day Shred about 3 months ago and lost 15 pounds and a crazy amount of inches. Sadly, everything has returned to where it once was :upset: But I fully intend to get started again, once I have at least 7 days cigarette-free. I really don't think throwing excercise in on top of it all right now is going to help (or am I just making excuses?). I also have Ripped in 30 which I hope to complete as well....so that is my next goal!

            Jenny-I'm sorry to hear that you've had something bad happen. Please stay strong and remember that drinking doesn't make anything better. You're already proving how strong you are!

            I am horrible at mentioning everyone by name, so I will just say to the rest of the Januaries, good job on your achievements and keep up the good work! We can do this together.

            Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

              Hi Jammers,

              Just a quick drop in - spent the night at my dad's place last night. I'm in the process of making the funeral arrangements, etc. He will probably not make it past today - definitely not beyond tomorrow. He looks peaceful, and I had quality time with him - I think he knew I was there.

              No time today but just wanted to welcome the new Jammers and send strength to everyone. Thanks Chill, SL and everyone who gave me support during this tough time.
              I have remained AF through this ordeal and I'm so happy I have. Today is day 57 for me.

              Jenny, hope your family situation is not too dire and is getting resolved...........

              Stay strong everyone - YOU GUYS ARE ALL SOUNDING SO GREAT - MAKES ME PROUD!! It really is worth it even when you're going through something that would normally make you want to drink more than ever!

                    My quit date May 21, 2011 and I am on day 235af.

                    SS to hear about your dad Unwasted. Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
                    I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

                    Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

                    Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

                                Wow are we an energetic and productive bunch here when we're sober! People quitting smoking and others organizing our quit dates!! Life is good!

                                K9 - what is a 30-day shred? Does that just mean diet and exercise or does it mean a specific diet? I could use some of that whatever it is! One guy I read about who quit drinking and smoking at the same time said he thought the weight gain from stopping smoking would be cancelled out by the weight loss of stopping drinking. Sounds like good logic to me.

                                Jenny - sorry to hear about your troubles. Unfotuntely life is full of those - I hope that yours soon get better.

                                UW - :l:l I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I'm sending lots of prayers your way.

                                Wishing everyone a wonderful AF day - I'm logging in to day 10 today. Wherever you are on your journey - keep it up. Persistence will always pay off in the end. :h
