Well done you! I know I keep thinking of all the things I could buy instead of AL in fact I have been making a list this morning! also made a list of possible alternative things I could be enjoying doing instead of drinking myself into oblivion, i will post them later, maybe it would help you to do the same? PS how old is your child? mine is 2 and a half

Bimble! Great news that you are on Day 2!! I was reading back over your posts...this is just the motivation you need to kick AL out of your life once and for all. I just got to the point where I was sick and tired of it all. It is exhausting, isn't it? So welcome to you...I don't normally post outside of the Newbie's Nest and I hope you don't think I'm some kind of staulker, but I'd like to invite you over, we have great success there and have folks in the first week, so come on over, it's very active and someone is always on to lend you support. I couldn't be where I am today (over one year sober) without the kind people on this site. You can do this...and we are here to help, you are NOT alone!! Byrdie

Hi Bimble!
Great job on getting to day 2! I'm glad you had a good evening and that your young'un was happy! My child is my biggest incentive. She's why I GOT sober, but I STAY sober for me, which benefits both of us. I know the money issue is a big thing too. I am actually able to buy things as I need them now, because I haven't spent every available dime on alcohol. Like Byrdie said, it's exhausting! I would drive from liquor store to liquor store to avoid seeing the same guy every single night. Then I'd have to plan and make sure I had enough to get me through then night. It's tiring! Anyway I'm rambling, but I'd like to also invite you over to the Newbie's nest, it's big and busy but cozy. Congrats again, keep it up, it does get easier!
