Thank you for those great words Byrdie and everyone for your support. I’m happy I made it 30 days, and intend to keep that going (this is already by far the longest I’ve ever gone since AL worked its poisonous ways into my life many moons ago). I realize 30 days is a small victory in a long war, but it is a war worth fighting. I will honestly say though, as many people here already know, initially trying to give up AL when you have had it as such a big part of your life pretty much sucks. It has been some of the hardest weeks in a row for me in my life, including too many panic attacks, too many sleepless nights and too many health scares (most of the things that happened I didn’t post here as I was basically freaked out). It is very hard work. It is a conscious decision you have to make all the time, every time. It just doesn’t happen because you just "decide" you won't drink anymore…I’ve tried that before unsuccessfully too many times. It happens when you change your life so that you won’t. I’ve made a very strong effort to go nowhere near any place that has AL, and the times that I did were too close of call for me. For this period and for a while, I don’t want any temptation even close to me. I know there is no point where you can let your guard down, or old ways can sneak back in. I know the good parts of quitting way outweighs the bad, so reminding myself of this when those urges keep recurring is part of what keeps me driven. Onward and upward, be inspired and inspire others….Thanks

So right on, STL....not simply deciding not to drink, but having to make that difficult conscious decision not to drink when it has always been such a huge part of our lives. I laughed, and then cried, on my way to work today....heard a beer advertisement on the radio, and I started to salivate! Scary & embarrassing to have been ruled for so long by AL.
