    One Day at a Time November 5th 2012

    Off we go into a new week so let's start with a little light reading. Sometimes my threads get lost in the Shout outs , Happy Birthday and congrats ones but if you furtle round a bit you can find one or two more serious threads like this.

    That is a brutal story. Especially about the shop clerk.

    I am AF today because although it is hard at this point, I don't want to be the person I was. No great words of wisdom or insights. Just moving, minute by minute.

      Thanks for linking your story JC. I admire the way you just *tell it like it is*!!! :l

      I was always ballsy in the booze shops... march in there to stock up and eyeball them with a steady gaze if they as much as looked at me like they knew what was going on. I did a slight amount of "bottle shop rotation" but only if it didn't mean me going too far out of my way. This girl needed her fix and nowt was going to get in the way of me having my supplies... Apart from the shops though, I felt guilty over EVERYTHING else! :H I even felt guilty that I wasn't being a proper petmum to my cats. Ugh...

      Mr JC is a star and he really stuck by you. Of course, if you weren't worth it... he wouldn't have! )

        AF today for me! I don't have any great insight either. Thanks JC & Molly for showing us it can be done. :h

          Thanks for your story. It helps to see the achievements of others when you worry about being successful yourself. Reminds you that what gets you through it is one day at a time.

              Another day of trying AF.... Even if I don't succeed, I will try again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.

                  Thanks JC for posting this again.
                  You do this to help others which is great.
                  You were one of the first names I was given by another poster to get your advice on starting out.
                  I wasn't disappointed and your wit and happy outlook is what has kept me here and now sober . Watching your antics with MR JC & your family I gradually realised the world would not end if I didn't have a drink.
                  I've re-read your post and after 9 months of posting & reading daily this means so much more now too :l
                  I can really see how far you 've come on your journey .

                  Thank you :h
