Day 34

Hi All

Thanks for the message Free - Just a quickie check-in, busy with the family today.... I'm so glad I didn't give into the "voice" yesterday, phew..... I would have really regretted it. I want to stay AF until I leave for Easter Holidays at the end of next week.

I see that all is well with you Free and you start your travels again today, so thinking of you and stay strong, you can do it.

Hope everyone else is doing well, have a great w/e.

Love Snowflake X

Hi Snowflake, glad to see you have a goal of a few more days AF under your belt. Will check in tomorrow, after I am safely in hotel, and have resisted numerous temptations. Cheers.

Hi Snowflake,

Your story is much like mine. I could have written exactly what you just did and it would all be spot on (except I have 2 kids and not 4). My husband is doing the same, my habit is exactly like yours. I logged on this morning because I really just want it to stop. The guilt, waking every morning so committed and then failing. I actually congratulated myself the other day because I only had 3 drinks instead of the whole bottle. I have stopped on and off. Longest AL free period was 120 days. I am with you on day 1. Of course, I pick one of the biggest drinking holidays in the world to start... but I am starting today. I want out of this cycle. Hope we are both successful!

HI TO ALL

Hi and welcome OnceAgain

Already the fact that you had 3 drinks instead of the whole bottle ? is an amazing achievement, I have never achieved that ? and also AF for 120 days ? even more amazing! You know that you can do this you just need to get started again and get into the swing of things again for yourself and your family, you know as well as I do that it is well worth it!

You are very welcome to stay on this thread OnceAgain, but it is pretty quiet at the moment, I am now on Day 35 AF and will stay on here until I leave for Easter Holidays next Friday. I will be gone for 2 weeks and I want to get away from computers/technology for my holidays, then I hope to come back on board. In the meantime, of course you can stay here or you can pop over and join the Newbies Nest where you would be also be most welcome and you could also join the 311 Gang ? who have just completed their 7 days AF and who give great support every day to each other which is very helpful and encouraging.

Whatever you decide, I hope that we can keep in touch and I wish you lots of good wishes on your journey!

Free - Congratulations on your 7 Days AF, well done ? See I knew that you could do it!

4mykids ? Well done ? you have quietly crept up to near the 30 day AF mark ? which is amazing ? well done and look forward to congratulating you when you receive your hat in a few days? time!

In the meantime, I?m feeling quite proud of myself as once again I had reason to celebrate today and normally that would be done with champagne and although I didn?t have any at home I do have a very nice bottle of red wine ? I much prefer ros? or white ? but red is lovely as well. Anyway, the urge was there big time and I even walked to the cocktail cabinet three times but turned back and now I can safely say I didn?t give in, so I am really happy. I want to get to Thursday evening AF as I leave for Easter holidays on Friday and I want to try to moderate on my holidays, as I am not ready to say, just yet, that I am finished for good ? silly though that may be, I know.

OK - Getting late here and lot's to do before bed time and it's Monday tomorrow, so night night everyone, sleep tight.

Best wishes to all:l

Snowflake,

Hi. It sounds like you are doing so well - congratulations!

I think you were pretty clear that you wanted to try moderation after 30 days and you'll have even more days AF by the time you do it. I am not going to try to dissuade you - I am just really curious about how you are planning to do it. When I tried to figure it out, I couldn't identify a potentially successful plan and at some point just dropped the idea.

Anyway, I'd be interested in your ideas or perhaps an update when you return.

Have a wonderful holiday and again, congratulations on surpassing your goal!

Take care, NS

Hi Snowflake,
Great will power. I am thinking about the number 40 and Easter. I believe, tradition states that Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days where he was severely tempted by Satan. If my math is correct, you will finish 40 days at the start of your holiday. I, too, am sending you best wishes as you explore this option. Like No Sugar, I am curious about your plans, and will want to hear how it goes after your holiday. You go girl!

Once Again, there is a group 311 (for first day of sobriety was March 11, 2013) who try to post every day -- welcome to join us. And, we appreciate support from those who have more time, like No Sugar, 4theKids, Snowflake, Kuya, and others.

DAY 36

HI TO ALL

No time to stop today/tonight, but just wanted to sign in to say a very quick HI and to make sure I am accountable for tonight. I'm so glad I didn't give in to the urge last night and it's going to be AF until the weekend, so that's it, I've said it - so even though there are urges, I will stay strong, as I have to sign in here each day.

Dear NoSugar, thank you so much for your mail - I will reply when I have a bit more time on my hands, but as of yet ?No Plan? ? silly me, but I'll let you know what's going on in my mind before I leave to go on holidays - thanks for your concern. I see that you are well and admire you so very much, you are always here and there, popping in and out, to give a wonderful lending hand to everyone in need, thank you so much.

Hi Free, thanks for your post and encouragement, not only to me but to many others, sorry, no time to stop, but will write more at a later date.

Love and Best Wishes to All for an AF day today/tonight, stay strong.

Snowflake :l

Hi guys.....just popping in to say I'm still around. Snowflake, I'm getting ready for a 2 week holiday too (leaving march 31 ...Easter). Can't wait of some sun and warmth!......we are getting another major storm tonight and tomorrow.
Free...you are absolutely right....it is a lot of work getting ready to go away.....and there is always more to catch up on when you come back!.......and I'm retired! Babysitting grandson is taking a lot of my time...and preparing meals every afternoon for 4 adults, plus the little one. Not much time to dig out the summer clothes and see what still fits!

Well, back to the kitchen.....catch you all later!
