Last Day Check In before the Holidays

Dear All

Glad to see that everyone is doing great and I’m really sorry I haven’t been checking in – but Tuesday and Thursday were jam packed, and I tried most of the day Wednesday to get onto the site, but it was impossible. I don’t have time to read back properly but at a quick glance some really great things I have seen are:

4thekids – Many congratulations on reaching your 30 days – and beyond – incredible work – you must feel really great, and long may it continue. PS – I love your “Maths” theory – I like to count my empty water bottles as I dispose of them (they used to be wine bottles) frightening!

Free – You are doing amazing – such temptation as always pushed in front of you – and still you march strongly on – Keep going with your soda water and lime, I will be thinking of you and look forward to seeing you great achievement when I get back from vacation.

New Day – I hope that you are doing fine, and that your Grandson is well, wishing you a lovely holiday in the sun, I can’t see at a quick glance where you are in your journey – but well done!

Well, I’m off on holiday tomorrow – no plan in order yet - What I do know is that before I started my initial journey on 11 February 2013 – I never thought I would get past Day 1 – honestly – and every day upon wakening I say “Thank You” for not having drunk the night before. BUT…… I just can’t accept yet that I will go on holiday and carry on AF, although it would be ideal – I’m not ready for that yet – silly though it may be. I hope to be able to moderate and I will tell you all when I return.

I will read – Jason Vale’s book (which I read a few pages of the day before starting) and have also ordered some other books which other members have recommended (but only one has arrived) but at least I have two to keep me busy.

So as I have mentioned before, I want to get away from technology during my holidays – so no checking in for me, I will get back in touch when I come back middle April.

All the best of good wishes, I will be thinking of you all - Please take Good Care

Happy Holidays to All

Lots of Love Snow X
AF Day 40

HI NoSugar

Dear NoSugar

You have changed your avatar for Spring – What a lovely idea – very nice indeed!

Well, still no plan as of yet – I just know that in my head I am not ready (I should be - stupid I know) to go on holiday and not have a few glasses of wine. I have never tried to moderate – and I don’t know if I can. I just want to try, therefore, I want to mentally tell myself to stop after a few glasses – I am cringing at the thought, that I might not be able to stop, but at least I will know that I have tried. I feel that as I will have to report back here after the holidays, that, that, in itself, will encourage me to be sensible, the same way as I managed to stay AF for 40 days, as I knew I had to report here every day. I will also have my family watching me with eagle eyes and I really don‘t want to let them or myself down.

The end of this week has been hard for me, maybe because I knew that as of tomorrow this “goal” would be finished, and I was already thinking – what difference will a few days make – but I managed to resist, mainly because I had already mentioned on this thread that I would be AF until the end of the week, so here I am, I only have tonight to get through, which I know I will as it’s in my head, there will be no temptation in front of me, and I will record my 40 days. I do realize that it’s not much, but when I thought that I couldn‘t achieve 1 Day AF, and I really was petrified of the aspect of not having my nightly glasses/bottles, I’m proud of my 40 Days – and I really and truly wish that I was ready to say it‘s a life time decision – but I’m sorry – I’m not brave enough yet.

I hope that all is well with you and looking forward to getting caught up when I get back, in the meantime sending lots of best wishes your way for your AF Journey.

Take Good Care

Belated Congratulations KUYA on 200 Days AF!

Oh Dear Kuya

We must be telepathic - I was just looking everywhere - for my piece of paper where I had jotted down that you and AllanKay had reached 200 days on Tuesday, 19 March 2013. Oh my goodness - congratulations to the both of you - What an amazing achievement! Well Done! WOW! FANTASIC! XXX

Kuya, Also, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm wishes, I really appreciate them, they mean a lot to me.

With much love Snow X

Very quicky reply....

Thanks so very much NoSugar, I will DEFINITLY check in after my holidays, and let you know how things went (Good or Bad) and also as I want to be held accountable again, either way - if not, it would be far too easy to get straight back into the old habits, and that is a path I really do not want to go down again.

This Community is amazing and I only wish that I had come back after my last holiday in 2007!

Thanks again for your kindness.

Hi Snowflake, since your note was the inspiration that got me motivated to get the wine and champagne out of my life, am writing to just check in how your holiday was and how you are doing. We have missed you!
