June free from AL
witching hour here....
I want a drink but then I think about what it would be like after I finish that drink....I would inevitably pour another....then another and so on and so forth.
And then I would not be able to deal with my children or my husband. I would pass out on the couch. I would wake up in the middle of the night disoriented and dizzy and would find my way to my bed. Then, I would wake up in another hour or so drenched in sweat and then I would toss and turn for a couple of hours. Then I would doze off again (finally) only to wake up with a hangover, irritable, unable to go to the gym and I would feel fat, bloated and disappointed in myself.
Sound familiar?I just won't anymoreComment

Very familiar jenniech, thanks for reminding us once again why an AF life is a better one.
Welcome LostSoul 33, we are not far from the end of June! I find the monthly thread a great one as it gives a goal to attain, racking up those months is beginning to count towards a healthier, happier life. Wishing everone well!On a mission, and the only option is success. My family and I deserve a better life, an AF life.:hComment

Jenn....sounds very familiar to me! Thanks for the reminder....warm weather is tough.
Still hanging in there....Day 20 for me tomorrow, which is a miracle for me. I hope this weekend is easier than last one. It does seem to get easier as the days go by.
We are rocking Juners!Miley

Goodmorning!!!
I feel a shift happening.....I am feeling strong and really good. I have my power back now that I am AF to deal with life's problems on life's terms. That would NEVER happen if I were drinking.
The cravings are subsiding and I am kicking the poor me's to the curb.
Thanks for all of your support during my down period!!!!!!!!!!!!I just won't anymoreComment

Hey, Jennie -- I think powerful is just the right word. It is great to regain self-confidence and a sense of control.
Although I don't think I'm particularly power-hungry, I have enjoyed the feeling of power when I am the member of a group who is not drinking. I like confidently ordering my AF beverage. I like not trying to mind my words and walk carefully. I like being the driver. And I really like not wanting to end the evening early so I can get home and sadly drink more.
I am enjoying having finally turned the tables on AL and being the one with the power who is large and in charge.

Me too Jenn....such shocking news. He was so young!
WE....I have notice my cravings for AL diminishing significantly. I am of the mind-set to expect them when I least expect them! It is nice not to be obsessing over AL for a change!Miley

Hoping to finish out June after a bad choice last week, back in the sadddle, again. Day 6 free of poison. Finally felt a bit better yesterday afternoon.
Finally feel like starting a "to do" list this morning. Can't find my little notebook...it's around here somewhere, 8 days of dust on it, but I know it's here.
