Alcohol Free October

Alcohol Free October

Well gang... I messed up a couple nights ago. I'm not counting the hangover day as an AF day, so that makes today Day 1.

I'll recount what happened in more detail over in my progress thread.

That being said, I do know with 100% certainty that I'm going to be spending the rest of October sober.

hi , still hanging in here ,59 days and taking ODAT . I feel like I am at a crossroads , my brain keeps on with the needing a drink - I keep on fighting it - triggers must be everywhere. Seem to spend a lot of time talking to myself - reminding myself that I DO NOT DRINK - hope this will pass. x

Day 6 over here. I wanted to buy some wine on the way home. Then I decided I am happy to have a nice night and not spend tomorrow hating myself and recovering. Then I felt happy!
Because it's never just some wine or I wouldn't be here!

60 Days, Ginger!!!:goodjob:
And you, too, Nursie on giving that wine the boot. Forget it, I say!!! The last thing we all need is to feel like shit tomorrow-- hangover and guilt! What a sure fire way to ruin a Sunday--I've re-discovered the original yogi tea and it's so yummy.
Have a good evening everyone!!

Oooh I will have to try that tea! I LOVE tea.
I was able to have a sober weekend and I feel great. I was out with my family and I had huge cravings. It felt strange to be doing all these normal things while sober with no alcohol to look forward to etc. I planned that I could buy wine any time I wanted to.
But I didn't.
And I am so happy to wake up to another beautiful sober day.

Day 7 AF. Happy to be up early, sober, with coffee and ready to get a bunch of stuff done.

Found a cool quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that resonates with me-

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
