Hello Everyone,

Happy AF Friday and wishing all a awesome weekend. I know we are all busy with our lives and sometimes we don't have much to write when we do post, but when you guys I do, it's appreciated. It's good to know that we check in from time to time with a quick hello.

How you doing White? Remember, TRY to post as much as you can, it does help.

I happy and very grateful to be AF and to have FINALLY found a job where my career is going to sky rocket and the best part and important part is that I am not drinking. However, it's important for me to start looking into a Business Management & Accounting certification program. Wow, it's so nice to feel confident in knowing that this can be possible, that I can have a great new life....it feels great. I don't miss alcohol at all, I don't feel that I gave up "alot"...I feel FINALLY relieved to have been so head strong in WANTING alcohol out of my life so bad and thanks to you guys for giving me your support, it happened. I know and remind myself that there will be days that I might think for a quick sec "hmmm, maybe just sip" but it will be a quick sec, no more.

I am so happy to not be drinking and to be out of the "drama" of it. Strange to say, but if I were to die tomorrow, I would die a content person because knowing I had 140 days, was definitely a big life accomplishment and that puts me in such inner peace. Wow, I am so grateful to not be drinking. I REALLY AM : )

Anywho, sorry for rambling on....have a great weekend everyone and thank you for being a big part in my sobriety.

Lots of hugs to you all,
Janet

Hi everyone....got back abt an hr and a half ago, the second lot of washing is in & I have 5 mins before starting to unpack properly!! Hope everyone is well...will catch up later with posts but welome to whitemarshmom!!

Had a fantastic week in Portugal...stayed in Albufeira, at the Pine Sheraton Resort...absolutely beautiful!!! Early evenings were spent at the top of the cliff in the Mirador Champagne Bar watching the beautiful sunsets....stunning setting. It must be the first holiday I've had where I havent drooled over everyone's drink, thinking "its not fair, why cant I?". This time, no way did I feel deprived or feel as if I was missing out & thoroughly enjoyed my non-alcoholic cocktails "Paradise" and "Lollipop"!!!

Janet, seems like we're thinking the same thoughts!

Hi everyone

I too thought your post was very inspiring Janet. Glad you had a great holiday Janice and that you weren't remotely tempted. It is when I am away that I really struggle. Hi to Kdog and everyone else. It is 7 months for me today.

Have a good week everyone xx

Hi everyone!
Congratulations Sausage! 7 months is a fantastic acheivement and so inspirational.. Whoo hoo!
Hi PJ, it's so good to hear you're on such a positive path. It sounds like this job is a great fi for you and a reminder that you do have what it takes,you are capable and deserving! You're motivating me to get it together and find something I enjoy.
Hi Scottish lass,kdog and all newbies, I hope all is well and like PJ said, keep posting it really does help. I haven't posted in a couple of days and doing so now really reaffirms the path I'm on is the right path and it keeps me honest. I can still ride the roller coaster of emotions but guess what? That's life and I'm learning to cope without guzzling my way through it!
Happy Tuesday everyone.
