    100 Day Club members/Maintenance Thread

    I was reading around the boards the other day, and I was wondering if there might be some interest in a thread that invited long term Abbers to post. In this thread, we might not speak so much to the day to day struggles of resisting AL, but just generally. If it comes up, ALL HANDS ON DECK, but otherwise, just a thread where there is no real struggling to get thru the day AF....anyone interested? I was curious just how many folks we have that are long termers (100+ days with no intentions of changing that) since not everyone puts his/her quit date in.

    Hope everyone has a happy day!! Byrdie

    I'm here Brydie and I have no intentions of ever drinking alcohol again. You can count me in. All those years of struggling are over for me. I just KNOW they are and I am glad to help others find their way.

      This is a GREAT idea, Byrdie. It will give we that are still struggling a good look at a great future sans AL..motivation and insight.

      Love you, :h

        I'm in! Sometimes I still need the input from those ahead and short of a PM have nowhere to pose the question, other than starting a new thread.

        Putting it here opens it to all long term Abbers

              Hey bettygirl, I don't believe we've met! Are these your dogs in your avatar? I have a chihuahua and she is just rotten! High maintenance!!

              I got invited to a wine tasting tomorrow night, can you imagine? Not going. The irony in our lives...Who'da ever thought I'd be on an ALK site giving advice on how to quit drinking????? Life is full of twists and turns....B

                Hi. Um... can I stick my neb in just now and say, although only just about half way to the 100 day mark... I will be reading this thread closely. I would say I'm in, but I got another 7 weeks to beat the bejeezus out of AL! Agree with Kradle - it gives us an eye on what is possible...

                  One of my main problems so far is fatigue. It has been a lot better since I hit four months but does it just lift gradually or is there a time.
                  I am exercising at last, not too much, but I still feel foggy from early afternoon. I eat well and take supplements but......

                        Byrdy,

                        This is a great idea. Very few post in Long Term Abstainers.

                        What generally happens is that as a person gathers more and more time in sobriety, they also begin to change their lives with new endeavors that take up much of their time.

                        i.e. xTexan, Irishlady, Brittzak, Doggy Girl, Mags, etc.

                        Therefore, long terms tend to disappear. In the past, we dubbed them solar orbiters. Those who had a year or more under their belts.

                        Which is a good thing. This also shows that life goes on to bigger and better things with sobriety.

                        However, it is also very good for those with less sobriety under their belts to see what those with longer time are doing and feeling to give them a view forward, as it were.

                        Thanks!

                          Greetings everyone

                          Thanks for creating this thread Byrdie!
                          My Newbies Nest speeches are burning ruts into my brain, I could use a break :H

                          Maybe we can discuss some things we have learned along the way. Things about ourselves & things we need to remain on this AF path!

                          I have learned the almighty importance of maintaining balance in my life. Avoiding drama created by others is essential for me! I have taken ownership of all of my problems, made a plan & worked to correct them & most importantly - change my thinking! I did the work & now I am rewarded with a life free of addiction. My life is not perfect, not by any stretch but it is free

                          Today I celebrate 44 months smoke free & that's a big deal for me. March 26 is right around the corner when I will celebrate 4 years AF. And btw - I will throw a big party here ~ everyone is invited

                              :H I feel the same way, I try to come up with different wording every time, but there is only so many ways to convey the basic information. I often wonder if the long term people, roll their eyes on "another Nelz" post.


                              4 years soon eh? I better get the factory on double time.......
