I am so thrilled to now be on day 7AF I can hardly stand it!!! I can't remember the last time I had 2 days in a row AF - and not many "1 day in a row AF in recent years either... SIX FULL DAYS AND ON TO DAY SEVEN!! Wow. And with the help of MWO - the book, supps, CD's and this forum, it hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected quitting drinking would be. I know there will be rough spots ahead, but I'm going to enjoy each and every moment where I'm not jonesing for a drink. LOL I'm hear posting right now because I'm jonesing for a bowl of ice cream, and I ain't giving in!!

I promised myself that I would join the Monthly AF group as my reward for 7 days AF. For me mentally, it's like telling myself that going a month AF IS possible for me. If I can do a week, then I know I can do 2, then 3, then 4.

**waving hi*** to all my new friends who are active in the Newbies section and also to the many people here I have yet to start getting to know.

Thanks in advance for having me.

Hello DG and Imt

Joining this forum is a step in the right direction because they won't give you a hard time if you buckle, but they definitely will not become enablers and pander to you if you do fall off the wagon. To me it was another forward step in the right direction and meant I had to stop " pussyfooting" around. I am now 65 days AF and as you say so beautifully, Imatree

I'M FREE
Hang in there....

Thank you for the very warm welcome!! I have not felt this happy and hopeful in years. My smiles are no longer masking the ever turning wheel in my head about when, where, how, what I will drink.

Imatree, CONGRATULATIONS on 8 days!!! WHEE!!! Collect your gold stars!!! Each time I see you user name I think "I'm a tree." Is that how you mean it? It makes me think of our dog training where there is a particular activity when the trainer says to the handler of the dog "be a tree." LOL - it's something people struggle with as they subconsciously want to move to "help" their dog but it's not "helpful" in that situation. I know it's impossible to figure out the situation - I just hear Trainer Dave in my head yelling "Be a tree!!" when I see you name. I will not forget you!!!!

Thank you jane and Acouuntable and Java and Popeye and Kathy! I look forward to getting to know you all better and sharing this amazing journey to FREEDOM. (LURVE that one Imatree!)

Onward and forward!

DG
