SUNDAY SHOUT OUT
Bethany,
Count today because it is AF! Good for you and welcome to the INN.
Don way to go w/ 100 days.
This group has a way of motivating people to reach their goals whether it is 30 or forever. I know that this summer Don and I started around the same time as Starlight and just behind Satori and DoggyGirl. DG we need you to keep in stride w/ us.
For Inn-mates working on their 30 day goals please know I am with you 100%.
Day 115 AF

SUNDAY SHOUT OUT
OK Rob! - just had a count up....176! Wow, be comforted anyone! If I can do 176, you can!
But, that would have daunted me beyond measure at first....I did just one day (hour!)at a time at first. I just wanted to feel better, then as good tomorrow as I did yesterday...and that meant that hindsight has added up tp 176!
In total honesty. at day 147 I began to 'add in' the occasional 1 inch of white wine topped right up with fizzy water.... I don't want more and often throw it away. I am very lucky to be able to do this I know. And absolutely know I could not have made that decision successfully at anything under 100 days. So....... what I am saying is, I think that would have 'helped' me to know that, one day, I might have accomplished that many days totally AF and find myself at a point of a 'measured decision'. I was terrified of the decision being made for me that, 'That was that....drink caput for ever...." There are things you can't know 'from the front' but had I known it, it would have made it 'easier' I am sure. And the 'inner-power' that comes from making your own decision is ......well, good! This is mine - at the moment anyway! If I start wanting all that drink and more....I STOP! (Satori's decision is AF for instance.....but it's HIS!)
So, I dare to post this here.... and wish everyone the 'ooomph' to get to that place...the place of YOUR decision of how to live each day instead of The Beast's....... (stupid beast...arrogant little fart!!!!)
May The Beast stay in his box!
Love and hugs

SUNDAY SHOUT OUT
BTW - just thinking....(who? Me!?) and wondering why 'alcohol' still seems to occupy my mind more than I would like, but less than it did....and only because I am ever wary of That Beast!!
176 days of new life....not long compared to....
9,125 days since I started to drink anything.
2,290 days since I began to think, this isn't normal social drinking; it's on the heavy side of normal.
176 days ago was the end of a period of 365 days of serious drinking.......And the end of 30 days of crazy drinking....And the end of 4 days of damn nearly killing myself.....
So, no wonder I still think about it - the having, the not having, the memories, the shame, the guilt and the huge relief not to be there anymore!!!
Keep going...it's ever so much nicer out here!!!:heart: c: :heart:
