    Thurs. - Dec. 20

    I just read through yesterday's daily thread...very interesting. Today, I'm not going to drink. That's what works for me. I'm not thinking about tomorrow. I know I'll make 100 days AF, because all of the "todays" from now until then will be AF for me. I hope all is well w/everyone. I have a wicked cold picked up from the g-sons who sneeze indiscriminately...kids can't hold back. Love, Mary
    PS: Please keep coming here...I depend on this thread to keep me on track.

    Hi Mary. Sorry about ur cold. I think ur committing to going AF just a day at a time is a great strategy! I think the idea of NEVER being able to drink scares lots of us, but just not drinking, today, that's certainly doable.

    Thanx for starting the thread!:goodjob:

        Mary, I plan to keep coming here. I was just having a hard time, almost drank because started to think if I can't drink after my 100 days AF is over might as well just drink now.

        Don't feel like my husband is going to let me drink after the 100 is over so I don't feel like it is up to me which is freaking me out.

        There is a dynamic that if my husband doesn't let me drink I just want to drink more thingy here which is going to make mods difficult. Unless he decides to just let me drink and try mods or I just don't drink around him to try mods. I don't know....sigh. Or perhaps I should just give it up for good because of that dynamic of me wanting to just drink more when my husband won't let me drink thingy.....sigh.

        Anyways I won't drink today and I will keep coming back here. Everything is cool with me and every one else here as far as I am concerned. It is just I almost lost it and drank when I got my focus off just not drinking for 100 days.

        Wow, just realized that the day before Christmas will take me up to the amount of days AF that I have got up to before abs. So if I drink on Christmas I will only make it as far as I have before and no further. Therefore drinking on Christmas is definately out because I atleast want to make it further af than I have before. ( I have made it to 43 Af days before. If I make it through Christmas af that will be 44 Af days, 1 day more than I have ever done before.

        Weird how the timing works out there, had no idea it would untill I counted it out today.

          Deter: I just looked at the alochol spoof ads. Funny but serious. I don't get to watch much TV, but when I do, I notice the alcohol ads. They make it look so convivial, fun, like you can't have any fun without drinking. Yes, for today I will not drink. Mary

          Ros: I'm glad you're coming here. I like what you say...it makes me think. My husband hardly drinks at all, & he's one of the reasons I'm staying sober. It's not because he says: "Don't drink." It's because the drinking got in the middle of our relationship & curtailed the intimacy.

          I feel fine about looking into a future wo/alcohol, but that's me. I know what it does to me & don't like it.

          Stay well & happy. Work on your goals (mod or abs) whatever they might be. Mary

            Just stepping in for a quick hi! HI!!

            Roz, I understand that dynamic completely. When I smoked, I quit when lots of people still smoked. When I took it up again several years later, my husband freaked and started bugging me about it. It made me want to smoke more. Maybe you could try to talk with your husband about it. He can't really stop you from drinking, unless you agree. There are other supportive ways that he can help you.

            Hart, Mary, Deter, hope you all had great days.
            Hugs,:l
