Monday 5th May

Good morning to you all, on this glorious May morning!!!

Happy Birthday Loppy!!! And welcome Rainbow! This is a great place to be!

And thanks all for your inquiries into my well being. It was a hellish 3 days for me, but yesterday was alot better - and managed to stay AF despite the challenges put my way. I even managed to sleep marginally better last night. I did wake many, many times, but no nasty dreams or shivering or anything and the headaches are dimishing. And, I woke up so darn happy this Day5 AF morning. Ate breaky, was upbeat and laughing (much to my beau's chagrin as he didn't sleep well , what with his shoulder pain and all). I just hope this feeling lasts. Always, when I feel really good,that is when I think it would be great to drink some wine. But not this time. No No No. I feel too good to wreck it!

I have to get right to work here. I will try to be really productive today for a change. I wasn't as productive as I could have been this weekend, as I felt rather wretched alot of the time, but I am looking forward to better times ahead!

Tata for now!!!

Cowgal,

There's nobody I am happier to welcome than you. You probably don't remember but you were the first to welcome me when I joined a few months ago. Meant a lot to me.

I like your resolve.

I am having a bad day - I might have to take my ex back to court. I am terrified. But I have to have my child support money. So I'm thinking that a nice glass of wine would settle me down. But I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. Because I'm not going to let all this stuff ruin my perfectly good life. And that 21 days to make a habit, I think that's true. And I can just be afraid and shake with fear all day. I don't HAVE to pour alcohol all over my feelings.
I am feeling proud of my month so far!!

Lila,

Drinking when fighting with my husb was a big trigger for me. One day while he was angry I just started thinking "he cannot make me drink"...Helped me overcome that trigger (still does actually)

You sound determined and you know that is most of the battle

Lila, you can go without AL, no matter how bad it gets, I feel the same way, am not EVEN looking forward to going home, that is not a normal, good feeling, huh???

I hope and pray you can stay AF tonight, as I will be thinking of you as I fight my own battle, will be on here again tomorrow, as I only get here while at work...........sad, but Mike doesn't like the site, kids are always on pc w/ homework etc..............

Talk to you tomorrow, hang in there all you (US) who are having a rough one.............

Hey all,
Glad to see every one here.

Happy Birthday Loppy!

Janice, I understand what you are saying about being a non drinker,
and I love the sentiment, but I am not there yet, personally. I find
myself thinking about it entirely too much, much more than a non drinker
would.

It's no big deal, but it is one of those desire test things that one has to
acknowledge with " Oh you again... No I don't want to play so please leave me be"

I don't mind telling my old friends " I don't drink any more ", you usually only
have to say it once, but You must remind yourself more frequently, it seems.

Oh when will my sub-conscience get the hint?

with health, Sam
