Morning everyone!
Firstly I want to wish all my MWO friends in the USA a great Thanksgiving!
As you know, we don't celebrate that over here (England) but I'm paying particular attention to how you all get on (AF wise) as I have a difficult / celebratory / family time coming up too with Christmas and New Year in 4 weeks. I guess this is a time when many are tempted to drink / moderate. I've only just caught up with yesterday's thread as i've not been too well - still suffering with a fluey type cold /achy limbs. shivering etc - hot bath and early night last two nights and no exercise! Not sleeping too well either which is why i'm on line at 04.27 !!
Yesterday's thread was great - really motivated me. Those struggling with the mod concept and trying to fight it today of all days should definitely re-read yesterday's thread. Welcome to the thread Mom of 3 - loved your comment about focussing on what you are gaining not what you are missing with an AF life. I really think this is the key to success and being happy. This is what I am trying to do now and I love this thread because it really focuses on what else you can gain from a life without alcohol. I too have decided that moderation is too emotionally exhausting - and everytime i've tried it, about 3 or 4 within the last year - ( have only been dealing with my problem in the last 11 months) it always ends in disaster and the same drinking patterns as before within days. I too stay well away from the moderation part of the boards.
Well i'd better go as still not feeling too good - its' only 4.35am so I will go back to bed and try and get another hour or so's sleep before the kids wake up!
Have a great AF day everyone, will check back later
