Abstinence Today, Join Me?

[belovedconsole]

Right now I'm at the day to day point.

I'm planning to abstain today-- I'm setting up plans to meet someone for dinner so that I have something new to do when I get off work and it involves food and companionship, and by the time I get back home I'll be well-fed and tired, so I will check in here then hit the hay.

Anyone want to join, drop a line!

Hi beloved and welcome to My Way Out! I too will join you and Mary in an Alcohol Free day. Making plans for your "witching hour" and also making sure your tummy is full are both good strategies IMO!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

So where are you going for dinner? I love to cook so would be interested in hearing what's on the menu for tonight! Anything from greasy spoon to gourmet works for me!

O.K. guys- I'm in! Day 5 for me.

Tough last night as the beast was taunting me and I had a bad crave for 15 min. or so. Hit the computer and posted and got some reinforcement. Thank God for MWO!

You've come to the right place.

Welcome Beloved and Cheeky.............Be- put the caution on when you are at dinner. That is usually a trigger for me- dinner and friends and conversation. Settle in with club soda lime or iced tea.

Hang tough-
your ST. J

Count me in too - I'm on day 65 - and I try not to think too far ahead, just one day at a time - why not join us on the AF daily thread, it starts up afresh each morning?

Sausage you are a great inspiration. 65 days! I'm on day 5 and ODAT - sometimes moment to moment.
I like the AF daily too.

Day 3 for me and going ok ..though a little grumpy.

Planning a bubbly bath and bed soon..Thankfully I am sleeping well.

The only change i have noticed physically is i have grown a chin spot..could be a co incidence but i never get spots!!

I,m away for a few days holiday now and not sure If I can get through party weekend in Ireland watching everyone drinking..oh if Only i could moderate and have 2-3 wines and pull out the stop button.

I guess the way my pattern has been its best to try not to drink at all for a while..but i,m sure I will "give it another go at moderating" and then the cycle begins????????

some serious retraining of thought processes is required ..it cant all happen overnight.

So on with the journey into some change however small and I continue to believe in the power of prayer that change is possible for us all.

Good Luck

Hi. having a bad time. Voddy got me last night, something bad happened which I don't remember and hubby is nearly given up on me. I have to stop drinking. It's ruining my life.

I would like to join you all in having an alcohol free day tomorrow. I drank quite a bit last night. I have to stop for myself, but also for my husband and children, as it really upsets them. My goal is to take it a day at a time, but to go a week and then shoot for 30 days.

I look forward to reading everyone's updates here everyday.
Good Luck to you all, we can do this.

I'll join you, cdungan. Day by day and again day by day- that's what makes it work. I was so tempted tonight but thought of the fact that I am on day 17 and I just did'nt want to break the good flow going.
Check back tomorrow-I'll be here

Count me in please. I am on day 23 and I am focused on reaching day 28. That will be a big milestone for me. Once you start adding up those days not wanting to lose them is a big motivator in not drinking.
