5 days AL free
This is my first post on monthly abstinence thread. I have been a drinker for forty two years and I have decided to go AL free for 30 days. After achieving this it will be longest time dry since I was 17 years old. I passed two tests this weekend beinig at social funcitons with family. In the past I would have definately been drinking. I wanted to drink and had the urge but resisted. I feel great, slept well, emotions in check and proud to be through first weekend of this.

5 days AL free
:welcome: MG72
Sounds like you are off to a great start. I believe every time we don't give in to the urge for AL we are reinforcing a positive change in our brains. It is like exercise, so every time it should get easier. At first I stayed away from drinkers/drinking, but after awhile we need to learn how to live a normal life without it.
MWO is a great program. The book, the supplements, the exercise, the hypnotherapy cd's.... this forum. I really do think at least 30 days AF is the way to start._______________

:welcome: MG72!! Congratulations 5 AF Days! I was a daily drinker too - not many days off in a 30+ year drinking career. Definitely a big change to kick AL to the curb! Hope you will read lots and post often. Look forward to getting to know you better.

5 days AL free
thanks to you all, I love my start to be AL
com1, leelou, suni, peacnik, goggygirl and lvt25,
Thanks so much for writing and the support you have given me. It is wonderful how good I feel after 6 days AL free. The only other time I tried to quit was three years ago. I tried to moderate and ended up in worse place. This time I am going Al free. Over the weekend I read "how to stop driniking" by Allen Carr. There were many things in the book that I found eye opening and valid. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to get out of the vice grip of AL.

the beast is alive but did not win
I have made it a week AL free and it has been real. I have had several occasions where the urge was strong. This happened in situations where I would have drank before. I will stay strong and let the beast die a slow death. I understand time is on my side as long as I do not give in to the urges. I also I have to have a plan to not drink when I am in those type of situations.
Once again thanks for your encouragement and support. It means a lot to me. I wake up each day excited to read your writing and enter my zero on drink tracker.
