      hey guys, just checking in! Hey becca hows it going, I'm sitting here at work bored out of my mind, system is broken so I can't do anything. I have been searching around into areas of blogging on here today, wow a lot of stuff. I was just thinking to myself after reading some things how many of you are close friends, I think that is amazing! I look foward to joining the crew, again tommorow will be day one and I have armed myself with all the necessary tools, going to the doctor on monday to admit my little habit, and hopefully all is well with everyone, I am sure i will be spending a lot of time in here fr-mon, so anyone who is bored is welcome to come check in on me and my craziness!! Yippee!

          Hi everyone.

          Good to hear from all of you. You are all keeping the drink tracker busy. I'll have to go check it out!

          Hey Becca.....good to see you here. Are you still running? I've noticed that the weather there has turned colder.
          I got a call from my grand-daughter and she said it was colder and would I like to buy Girl scout cookies??
          It really is hard on them because they all were born in the south and the lack of sunshine bothers esp my daughter-in-law.
          You hang in there....Rome wasn't built in a day. I too like the honesty thing!:l

          Kathy.................teenagers!! We had a preacher that said "when your child turn 13, you should put them in a barrel and feed them through a hole.....then when they turn 16.....PLUG THE HOLE until they turn 21...
          It has been my personal experience that it may not be a bad idea.
          It does get better!
          It DID feel good the other day to yell back at my hubby instead of turning to a drink! We're at our condo until Sunday. If we yell here the neighbors will call the police! :H

          You're in my thoughts and prayers.
          Nancy
          PS....Belle doesn't like it here....nothing dead to roll in! LOL

          :h and :l to everyone. Day five here....again...

            Hey Paulb... I am having the same thing as you are. I was wondering what was up with it as well. I actually thought maybe I was coming down with a bladder infection or I was preggo again. LOL You are on day 15 - I am on day 13. Must be what Lori said. Our kidneys are probably starting to work properly again and are getting rid of the excess fluids in our systems. The body is amazing isn't it?

            Becca, I know that "I drink because I can" thing.... did that myself a few times. With your being honest with your husband about it, will only help you beat this in the long run! Good for you!

            To the rest of you - good job!

              I was just sitting here thinking about all the crazy things that stop me from not drinking, i mean the excuses that pop into my head, you know, everyday i say i won't drink, and then i make an excuse. I am sitting here laughing at myself over one excuse i have used, one day i saw a spider in my apartment, i convinced myself that since seening this that there is no way i could possibly go to sleep after that, so i must drink to avoid going crazy, wow, amazing what we come up with when faced with giving up a vice.

                    I agree that the drink tracker has been inspirational for me. I look forward each day to adding my yellow and my zero. But Irish Lady, I, too have been inspired by your dauntless run on zeros. You are my Zero Hero. I have one for each day this month and a bonus in my pocket of December 31st.

                    Here's something I am worried about...I have no cravings. I have been listening to the hypno tapes, especially the sleep tape, every night. I have no cravings at all... for some reason this makes me nervous. Has magic happened? Is there a demon hiding inside me waiting to explode out in a binge? Has anyone else experienced this - anyone with lots of sobriety?

                        Macks, I know I sound like a broken record when I say this but focus on all of the AF days you have done. Might not be exactly where you want to be, but it sounds like it is a helluva lot better than where you have been in the past. Not excusing whatever you did tonight but there is nothing you can change about it now. Hope you are okay tomorrow!!!!
                        I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

                          Yes, Macks. Just as Lush said. All of those AF days count for a lot! Just hop back in here tomorrow.

                            mack,
                            Wake up tomorrow and put your cowboots back on. You fell of the horse, now it's waiting for you to take it for a ride again. Good job on the past success. Tomorrow is all start of a another day, with good news for us all to share.
                            Becca, understand the hubby being gone... I would be in the same boat. Very tempting to say the least.
                            Aleast, being honest is a great step. Take care everyone...

                              Evening All,
                              I am back on day 1 as I drank a whole bottle of wine plus one extra glass last night. What bothered me most was the fact that I was not really hung over this morning.

                              So, I finally decided this was a sign that I should go to AA. I attended my first meeting today and much to my surprise, I enjoyed it!!! I will continue to attend at least 3 meetings a week. I know I should go to more but can't find the time for everyday although when starting out they recommend daily meetings. I went to an all women's group and they were, surprisingly, just like me!!!! It's a big step for me but I really want to put 0's in my drinktracker. I guess,as of right now, drinking is no longer an option for me.

                              I look foward to continuing this journey right along with you great people.

                              Kathy,oh how I can commiserate about teenagers. I just read a funny book by Nora Ephrom. She wrote, "Remember when you have teenagers to keep a dog in the house. That way someone will always be happy to see you when you come home" Thank God for my two dogs!!!!!! Hang in there!!!!

                              Have a good evening.

                              Janet

                                Macks.
                                Don't be too hard on yourself.
                                I know that I would rather have a drink every ten days than every single day.
                                You're doing well. Keep that in mind when you start back tomorrow.
                                Janet. Good Luck with the AA. I tried it a few years ago. The people were great. I was just too big a coward to carry it through.
                                Katiesmiles, abby, Birdman. Keep it up. You're doing great.
