You're awfully good at communicating, Birdman. I think you protest too much! Well done on Day 20. I wish you could hold all of us and protect us from harm, too! Since I'm a woman, I can say "lovely", and I think it is really lovely that you feel that way. The warmth and support of the people here is a really strong support. Isn't it great?

Thank YOU for being one of us!

Hugs,
Kathy:l

Hi all...Birdman that was so sweet and well done on 20 days!!

Well today is day 6 for me and iv been ok so far but im really struggling tonight...im so bored and i feel so boring cause im sober..if that makes any sence?!!
Im really battling with myself not to go out and buy alcohol...this is by far the hardest day for me so far, i keep thinking how easy it would be to just go buy some...trying to persuade myself that one night wouldnt be that bad when i know it would. I feel like iv got a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other both tugging my thoughts this way and that....i cant concentrate on anything cause my mind keeps coming back to the thought of drinking.
Im feeling very weak willed at the moment...HELP!!!

Hi Lou.

Go for a bath, read a book, watch a film. Do anything you can to keep yourself busy.
If I can do it, you can do it.:l

Wow- logged on late and had a lot to catch up on in this thread! Good job to you all!!!

Just got back from a long walk to the shopping centre. Man, it is ridiculously COLD out there!! We aren't use the horrible weather with all of these low temperatures and snow. It was invigorating nonetheless! My daughter woke up in a sour mood this morning and was practicing her "Terrible Two" trantrums uch:, so I figured I would get her outside and cheer her up. Did us both a lot of good. She fell asleep at Wal-mart (I could actually get some shopping done - HOLY COW!) and she is still asleep in her stroller! For me, my level of frustration has completely subsided. Ahh.... peace at last! LOL! It is amazing what some exercise can do for you eh?

Day 16 for me. I am starting to really feel in a groove now. For all of you who are back on the horse again - CONGRATS! For you who are building up the strength to start AF - WONDERFUL, you can do it! And for those of you who have days of AF under your belts - AWESOME. And... for those who are struggling, HANG IN THERE!

I honeslty wonder why I never quit a long time ago? The feeling of being AF is absolutely magical!

Nice one Lou, just imagine how bad you'd feel in the morning...I know i did....This is your running partner ordering you to have a chill out night with the bath and the book....I am going to have the bath and then shoot some people in an online game i play..( Call of Duty )...Very immature..but very theraputic...I wish i could spell..

Wow reading all of these posts is so reassuring. Birdman that truly was lovely. I am also stuggling wanting to go get a bottle of wine, thinking I am roasting a chicken and white wine goes so nice. I came on here to read a few jokes and then I came to this thread you don't know how much this helped me put things into perspective. Thank you all very much.
