      Hi Katie.

      Well done. I find the first few days are difficult.
      There are a few of us around the 4 day mark. We'll keep it up together.

        I'm here too on Day 4 or so... however, I'm down with flu bug. Gee, this is the first time I can remember feeling ill with it having nothing to do with alcohol. So, although I feel bad, I feel good!!
        Have a good one.

              Morning all and happy Wednesday! - day 10 for me and feeling good. Nice to feel so many happy vibes here!

              Thanks for all your advice re the weekend and the pub opening. Am going to go with lots of visualisation and hypno and following a leaf out of AC's book; to actually WATCH people drinking and to really look at whether they're having a good time - I LOVE people watching so I'm hoping to make it into a bit of fun too - a new experience from this side of the fence! To be quite honest, the people that I have said that I'm not drinking at the moment to have been quite supportive and I think there is maybe just a touch of jealousy there? Who knows; they all drink at least as much as me and maybe they know deep down that they drink too much for their own personal happiness......

              Anyway - have a great day!

                    Good Morning all,

                    Day 4 for me also, ( must be something in the water )

                    Feeling a lot more positive the last couple of days..Applied for lots of jobs...I even applied for a place in university...I just got to the point where i new things had to change....I found last night to be a lot easier coping without the beer..So i'm hoping that i've passed a hump in the road and it should be a little easier for a while.
                    Well fingers crossed anyway..
                    Best of luck to all for today..

                    Love Macks:l
                    I don't care who you are...Your not walking on water while i'm fishing..

                      Hi Macks,

                      You do sound positive today, goodluck to you.....you say you found last night a lot easier, well I think that is because you are now looking towards the future with hope, and you are also making plans, hurrah, onwards and upwards...

                      Take care, Love to you and Lisa, oops, and the children..

                          Good morning all,

                          Olly, your Sunday must have been my Saturday, cause I'm only on Day 3:upset: ! Oh well, so be it! I'll just have to deal with that, but I liked thinking of us being on the same day.

                          I had a passing urge to drink last night after talking to my sister about how I felt my life had become derailed during the end of my marriage and divorce. I have recently become aware of how much I avoid conflict these days, always expecting the worst outcomes, even though it doesn't need to be this way when you're dealing with healthier people. I feel like I have lost so much time, and now I'm 51! :eeks: It makes me very sad, and that brought on the urge. Fortunately, it was short-lived. This time I want to deal with it and keep moving on with my life and not drink it away. I'm tired of drinking away my issues.

                          On the plus side, I had a very productive day yesterday, so I think I might be starting to get my AF groove back, and at 10 pm last night, Maddy came bounding down the stairs and announced that she got accepted in the the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!:happy: Apparently it's pretty difficult to get into when you live out of state. So she's ecstatic, and I'm really delighted for her.

                          A little bird told me that lucky has 4 weeks today. Is that right?
                          CONGRATULATIONS LUCKY!!
                          Keep up the good work, everyone! Take care of yourself Bear, and good luck with all of those applications, Macks!!
                          Anyway, it's off to the shower for me!
                          Hugs,
                          Kathy:l

                            Day 12 here, I had a really good run yesterday and I have been having trouble sleeping throught the night, but last night i slept like a rock, wanted to stay in bed too!!!!! but i had to get up and run this morning, and I did, but i took it a little easier, i pushed it pretty hard yesterday. I am still feelling pretty good, better by the day actually, dont get me wrong, I still have my moments i am just chosing to focus on the moment I like as opposed to those that slow me down...

                            I have you all to that for that attitude...

                            And as of today I and equaled out in the drink tracker for a 50/50 split 12 days on it vs 12 days off....

                            again I have you all to thatnk for that...

                            have a wonderful wednesday I will check back in later...

                            Oh yeah and a big shout out to becca and Paulb

                            Love Victoria

                              My Horoscope for Today

                              This could have a number of relevant meanings in my life right now, but I thought it could also have meanings regarding my alcohol use....

                              The word 'No' has always struck you as a short, sharp expression. 'Maybe' is a sweeter word. 'Perhaps' is a softer one. 'Not at the moment' seems like a much less final phrase. This attitude has its advantages and its disadvantages. It means your life is full of excitement. It also means that you keep getting into trouble. Lately, though, you have been saying 'Yes' to something that you should have been saying 'No' to. You are now being helped to lose what you really do not need to keep.


                              Interesting, huh?

                              Hugs:l

                              Oh, and great work, Newgrl. Love to all the come on later.
                              Also, I notice that others always thank everyone here. I don't always do that, but you DO KNOW that I appreciate each and every one of you, right? I wouldn't have a chance of being sober for one day without all of you and this site. You know that, right? RIGHT? If you don't, I'm telling you now. I'll try and remember to show my gratitude more openly in the future. I've been around for so long that I forget to say so, and I take for granted that you all know how much I appreciate you.
