    Reaching for the stars - after a good kick up the ****!!!

    Hi Scotlass; good to hear from you. So you got a new dog? Puppy? That will keep you distracted and give you plenty of exercise.
    I didn't get my swim in today - got to 7pm and thought a chicken curry and rice sounded like the better option. I have been eating far too much this week.
    Tonight is the first night I've had those 'feck it, have a drink' feeling. One daughter is at the cinema, the other out for the night and after working hard all day and having a nice, clean house, I ................well, you know.....
    So, came on here to look for Byrdies post at the start of this thread. Gonna re-read it now and try and summon up some strength.

      Reaching for the stars - after a good kick up the ****!!!

      Hey all! The day after a birthday is a little bit low....at least for me. I my birthday is the last day of the month, and the next day it's as if the world forgot about me..it's a whole new month and people have moved ON! Bahahah.
      Daisy, those thoughts will always creep in...this is Dick Head (Addiction Head.) You must fight it off...that voice will lead you right into the pit of a hell hole. Just read around a little from the folks who had 4-9 days and blew it, they could string themselves up for caving! It's NOT worth it. All those feelings of hopelessness come right back in....don't fall for it...it's a trick! You will not feel better, or more relaxed or unwound, you will feel worse!
      In the morning when you get up, you will feel like a million pounds sterling! (or whatever you use for money!!) These thoughts are part of the journey and you must get thru them to get over them!! Fight with all you've got! Protect your quit at ALL costs!!! I believe in you! B

        Thanks Byrdie; needed that.
        Oh, and we are pounds sterling! So, I'll suck it up and set my alarm nice and early.
        Even though I am already full, I have just eaten a Magnum ice-cream to try and get that sugar fix.

                        You are way too funny!!! When I was walking the dog, I was thinking about flat bums - mine used to be cute many moons ago, but it has totally lost all shape - must be age, or sitting on it too much! My 13 year old suggested i try shape wear! I told her once upon a time I was just as perky as her and she almost died - perky all over - I am not a G but not too badly off, its just they need help to look like much any more!
                        Have a great nights sleep you two, it is almost 3pm just now, so I still have the hard bit to do.
                        My dog is new to me - i rescued him, they told me he was 3, but I think he is much youndger, and yes he was part of my new life - single, new home, dog and supposed to be AF - that bit is coming, along with the financial stabilty bit.....
                        Thansk for the laughs!!! Will see if my gilrs left any Magnums that I will enjoy with a BIG smile tonight whilst you guys have sweet dreams....:thanks:

                            Scotlass; you will get there. You are setting yourself up. I am with you for AF August - let's do it! I have spent any AF time over this past year and a half taking small steps towards building up my sober life. Also, in order to maintain anything - studies, artwork, gym, swimming, seeking employment, and most of all, relationships and peace of mind - alcohol simply has no place. It would bring everything I have worked so hard on, just tumbling down.
                            I am back on top this morning. Cannot believe I even had that thought last night - it is alien, but it was there. I want to log each step of me getting my life back for good.
                            '199days' posted a link this week for Rational Recovery which I have checked out - I have found it so helpful in changing the way you see a craving or drinking thought. It is about changing the 'I' into an 'It' when a thought comes along - 'It' is the beast. 'It' is the one craving alcohol. If 'It' is not fed, it will get weaker.......well worth a read for anyone who is interested.
                            I didn't feel like I was going to cave last night - I had no reason to leave the house - but I have to say I was shocked because of the feelings I have had of total acceptance that I live a sober life.........those fecking thoughts can just sneak their way in, no matter how strong you feel........posting here and getting great responses from my 'oul muckers brought me back very quickly to reality.
                            Well, anyway, done and dusted now and back to my rocking sober normality.......going for a swim in an hour.
                            Tonight, I have to go meet a youth group who need help with artwork they are doing at their club. I'm not sure what it is yet so I'll keep an open mind......
                            Have a cracker day all!
                            Oh, just realised today is 1 week mark....haven't really been counting but nice to know..

                                Morning all; I didn't get my swim in yesterday, and had a bit of a tired, feeling like shit day instead; it lasted all day and with my meeting cancelled, I ended up going to bed at 11.30pm.
                                Now, this may sound like a 'downer' post, but 'no'. I have not been in bed that early for 2 years, so my body clock re-set must be working! I put yesterday down to possible hormones and my body readjusting. I am up this morning at 7.30am - another great result.
                                My exercise is being interrupted slightly with family duties - have to bring my dad to hospital again today as he needs to have his bloods re-checked before his op.
                                I may get to the gym this afternoon, depending what time we get home.
                                Scotlass on day 10 now, me day 8 and Mauri day 6 - yeeha! Progress, progress.......and more to come!
                                Byrdie, I am listing some things I do and some are 'good intentions'.....will get there. Thanks for the support. 'Rinse and repeat' - I like that one!
                                Another sunny day in Ireland - doesn't it just make life great when we get a sunny start?!!!
