    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    hi everyone, after all the help and support i recieved recently i stated that big changes in my life were coming soon, that time has now arrived.

    Starting from tomorrow, monday 3rd september ive decided to keep a daily diary for the whole month of september. Its going to consist of a brief nightly update on how im doing alcohol-wise, how im feeling, how much im saving, ect, you'll get the idea when i post my first diary tommorrow night.

    This is going to be based on truth and honesty, if im drinking then i'll tell you im drinking, no point in lying to you's or myself.

    Just in case anyone's curious im doing this with no meds or supps, simply because i never bothered to get any. I tried campral back in may and it never worked for me, although i do understand it has worked wonders for others.

    So the next 28 days is going to be... well i honestly dont know but we'll soon start finding out.

    Thanks for reading.. enough is enough.
    Bright.
    ps, good luck to myself, lol

                ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

                Hi bright..........the daily diary sounds like a fantastic idea......it can allow us to identify the precise excuses (I now refuse to call them reasons, as all my reasons were mere excuses) why we seek solace in the booze in so many different situations.

                Sounds like you`ve reached the point where you really are disgusted with yourself, as I was when I finally decided AF was my only way out. That self-loathing truly was the turning point for me..........I couldn`t have despised myself any more than I did........I just got to hate what I was doing to myself and those dear to me.

                I think your point about honesty is most valid, as we can sometimes successfully lie to others about our drinking, but we cannot lie to ourselves..........what would be the point??

                As you say, your diary will identify some of the "why" of your drinking, but you will also enter a whole lot of positive stuff there, such as how much you`ve saved and all the little achievements and joys that cause us to begin to like ourselves again.

                I think you really should give consideration to the supps again........I didn`t start taking them until my 4th. wk.........I was feeling particularly drained by then and find they have helped me considerably. I think it takes a long time for any recovering alcoholic to return to optimum health and think we need to give our bodies and brains as much help as we have available to us.

                I really never thought I would ever be able to sit here and type that I`m 5 wks. sober........I could never envisage that I would quit. I can honestly say that it`s the most difficult challenge I have ever set myself in all my adult life, but if you want sobriety enough...........it really is there for the taking.

                Wishing you enormous strength and love,

                  Mike,
                  Everyone has the strength to do this, only sometimes we have to dig so very deep to find our strength.

                          Hey bright,

                          I read your blog and well done for the af and the swim

                          I don't know how often you used to drink, but going by your money saved calculation you would save ?3500.00 a year if you usually drank those beers every day.


                          Wishing you the very best,

                          Kitty
