Day 1

[icanchange]

Today I will not drink. I will refuse to listen to the voice in my head that says I need, want, or enjoy alcohol. Instead I will focus on those things good in my life and which alcohol has begun to destroy. Just for today I will not drink and will concern myself with tomorrow when it is here.

I read my personal e-mail before starting this thread and a website I belong to (beliefnet) had sent me an e-mail on living the serentity prayer. It could not have been a better start to my day. Today I will keep my focus on "living the serentity prayer". I will change those things I can and let go of those I cannot change.

Day 1

Thank you, Mario, for your suggestions. I have checked out the site and plan on enlisting any tools that enable me to avoid alcohol. Today begins day 2 for me. Don't feel very good because of lack of sleep but again I will not drink today. I know sleep will come in time. My plan today is to stock up on lots of water and juices to help with the cravings. I am concerned only about today. Alcohol is a poison to me and I need to look at it as such.

Day 1

My first day!

After drinking a bottle or two of wine a night for the past 15 plus years I am committed to quit for good. I am embarrassing myself and children. Setting a horrible example. Had to make sure my car was in my driveway this morning because I forgot the drive home down my block. Only to find that I chipped the paint off my husbands from bumper. Don't remember that either ... Or going to bed. Can't remember NOT having some sort of hangover. Loading up on amino acids. I CAN do this.
Enough!
