    My Story By Kairos

    Got 6 weeks today and feeling positive.
    I don't yet feel like a non drinker but booze is definitely taking a back seat in my mind. I don't think of it very much except every morning when I post here and then occasioanlly when my husband has his daily glass or two of wine with his evening meal. But I don't feel deprived of anything or sorry for myself like I did last time I gave up. I think I have definitely got it that I can't do booze and good health and the latter is more important to me. I can only hope I am able to continue this line of thought and that I don't start thinking that just one won't hurt.
    Anyway thaat's my thought for the day.

          Great work, Kairos. Keep going. We are in this journey together and you are my comrade in arms.

          I am feeling exactly like you do. Booze is no longer a priority in my thinking now, but exactly at this point we should be extra careful. Let's not let complacency creep in. We have worked quite hard to come to this point of six-week sobriety. As Hippy           rightly said, we are healing. Let the healing continue apace.

          :l

            Thanks for the good vibes Hippyman and Floridaboy.
            Like you, Beherenow, I aim to be extra careful in the next few months.
            You're right. Complacency is the last thing we need.
            Having each other to remind us of that is good.
            I can't believe how little room booze is occupying in my psyche.
            That feels like something different and postiive this time, but I also know I need to be on my guard nonetheless. Have a great AL free day you'all

                I'm new here at MYO, but I'm a VERY experienced "old hand" at drinking! Best to you---your story resonates!

                  Hi Beherenow and O fortune,
                  Update!!
                  Day 61 and though I may not be going STRONG like I was, I am still hanging in there.
                  The reason I say that is because it has been quite hard this week to watch hubby open a couple of bottles of wine and enjoy them-not so much jealousy involved that I would want a glass however.
                  I do feel that I might have learned my lesson, but I also know that recovery can be a bumpy road. I can't expect a smooth ride all the time so I'm prepared to put up with some rough ground every now and then. Also, It hasn't helped that I have binged on cholcolate in the last few nights. That sucks though It nice at the time I am NOT going down the road of chocolate dependency as a substitute for booze -so I aim to cut that out toute suite!
                  I am exercising as much as possible- cross training when I can - walking, spot of running, gym, swimming, zumba trying not to overdo it is difficult for me though.
                  By and large sleep patterns are MUCH better, mood is MUCH better. The awful gloom that hung over me when I was doing a bottle of red wine a day has vanished and in its place my old sunny disposition has returned (This from my husband!)
                  So really, on the whole it's all good and I am very gratefyl for the moment of Grace.
