You can do this... just try to stay in the moment... don't go wandering back into the past and projecting into the future.

Nice that's awesome!

Everytime you challenge the temptation to drink and choose yourself over it... YOU get a little stronger. Good job and hang in there honey.

Well, I've been treating myself. Last night was Taco Bell.
I'll probably gain som weight, but what the heck. Like my beer didn't have any calories.

Sugasnaps · 02-02-2006, 10:18 AM

YUM! I hear ya... alcohol is empty calories. At least the ones you are consuming now give your body nourishment!

Hi OnceNice,

I'm Steve, an alkie from England, Today's my 4366th day without alcohol thanks to AA, Today is the only day that I need to worry about because, Yesterday is History and Tomerrow's a mystery, but Today's a gift......thats why it's called the Present.

Please keeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Coming Back because it does get better, and better. and it say's in the Big Book, "Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friendsâ€”this is an experience you must not miss. We know you will not want to miss it. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives. "

I love that part of Chapter 7.

Congratulations for not taking that first dring Today.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Coming Back

OnceNice · 02-02-2006, 10:51 AM

Thanks Steve. Wow! I can't imagine having the days you have.
That's neat

STEP ONE: We admitted we were powerless
over alcohol -- that our lives had become
unmanageable.
"We know that little good can come to any
alcoholic who joins A.A. unless he has
first accepted his devastating weakness
and all its consequences....The principle
that we shall find no enduring strength
until we first admit complete defeat is
the main taproot from which our whole
Society has sprung and flowered." c. 1952, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, pages 21-22

miss communicat · 02-02-2006, 12:05 PM

Woo Hoo!! OnceNice/Still Nice!

I was prayin for you last night, and am still pulling for you to get through today without drinking.

Its true, you'll get stronger each day.

Keep coming here, and consider AA meetings too.

OnceNice · 02-02-2006, 12:21 PM

Thanks Miss C.
I'm trying to decide what to do tonight instead of drink.
I am kinda having a hard time sleeping though. I wake up all night and then in the day I'm soo tired.
I felt shakey in the morning, but its kinda gone away, which surprises me since I don't drink in the morning, just at night.
Anyway, I must admit I got the urge today, but Im gonna really try. At least my eyes aren't so red. I'm tired of the Visine. Besides I drank so much I don't think the Visine ever really worke.d

To tonight.

collinsmi · 02-02-2006, 01:08 PM

Why not hit a meeting? I found I couldn't stop drinking unless I did something about it. Hitting AA meetings was a start, but after a while I had to do something else, so I got someone to show me how to work the steps, and started working them. That combo has kept me from drinking alcohol for almost 9 years (Feb 5th will be my birthday)!

janeeyre · 02-02-2006, 02:14 PM

OnceNice!

Well look at you! You're doing it!!!

I am so happy for you.

Glad to see you here,
Jane

OnceNice · 02-02-2006, 02:22 PM

Thanks Jane. Getting close to going home.
Night time is the hardest, but I must admit. I love coming on here the next day and telling you all that I did it! It does feel good.
Maybe this will give me the incentive to walk into a meeting, you know. How everyone is supportive and all

If you want support to just walk in the meeting, I did it on my own, but if you need me to drive there and take you to a meeting I can do that!!! Just let me know and I am at your service.

Love Vic

OnceNice · 02-02-2006, 03:54 PM

Thank Vic. That's cool!
Well, Its almost 5:00 here. I'm getting ready to go home.
Wish me luck all. Maybe I"ll get to have 4.

**CarolD** · 02-02-2006, 04:48 PM

We are all pulling for you....

Sugasnaps · 02-02-2006, 04:58 PM

If I wore a pink tutu and danced around to Cindy Lauper music chanting for a 4th day for OnceNice would it help?!?!!! I'll do it! I really will!

Keeping you in my thoughts, Nice. {{hugs}}
