Talking Starting over! Day 1 ~~~~~

Got rid of all the beer and today is the day. I cut way back yesterday so I wouldn't have a hangover today. I feel really positive about this today, and I know I will make it through.

P.S. Ann, thank you for my avatar, you are great!!

Sound tj, you know more of the pitfalls this time round so all you gotta do is keep believing that a sober life is worth more to you today than that first drink!
Just stay strong and dont get living any further in your head than today, and no further back than a second ago, kapeech!

Thanks all. I'm going to stick here on SR for the day. Might take a nap sometime too. Been reading since I got up and it helps a ton.

Cool teej, I will be here too for a while. I find reading 'friends and family' forums helps me to remember why I need to quit.

Hey tj,

Hang in there.
I will keep you in my thoughts today.
You were one of the first people to welcome me here.
You do make a difference!

urite tj, hope the mornings going well 4 ya, it must be coming on for 12 midday with you and from memory wasn't that when the jones soda was put away and the lite came out. Be careful tj that there isn't a matchstick lying on the floor waiting to trip you up.k
Stay steady as the day goes on.

chris

I'm doing real good. Getting a little shaky, but drinking tons of water & coffee (i know I know) and I'll make it. Kelly is going to go to the store for me here in a few and pick me up some gatorade and jones soda. That will be nice. ............if he would just get up off the couch!!

It's a b*tch at times, but you're still working. Good job. Almost fell flat on my face today but somehow mustered up the ability to keep it 81 days. It's gonna be an ongoing thing for me. I hope I keep the strength.
