Thumbs up Update

This is day 73 for me and I am beyond cravings for alcohol, infact I rarely think about it.
Each night I pray. I turned my alcoholism over to the Lord and I attribute the fact that I am doing so well to the power of prayer.
It is a good thing that I am not drinking as I am on numerous meds for fibromyalgia. 6 of my meds indicate that I should not combine them with alcohol. That wouldn't have stopped me before and I would probably not be around to tell about it.
I have missed a lot of work due to my illness and have had my arm poked for blood so often that I feel like a pin cushion because the doctors think there is more to it than just the fibro. due to my high Rheumatoid factor.
I take one day at a time and am really quite positive. I may not be well, but I am sober and that keeps my chin up.
Thanks for listening.

Suzette

Just having your chin up and staying sober can be an inspiration to the newcomers Suzette. Congrats on your 73 days!

You sound good! It's really amazing what happens when we enrich our lives spiritually. We can accept lifes challenges, do our best, and stay positive, grateful. Best wishes!

In my initial post I failed to mention that all of you here at SR have played a big part in my sobriety. I am thankful for all the support and advise I receive here.
SR and prayer are my program. Without either one I dont know where I would be...

Suzzette that is absolutely awesome, being sober I am sure helps a great deal in treating your fibromyalgia, keep doing what you are doing.
