You guys are all awesome!

I am so proud of you and how are supporting each other.

And, please do take Carol's advice and be gentle with yourselves. This is a time of healing for your mind, body and spirit.

One thing that helped me was to get outside after supper and walk. I did it as a way to distract myself, because that was when I would begin drinking. I was surprised however to find many other benefits - I began to feel better physically, I began to notice the neighborhood, the blossoms, the people, I began to 'be quiet' in my mind.

Day 9. I've had a headache the last couple days, I'm not sure if thats related to this or not. I'm sort of feeling sluggish as well. I'm not sure what happened to all the energy I had a couple days ago.

Last nights meeting was not great. It was really crowded, and there were some younger guys behind me making fun of people as they shared and generally screwing around. I know I shouldn't let things like that bother me, but it does. I'm going to try a different meeting tonight. Still, I haven't been 9 days sober in several years, so that is something to build on.

Malcolms, yeah I had a headache on Saturday and Sunday, so far none since. I've also had some fatigue and irritability as well. Not really any cravings, however I find myself thinking about NOT drinking a lot.

Also, I can relate to the "have not been 9 days sober in years"

I had a lot of fun today...didn't get some stuff done..but got some done....

But I feel wierd

i can't even describe it any better than that .... just feel wierd

I guess i don't always like actually being aware of everything....sometimes i'd rather just not have to see stuff...if that makes sense...

not meaning to be a downer...like i said...from a logical perspective..it was a good day

Hi everyone,

My quit date was Jan 1, 2010. Damn I had two weeks before that. Grateful for another sober day. Just got back from a meeting.
Here's something my wife was told by one of her mentors helping her cope with her breast cancer.

Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a Gift
That's why the call it the Present.....................

Day 11.

Doing fine. Working afternoons helps, all I have to do is not buy any alcohol so that when I get home I have no choice if I want to drink or not(since the store is closed) But really I have only had 1 craving in the last 2 days and I just waited till it passed.

I still find myself thinking about not drinking all the time. Something I haven't mentioned yet... I am loving not feeling any shame or guilt or having to hide that I had been drinking.

Somebody just take a bat to my head....ugh....I think I am so smart I need some brains knocked out of my ears...not picky....either ear or both....sorry for the graphic.

I am now about to unavail the answer to the universe......ok not the how big is it one....

Be kind. Give. Don't ask for anything in return. Don't even think about that part. The peace and happiness comes from within not from without so stop looking out there.

Just give love.
