OZ.....change is good......
I too found getting rid of "drinking stuff" important
I didn't have a hat tho.....
I had a bar with 3 stools...special glasses for various toxins
a non drinker who serves no alcohol needs none of that!
Keep moving forward...your making progress

My drinking stuff is packed away because I am in transition living with parents right now but already planning to throw that stuff out when I move in a couple of months. Guess that means I need to throw away my comfy favorite bud light pj pants....

18 days I think it is without putting anything in my body to alter my mood and my mood is the best it has been in well over a month.
Day 18 and I'm happy. Thank you Lord for giving me this moment of peace.
Take care everyone.

That's why I am not saying anything to anyone except for my bf because we are doing this together....we were binge drinkers, go weeks without and then one big night like once a month....outside influences....so we are not going to drink at all anymore...and I share with a good friend in another state and then a co worker who has been sober for 24 yrs and goes to AA...
..
I got rid of the wine and stocked it with bottles of flavored sparkling water.

I don't got the hat... just a bottle of Beam... and when it's gone I know I'll get another... no peace for Bubba...
what I want and what I want aren't even close... I want to be sober... I want to stay sober... I want to be happy being sober... just can't see what was good till I'm tipping the bottle upside down and remembering it wasn't this way, the day before yesterday...
It was good. Well, sure as anything, it was better than this. Sorry if I let anybody down.
Most of all myself.

I'm not let down Bubba. I was you not so long back.
One thing I know is that things aren't gonna get better this way.
They're not even gonna stay the same.
They're just gonna get worse.
And that's not trying to scare you - it's just a fact.
Staying sober, with all it's problems and hassles, is your best option - I hope you get that soon.

Hi everyone!
I just read through pages and it's great to see some new folks and catch up with all of you. I will be back to my laptop on Sat, on which it's much easier to type, so I'll save my comments for then.
But, 30, my heart goes out to you. I echo everyone else's comments...no one is disappointed in you. Like Ananda, just worried...because we care.

(((((((((TB)))))))), I can't stop thinking about you. You may have said b4, so pardon me if my dotage brain is rearing it's head again, but can you give me a bit of background? You are in school, presumably far from your family. Are they supportive of you? Are you close to them? You seem lonely, which is why I ask. If you are young, do you go toany "young people" meetings? Is that an option? I know that transportation is an issue. Are there any options for counseling through the school? Sorry to be so intrusive and tell me to MMOB,but, as trite as it sounds, my heart hurts for you.

Oh... wasn't trying to achieve sympathy or nothing, sorry.
I'm in college several states from home... my family is supportive of me, not AA or school, but they like me just fine, drunk or sober... not really young enough for "young people" meetings. There are a few people my age at the meetings... but they have their own lives too...
I do get counseling.
We're working on friendship. She says it's healthy to want to be around people, which cheered me up a bunch.
Anyways... I'm about 3 hours sober but it won't last... I'll talk to y'all when I make the leap. Take care of y'all selves in the meantime...

Could have sworn I posted here earlier today. I don't remember what I said, not many brain cells left.
Still sober though.
Hugs TB, you know we are not hear to judge you we are here to support you. It's unanimous, you didn't let anyone down. We are in this together and we are all on your side.
It's getting late for me.
Nite yes I can thread.
