I'm in on this. Been browsing the site for the majority of the day... decided to join. Earlier in December, I decided I needed to stop drinking(which leads me to other poor decisions).. I've stopped a few times.

This will be the last time I stop... aka... I'm not starting again.

Hi all class members! i am on day 7 today, been sleeping ok, and no bad things to report, been around family who have been drinking wine, not been tempted as such, to join them but did not feel totally comfortable, have to say they are very moderate in their consumption.
Have a good day everyone!

Slept so well!! Happy to wake feeling refreshed rather than sick and exhausted.
Really enjoying my morning Coffee. Looking forward to getting some exercise and eating better today. Spent some time yesterday trying to think of all of the events I have this month that I might want to avoid because they could be real road blocks. I wish everyone well.

good to have you guys with us too

Hope everyone has a good day!

I am on to day 2, which is no big deal for me except that as part of my quest I am also restarting my fitness regime, which calls for an early start to the day and lots of fitness exercises during the day.
Glad to be back at it but really hate rising early on holidays,
I know I have to sacrifice some to get back to where I want to be.
Have a great day classmates.

Day 2 begins again for me. After not drinking the previous week, then drinking on Saturday, I realized that it just isn't enjoyable anymore.

I'm glad that I realized that. I think the non-interest in drinking will be a big help.

Glad to see more and more folks showing up here. It's encouraging to read your positive posts.

Good morning classmates! I've enjoyed meeting all of you here and am so encouraged by all of you! Thank you, and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Day 12 here; feeling really good! I'm sleeping like a baby; eating well and taking lots of vitamins and milk thistle. My skin looks so much better already and all stomach issues seem to be resolved. I'm going in later this month for blood tests and a physical.

Most importantly, I spent a wonderful holiday with my family and remember it all! When my children search my face when they come home or when I come home, they light up when they see my eyes and head clear. While it makes me sad in a way, I am so grateful for their encouragement and look forward to being a better mother and friend.

We can do this!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to all the new people that joined.

As for me, I flirted with quiting in December and felt really good until the last week. Now I am finally ready - I feel like I did when I quit smoking 13 years ago, after a few years of playing around with the idea of quitting. I think it is time to admit that moderation won't work for me (gee, fancy that folks here were right all along) even though I don't have physical withdrawals. I figured that meant I wasn't hooked, but now I'm thinking that's a flawed theory.

Good luck all.
