Morning all on this gloomy, grey, cold Monday here in Cheshire.
Hope you've all had a good weekend and stayed strong. Beginning of another new week, so lets whoop its ass!
Hi Dan and 427, keep at it, we'll get there.
Big hugs

JUST FOR TODAY, I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully - if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it's only around the block

Yes, thanks. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks for me.
If I can do it, ANYBODY can... trust me!
Still enjoying the ride... trying to cure those dizzy, shaky spells I've been having.
Today I did have coffee, but I ate something late morning and I was fine this time.
I do also get these minor headaches late in the day, too.
My body must be in shock.

Hi Dan, 4 weeks is awesome. Kudos. Only a matter of days to a full calendar month! I think the slight headaches and shakey moments are because our bodies are missing all the sugar in alcohol!! It does pass. I'm nearing 70 days now and feel wonderful, really chilled and content somehow!!
Hi Jim, good to see you here. Did you not join the '12 months and under' group? If not get in there!! You too Dan.

Hey Grace....9:00 Thursday here.. morning.
I had a small stuble last night...back to day 1.... got to watch those triggers between 6 and 8!
had some good success over the past several month/weeks. I think I have reached the point where I am ready to give in. Accept that I cannot have even one drink...I am a bit slow in realizing this; but I think I am there.
Glad to be part of SR..

Whoops Jim, the main thing is you're back here still trying. Read my saying under my signature about our greatest glory. That's applied to you, me and everyone else here. Draw a line under it, learn from it and move on. Feel free to p.m me too at any time and that goes for anyone here.

Did it...
Made it to 4 weeks...
It seems that once you get over that initial hurdle, (I'm sure that comes at different times for everyone), it becomes very easy to accept that you don't have your next drink to worry about.
I have a stocked bar in my house. As a test I thought long and hard about how it would be if I made myself a nice Beefeater Martini.
Then I think long and hard about the events that follow that.
- First, the 4 weeks vested would be gone. Why not go an extra day?
- The idea of that poisoned out feeling in the morning is almost too much to bear. This is one of the strongest deterrents in my limited arsenal.
- I want to win. I knock down that inner voice consistently. It's a good feeling.
- I can't tell it I'll never drink again because I would not believe myself if I said it.
I tell it you ain't getting your way right now. You may break me later or tomorrow, but not now. Suffer.
And for 4 weeks, I'm a winner.
Make yourself a winner... some are just starting and some have been winning for longer.
There is no victory in being controlled by alcohol. You'll suffer the biggest defeat of all, in the game of life.
I sound like a preaching idiot. Trust me. I'm no preacher, just spewing thoughts.
Thanks S.R. for being inspiring and letting me know that not drinking can be a good thing and something not to fear.
See you all on the boards!
