Hello May!! I joined the April class late, so I would like to start fresh with you all! On day 11 and want to continue into May, life feels good!! |
Made it home without buying booze. |
I'm joining :-) Day 5 for me and I'm the best I've mentally been for a long long long time!Good luck everyone,it's the hardest thing ever but when we beat it how good is it going to feel :-) |
Day 5 for me! Made it to the gym for 2 hours today feeling great! |
The question is will I ever be ready? I'm sat with a Bacardi and coke as tonight is my last child free night (yes probably another excuse) but I want 2nd may to be the start of my new life!! I really do beg you for your support I'm going to need it! Really can't live this way anymore. I can't tell my family or friends I'm quitting because the amount of times they have heard that one they just laugh! Xx l |
So sorry for your loss, SoberForMySon. :cries3: I have two dogs and they are family... Sometimes better than family. We are here for you. |

Banana cake, if you are here you at least want to be ready. Keep trying. Hope you can leave your "Cuba Libre" aside and hang out here with us. Even if you already drank some today, no need to get too drunk and deal with tomorrow's massive hangover and caring for the kiddos. Play the tape ahead. |
I joined the forums today so this will be as good as any month to start. Hope to help others as well. |
Here's hoping we all enter June feeling amazing xxx |

Dee, geez just noticed it. My keyboard was doing the Portuguese autocorrect (I'm Brazilian). I meant "this" journey. Good to have you here! D |
Bananacake - as someone else said at least a part of you is ready to quit or you wouldn't be here :) I love this tale and I think it applies to getting sober too: Here is some great Native American Indian (Cherokee) wisdom: An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” |
I'm lurking from the April class. :c009: I love that quote Dee!! |
I had to save that quote Dee, and I am part Cherokee |
Fantastic quote! Yesterday wasn't easy but made it to day 2! |
I love that story!!! Well I'm day 1 today!!! Let's To this :) |
Yeah it's a really powerful message isn't it? :) have a good day guys :) D |
Nice quote Dee. I think I heard that somewhere before. O.k., I signed up on the weekend thread and I am signing in here too. Day Two for me as I am starting fresh with the month of May. I feel pretty good this morning (much better than yesterday morning when I woke up with a hangover) and have several things planned for the weekend to keep me busy. NOW .... just as long as I don't OVER DO it. Seems to be what keeps holding me back. Projects, sure, just not TOO many. Pacing myself is what is needed I believe and making sure I don't save the whole world (LOL) or take on too much at one time. Meditation is in order should I start getting too far ahead of myself. Slow, slow, slow down. Have a great sober day all. We can make it through today too. One day at a time. :) |
Well this is my first post ever, I've been a lurker here for many years. Today is my first day quitting and I hope by the end of May I can say I finished day 30. Good luck to all you other Class of May. |
Welcome shrutebucks :) D |
