Missed my regular morning sign in...slept in after a late night out with my teenage son and his friends - so nice to be sober and have the ability to drive him around and have some fun at any time of the day! Had a busy day today, but a good one. Just getting on the computer now to sign in for 24 - 6:45pm Sunday.

Hi So Glad you could join us. Please sign in and commit to staying clean and
sober for the next 24 hours. Just post your local time.
Please sign in only once daily as this is mainly a sign up sheet what will make

Thank You!

I have asked liberated to share her story with us. A great story that reminds me of how difficult it was to
detox from alcohol but so great to be free as she says of that demon.
Hi, My name is liberated,
Beer and I go WAY back- so does my anxiety disorder. From as early a time as I can remember the beer could (seemingly)
calm me through the very worst anxiety or panic.
When my child developed colic and the screams became too much I found it calmed my nerves then too.That's alcohol's
demon nature, I found- to try and make you believe the very worst fear or anxiety provoking moments
in life could be cured with a sip of its' magic.
The occasional beer became an every night beer and then that became 8 or 9- we all know how it goes.I never could bring
myself to enjoy hard liquor or even obtain a buzz from wine.
In my rare moments when I'd find myself (GASP) low on beer or OUT- (Worse still)- I'd try something else- only to have a
headache or some weird angry streak rise up in me. It just wasn't beer.
This was my life, then- for 10 years. Work, children- race home to have that drink- pass out asleep- awaken in the middle of
the night overcome with panic- drown the shakes with coffee in the morning and count the hours until the next drink.
I KNEW I had a problem and tried stopping several times, only to talk myself back into that first damn drink. Until last year.
I don't often go to the doctors, but had a rash from a soap that just wouldn't go away. They took my blood pressure and it
was sky high AND my shakes were apparent to the nurse practitioner.
She never said much about it other than if I smoked or drank I should quit to reduce both. Sure. No problem. Lip service.
I said Give me the (#@$%*) cream for the rash. I did not think about it much until the next day at Mass.
I was always Catholic, but never real devout , but for some reason that morning I found a drive within me and there, in
that pew, hatched a plan.
Five days later the kids were going to be with their dad, overnight. So I made that detox night number one and went
into the living room to face it all.
Should I have had medical help? Absolutely, but I was stubborn and completely embarrassed.That first night I don't think
I really slept more than 30 minutes at a time.I tossed and turned and stared at the darn clock.The sweats were bad
and that head ache- went on and on and on.
Day 2- looking like hell and unable to quench my thirst I downed cup after cup of coffee and gatorade and water. Food
disgusted me. Shakes were unending and I felt like I was getting the flu. Kids returned very late and I was happy to be
heading to bed at the same time.
This time I slept, but woke up twice to change a drenched night gown.Those 2 days were the worst and I have promised
myself to never go back. NEVER. 3 more days of headaches, nausea and weeks of fatigue- and I am free of that demon.
8 months on the 27, a date I share with the dear Deeker, who is 9 months ahead of me.
On that note- dear Deeker I will miss you so very much. I want to publicly thank you for bringing me back when I failed
to post, for always remembering to cheer each milestone on- and being a friend to everyone who has needed one.
Please come back to say hello from time to time. I wont forget you.
Thank you liberated I am sure we can all relate to your story, thank you for being a part of my journey as well. I believe God
heard you in church that one day. I'll be around for awhile.

Planted 6 roses and 17 other perennials in my 2 flower gardens today. Then added 3" of mulch. I stood back and looked at it all and thought....no way I could have done all that hung-over! So sweet to be sober and get wonderful things accomplished! Another 24 please at 8:42 in NY.

from that drink and or drug for the next 24 hours.
It's 24 hours. You can do this!!
We appreciate if you sign in on this thread just once daily as this is mainly a

Everyone may again begin signing in for this New 24. Roster will be posted 24 hours
from now at 10 pm EST USA 5/19.
This passage from Melody Beattie's book The Language of Letting
Go.
Letting Go of Worry
What if ....we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today
will work out fine?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be
worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time?
Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now we'd be grateful for
that problem, and its solution?
What if . . . we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that everything that's happening, and
has happened, in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our
best interest?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that the people we love are experiencing
exactly what they need in order to become who they're intended to
become?
Further, what if we had a guarantee that others can be responsible for themselves,
and we don't have to control or take responsibility for them?
What if . . . we knew the future is going to be good, and we would have an
abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way?
What if . . . we knew everything was okay, and we didn't have to worry
about a thing? What would we do then?
We'd be free to let go and enjoy life.
Today, I will know that I don't have to worry about anything. If I do worry, I
will do it with the understanding that I am choosing to worry, and it is not
necessary.
