This is the first weekend I've made it through sober in a while. I had to fight off some cravings Friday, Saturday and today but I did it and I'm glad to be sober now.
We have a holiday weekend coming up. I hope we can all make it through. I promised my kids I would take them camping so I can't back out but I am stressing about the trip. My plan is to not put any booze in the cooler and then stay busy fishing, hiking etc.
Anyone else have plans they need to mentally prepare for?

I have been sober off of high dosage of painkillers for 10 days now, im currently dealing with psychological dependency, cravings, temptation, triggers, and the new emotions i know am able to feel.

Do I really need a medical detox or should I just focus not drinking. I did the telephone assessments, have succumbed to the fact that these medical facilities have rules and am scheduled to go in on Tuesday. But should I be focusing in just not drinking? I don't like the idea of being pumped full of meds if I'm not necessarily going to need them. I've put it in my head to abstain.

So went to a meeting tonight and actually spoke... if u k ew me you would gasp cause I am super shy, but felt led as we were reading the big book and Bill's story... needless to say blessed again. Got my 24 hr coin although I am on day 8, it means a lot to me... something to have in my pocket reminding me of the fact that I need to accept the things I cannot change, change those things that I can and the need for wisdom to know the difference between the two. Feeling positive tonite!

Thanks bigC Wow, if you can do the jersey shore I think I can handle a quiet camping trip!
Yep, Dee, just me and the kids, and I'm not taking any booze so I'm thinking I should be good
anewpage - way to get through Day 1. now you just have to repeat that each day...one day at a time!
anewlife - my mom is recovered from a pain killer addiction...please seek help if the withdrawals get too bad, k? she had to go to the hospital to detox.
soberformyson - that had to be hard going to AA and turning in all your chips for the Day 1 chip...but you did it and I think that shows a HUGE commitment. Great job!
minion09 - kudos on Day 7! that's a whole week sober
readytobeme79 - just wanted to say hi and let you know I think you can do it, too
I'll be staying close to SR this week because I know cravings are going to be working me early knowing the holiday weekend is approaching. I want to go into the weekend strong and ready. I hope you all stay close, too, so we can support each other through these early days.

Day 7 done for me. Glad to have made it through the weekend alcohol free, first in a year and half (the last time I tried to completely quit).
Glad you had a good experience Minion, let me know how thing progress for you , I have been debating AA meetings or trying one on one counseling.
Kell, sounds like you have a plan in the works, stay strong!
Anewpage, I read failure only occurs when you stop trying to succeed, keep on fighting , on to day 2 for you!
