Don't feel ashamed NTS. I think it's good to talk about it and shine a light on our inner demons.

It's very common for our inner addict to manifest itself in different ways.

Just like you stay strong and don;t give in to your cravings for alcohol, so it is with pills...play the tape through.

Think about who you want to be

I sat and trembled and cried my first 3 as meetings. The support there and here helps. People care about you. Hang in there. you may need to try a few before you're comfortable. Hang in there.

So I took my family out to eat today at buffalo wild wings.. I didn't think I'd be tempted by the alcohol at all, but it was all over the menu and I was thinking "everyone orders a drink with their meal, why shouldn't I?".. thank goodness I prevailed. Day 14 is a wrap!

Anewpage I share the one week milestone with you. Congratulations! Congratulations to all the other milestones too. They are significant for sure.

Today was a little rough with anxiety. I didn't do much except try to read about what I'm going through. I'm going to try to do some yoga. I didn't sleep last night so the tiredness is surely adding to it. Tonight I'll get sleep I'm willing to bet.

I agree NTS.

Almost like there is strength in numbers. We are all working towards a common goal. Inspiring indeed.

Ok. I can't count!
I had my last drink on May 11th.
I had my first sober day on May 12th.
If I count it one way this is day 14.
If I count it the other way tomorrow is day 14. Someone help!

Depends if you want to count from the day of your last drink when you committed to sobriety, or the first day you were sober Gwen...both ways have their supporters

I'm going to go for today as Day 14.
Honestly, you'd think I'd never done this before!

Hi everybody just joined this morning and really want to quit. As they say I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. So let me put this in print "I will not drink today" Hope to report tomorrow that this happened!!
