We need to put that Dragon to rest Firefly. Call out..."Dragon Be Gone"..."I am in God and he is in Me." Although, do yourself a favor when you watch the video, substitute "You the Princess" for the prince. When the King presents the bloodied child, that is actually Jesus who died for our sins. At that point and by the King's grace you are now set "Free." Now firefly, you have no reason to drink. Peace...

its tough. My friend is going through and honestly is having a tougher time even trying to find a way to stop. His motivation for a different life isn't there and its tough leaving him alone while I continue to struggle. 3 weeks plus one day today. yay.

Got into a grad school - however I am not sure if I will leave my job. However, I feel this is inspiring me "to get things together" and stay sober.

Hi class, hope everyone is doing well and pushing through the weekend. Day 12 today for me. Feeling good but still not sleeping properly and finding that I'm irritable and moody. Hoping I start to feel better this week.

Morning Aprilians

Firefly.....I'm sure you'll make your day 1 and go on to add another. Just think about the day you're in and it will come together. Staying around here will help you along

aajajen, charlesg, omd...you guys are doin really well. See you at the end of the month, ok?

NYC....grad school is great. A new direction maybe?


.....I survived Sat night with companion drinking quite a bit over the course of the evening. I want to drink late afternoon but ride it out for a couple of hours and the evening is ok.

Day 26 then...........

Nice goin Can. That's awesome. I couldn't do it at this stage.

Fighting a bit to make the day.
I want to have fun. Been staying busy hanging with my son. Urges aren't bad. Pretty doable. Which of course my dragon tells me I've got this and that its ok to ride on its back today.

Nope. Ain't gonna do it.
None for me today.

Hi incontrol,

You're doing great. A ride on the dragon won't be fun tho. Stick with your son.

hope the two of you have a great day.

In about 6 hours I will have been alcohol free, and I mean free in more than one sense, for exactly 4 weeks. Roll on one month. Going to the gym for the fourth straight Sunday in a row; unthinkable.

Morning All! Great work everyone and congrats on all the milestones. Beautiful morning here - I'm in Sheffield for the weekend, visiting my Mum. When I arrived on Friday she told me she'd forgotten to get me some beers in! :-) Shame! Co-incidence? Yes, but it's still quite funny! :-)
I haven't told her I was stopping for good - there's no need really, not for the moment anyway; just told her I was having a break. Day 16 for me - unheard of!
All the best everyone and enjoy your day!
Cheers

Morning all...day 15 for me. I'm making 2 mugs of tea and back to bed for an hour to read my book. Wonderful feeling to wake up on a Sunday morning without a hangover, pounding heart and severe dehydration. I'm going to the gym at 10.00am for a class....
Stay strong gang we can do this

I like it! I had an old girlfriend from Walthamstow who used to call me Sheff (I'm from Sheffield) Must be an East London thing!

Thank you, much appreciated, I really hope I will see you there!

Congratulations on DAY 26!!! You must feel pretty pleased with yourself and if you don't you should take a moment

Funny how we're all a bit different. I can usually get through the afternoon with less distraction/temptation - it's the evening that hits me.

Have a great day
