It's hard to keep to a plan when you convince yourself you don't need one. I'm in danger of screwing up big time so I'm back again.
Hi trees. Nice to see ya.

Hi all. Only on day 2 of no drinks. I'm already feeling better! Getting healthy for myself and my kids. Alcoholism runs high in my family, and I need to make a change. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and supporting one another .

Then working out and having a healthy, not-so-delicious smoothie after If I drank yesterday/last night, I would have pushed all the morning responsibilities onto my s/o and gone back to bed. I would not have exercised and eaten like crap all day. I would have lost precious time with my child and s/o. The bills would have been pushed off to another day. The laundry and cleaning house would have been done haphazardly or not at all. I am thankful for another day of sobriety and looking forward to a sober day at the beach with those I love! Have a nice day classmates!
Thank you Ready to do... :-). It sounds like you had a great productive day! Doesn't it feel great to get things done? I am so far ahead with my cleaning and chores!

Good morning, July 17ers! Remember that the first drink is the one that's the problem. Steer clear of it and you never have to worry about drink #2 or beyond.

Good morning class. Welcome to all who have just recently joined. My day so far is going pretty good. Grateful to wake up clean and sober, another day! Im so much better, sober. Its amazing how I still entertain the idea of drinking tho.I hope in time, when I get enuff clean time built up, it wont be this way. I really haven't given myself a really fair shot at long term sobriety, for quite some time now. Time to do it!
