Class of February 2018 Support Thread Pt 3
It’s a new day one iwilltryagsin, but you achieved so much with that 1 1/2 years and you proved to yourself that you can do this. Good that you’re keeping your belly full, that and playing the tape forward work for me. I lifted the plan below from a member. It’s short, but I think it’s effective.
1) Never drink alcohol again. Not one sip. Ever. Alcohol has no place in my life anymore
2) If I find my mind romanticizing the idea of alcohol in any way shut down that thought immediately. Should a craving grow come immediately to SR and ask permission to drink alcohol
3) Visit and post on SR at least once every single day

Hi All, I am back after a while. I had posted here sometime back. This is my second day coming to an end. It's evening. I got chipotle instead of drinks on my way home. I am eating right now. Taking one day at a time. I need support. Thank you all very much. Have a peaceful day...
Hey everyone!! Sad day of yesterday is over in regards to the 3 year anniversary of my lil' cousins death. His mom spent the entire day graveside. Since I couldn't be there I sent pizzas! Isaiah would have loved that!!
So onward and upward with life. So here is a sort of funny story. My sister just got out of prison a few months ago. She served 2 years for spitting in a cops face. Yeah don't ever do that... So she has landed a job at a convenience store in downtown Raleigh. Pretty sketchy area. So some poor soul comes in there yesterday and tries to steal. Bwahahahaha... He didn't know who he was dealing with!! Two years in prison and you get a backbone and def don't tolerate stealing. She said she made him put the stuff back and scared the living **** out of him. hahahaha pick another store buddy.
How is it going today IWTA?

Great story, Sunshine. How funny!!
I’m glad you got through yesterday safely. I was slightly worried about you. Someone I know recently committed suicide (or passed via accidental death, depending on who you ask), and I know that I had thoughts of using the liquid to get through it, so I’m just glad that you made it through.

My thoughts are with you Sunshine, you’re doing fantastical ! ! !
I’m taking my brother out for his birthday tomorrow to see Get The Led Out (Led Zep cover band). They sold out the theater and I have to buy tix from stubhub. It’s worth it for my bro, should be fun. I’ll stay over his place in Rye, NY and chill with my niece and nephews.

JCNY-meanwhile I'll be sitting at my sisters halfway house playing family feud with a bunch of female ex-convicts. lol We can compare stories. They are all very nice ladies trying to get their lives together.
So that show will be killer! Your brother is a lucky duck.

Good evening everyone, thanks for all the support and comments. I had successful two days, Today is 3rd day night. I am holding well. I had thought of drinking that hit me in the afternoon from no where. I distracted myself. I will check back tomorrow. Have a great night.

Thanks SS72 and all...
3 days no drinks...small step...long way to go...I will stay in today and I will stay sober. Fridays and weekends are my biggest weakness. I will fight it thru. Just one day at a time...one moment at a time.
Any plans you guys have for the weekend?

WARNING:
Consumption of the liquid inside this bottle may indeed lead to a very SHORT-TERM feeling of relaxation and euphoria. However this feeling is short-lived and temporary! LONG-TERM effects may include highly regrettable sexual interludes, tossing your cookies, black-outs, alcohol induced late-night carb binge eating sessions that lead to spare tires and the dreaded muffin top. Hilacious hangovers, looking like complete dog ****, decreased energy equating to frittering away countless hours in bed recovering (might as well cancel that yoga class, gym visit, morning hike or whatever other healthy activity you planned for tomorrow), the oh-so pleasant morning-after emotions of dread, fear, sinking regrets, embarrassment, self-loathing, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, as well as those unexplained bruises, And it would be negligent not to mention the medical consequences of liver damage, high blood pressure, increased chance of stroke & breast cancer... basically a recipe for early death. This socially accepted substance will rob you of your health, happiness, and peace while simultaneously crushing any possibilities of reaching all your hopes, dreams, and goals. So before you pour that glass of wine to "chill-out, relax, fit-in, have fun", or whatever your reasons are for drinking this poison, please ask yourself this one question,
"Is it really Fu@%king worth it?"

I've posted this before not sure if you caught it but it sure helps as a reminder. You can change wine for whatever your drink of choice is:
