Toomutch

I left the doctor today and didn't like a thing he had to say; I guess I was looking for a quick fix. I counted the liquer stores that I passed on the way; saying to myself " one little bottle of vodka couldn't hurt".

Fortunatly I turned on KLOVE christian radio station and it brought be home safely.

I'm still in a irratable mood; but I didn't drink.

Thank each and everyone of you; I couldn't wait to share my accomplishment!

Well done! Those impulses can be so sneaky and powerful, and I'm glad you made the right choice.

Hi Toomutch,

I think the fact that you're hearing what the dr said, even though you didn't want to listen to it, is a really good thing.

Excellent! Be proud of your accomplishment.

I couldn't stand those know-it-all doctors telling me to quit drinking, so I'd slow down or stop for a week or so, then hit the bottle hard again.

No regrets considering the beautiful life I have now, but if I'd listened sooner the damage might not have been as extensive.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us all - each time you are able to get past these urges/cravings, you'll be that much stronger for the next time.
You're doing great - keep going!

Way to go...Too Much.

Jump those hurdles each day...

The ones you can't jump..

Move them out of the way...

The ones you can't move..

Pray for wisdom and strength to plow right through!

Hey there, toomuch!
Way to go!!! I'm so proud of you and happy for you. Take pride in the strength you showed. That strength will build upon itself. Isn't it wonderful when we are no longer slaves to alcohol.

Wow, I know sometimes it's real hard to pass all those those liquor stores and think of all of those little bottles on the shelves in there, but I often think if it wasn't hard I would be one of those "normal" drinkers.

Good for you makin the right choice!

I am so proud of you! In early sobriety every hour we stay sober is a miracle! way to go. If you keep on holding on, you will continue to grow stronger and stronger. Thinking of you,

i always admire anyone who quits drinking and stays sober....i'm amazed at the strength it must take to quit a drug that is so socially acceptable.....i mean, if i went to a party where the vics were flowing freely, i can't say that i wouldn't cave.......and if i could buy them in my corner store, forget about it.....you should be really proud of yourself today......you passed a test......good for you.......
