hey tj, hope the shakes ent to bad now, get some food, taccos, lasagner and some sweet things too, gotta have more than just fluids. Keep occupied dont just sit watchin telly or you will end up just thinking of reasons to just have one drink. Go do your garden or walk, go see your sponsor, or take out your frustration chopping the salad for 2moz. Keeping busy is the key to the first few days.
You say that if you can get through to day 7 then you'll be ok, well just be happy to get through the next hour and then the hour after that. You know that we cant project things to far in advance or we fail. Just gotta be patient and get there eventualy cuz it will happen if you work for it.
So grab your boots polish em up and kick ass! till you get there !

Doing ok. Day is 1/2 way over and I'll try to hit the sack early too. He got the drinks for me and some stuff to munch on. BBQing steaks for dinner.
He informed me before he left for the store that he wont quit drinking too. Oh well. I was hoping for more support from him in that respect, but cant win 'em all!!! He said he would stay out of the bars though. Not sure if I'm just heartbroken that he dont care enough, or if I'm just pissed off about it.
I'm doing this for me though, not for him!

Well you got that one right tj. You can only stop for yourself ! and you gotta learn that peeps are gonna carry on drinking even when your not, just be happy with yourself for not drinking and fk anyone who does it's there choice to make not yours. At least he aint gonna go out drinking so no worries on that front.
Hope the rest of your day goes ok and your night ent to long, im heading on up myself now but ill put you in my reflections. Take care!
Be Strong tj.

Good luck TJ-
I had to saty busy today myself. If I stay at home too long by myself, I get to thinking to much. Bought Deepak Chopra's new novel, Buddha...I will read after my Speaker Meeting at one of our local churches..my noon AA meet was just what I needed even if I had to raid the kleenex box a time or two.
What are you doing for Mother's Day? I have Callum all day, from 9:00am until 7:00pm!!! Can't wait.
Have a nice evening..steaks sound lovely!

Nighty Night ??? It's only 7 here... so it's 4pm for you. Sounds like you toughed it out enough today though. Sweet dreams and when you wake up it's mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day TJ .

Yeah... I realise that. Now you tell me .

I know you like Jones soda but have you ever tried Hansen's? I found it at Target. They only carry 2 flavors that I saw (Tangerine and Pomegranate) but I liked both so far.

I will weather!! And thank you for the video clip of the penguins!!

Gypsy, ya know I seen those at food for less, I'll try them.

Sheesh, I cant taste salt very well today and I hope my potato salad came out good! Kelly tried it and said it was real good, but.........he likes to over salt his food. yikes!
When I asked him if there was enough salt, he said yes!!

hehe it's ok dee!!

Well my friends, I did it!! I made it through day 1 without a drop and I'm so greatful for all your posts today. They kept me going. I ate like a piggy, the steak came out top notch and I ate all of it (I NEVER eat all my steak).
I thought about going to a meeting today, but I'm way too shaky to drive right yet. Cant wait to get back to my meetings and see everyone.

So, hubby took off to go and have beers at my son inlaws, (*%%$#^) and I'm going to go lay in bed and catch a movie to drift off to. Have a great night all, and hang in there!!!
