Thanks Parent and Paperdolls. The funny thing is, it is easier for me to talk on here then at my meetings. I get all tongue tied and forgot what I'm going to say sometimes.

I just sort of talk funny. But not when I have nothing to say.

Hi Barb . Do what you can, and skip some things for now sounds like a good approach. I am so proud of you for getting through that craving!!! 16 days is excellent!

Good for you. I'm glad you feel better today. Another day sober. One day at a time.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the replies. I'm still doing good. Went to my meeting tonight. Real small group tonight. Only 13. Sometimes I like the smaller meetings better, I get more out of them. My home group is real small too. I think we only have 6 or 7 members, counting me. We usually have anywhere from 15-20 people come every week.

Day 17

Hi Everyone, another day sober. I feel good today. My sinuses are bother me today with the weather change. But that's OK. When i drank they bothered me all the time. I wonder if drinking can do that too, where alcohol can do all kinds of things to your body?

Running a little late today getting on the computer. I was talking on the phone with my sister and telling her about this forum and how you guys have helped me so much. She is really happy that I stopped drinking. I use to worry her a lot, and she worried about my health. We had a nice conversation. We are really close, always have been since kids. I'm really glad about that. Some people don't have that closeness with there siblings.

I second Stone's fly-by!

Good for you to beat that ol' monster down.

Also - wanted you to know that you're not the only one whose sinuses get all inflamed when drinking. And I thought I was unique!

Looking forward to another day sober,

Liz

Day 18

Hi Everyone, another day sober. I've been having a good day so far. I even got up early today. First time since I've been sober. I have to work more on getting to bed earlier so I can get up in the mornings like a normal person. So I'm getting a little better. They say in the meetings to change people, places, and things. So changing my bedtime is one of my things. Changing your behavior helps you to stay sober too.
