Hey K202, welcome to our class. I read your other thread and I just know that you'll feel at home here and will inspire the rest of us as well!!!!!!:ghug2

Welcome K202!!! You will find many people here ready to support you in your recovery.

I have been thinking today (uh oh!) how amazingly lucky I am to have y'all. Whenever the panic sets in while driving, I think of Daddio's advice; whenever I have bad cravings and tell you, you support me (and kick my @ss). We CAN do this!!!!

To anyone thinking they'll have "day ones" forever: I used to feel that way too. My last day one, and I pray it's my last one, was only one in a long line of false starts and failures. But, like you, I never gave up. And now I'm so pleased that I've one-day-at-a-time'ed myself for twenty four days! Now that's a miracle.

So maybe this is your last day one this time! You never know when the miracle will happen!

:ghug

NEVER give up.

Keep it up guys. One day at a time. ;)

I have been 12 days and I feel damn good. For those of you feeling cranky and etc I started seeing that subside after about 7-8 days. I still have it a little but overall, I feel great! Losing lots of weight too :)

T2,

It's gonna have to be one day at time. I cannot think beyond that.

One day at a time is very logical advice since, after all, we only get to live one day at a time. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't here yet. So just live for today!

:ghug

Morning everyone! Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. We're on a roll :atv!!!!!

Anyways, I had a yucky night's sleep: lot of frustration dreams and some that I had been drinking. I woke up confused and scared that the dream was reality. Thank God, it was just a dream. I swear my HP (conscience, you all, whatever) is trying to remind me how horrible I would feel if I did drink. So I guess if it scares me, it's a good thing. So I'm really tired, but at least I'm sober :)

Hugs and support to all for another successful day!!

My new sobriety date: 8-7-8.

Let's see if this one will actually stick!

Where are all my August buddies?? I need to hear how y'all are doing!!

I'm having a birthday this month so August is a special month for me! I am humbled by the great love and strength of my friends here.

I send my love and gratitude to all: for your determination, faith, and effort.

Remember, if I can do it, anyone can! (and besides, I'm not done "doing it" as "it" will be a lifetime commitment and will never be "finished". I could so easily slip and fall any time. I depend on all my friends to help keep my sober by communicating their experiences, good or bad. I can learn something from all of them.

Day 8 Still here :ghug

Hi Folks, I stopped in before. I just wanted to say again: I WILL NOT DRINK TODAY! I need to keep reminding myself!

On day 4 now - at a bad part of the day, but I will keep saying "I will not drink today". I am still at work - afraid to go home. I'll stay here for another 20 minutes then go home and have some dinner. I will not drink tonight.

watch the opening of the olympics or something FD lol

D

starting day 4

:praying

to get thru the weekend

Can I join? I have a b-day in August too Least, so this is a good month to declare my sobriety month. Today is day 1, again.

Me too! Haven't seen Day 4 in awhile. I am feeling really good today, but the weekend is usually a deal breaker for me. Hang in there, we can do this!!

We certainly CAN do this - together! Pleased as hell to see everyone progressing and determined to succeed!

:ghug

ROFL,

Keep coming back. You can do this!!!!

luv ya!
