Day 7 for me...first good night's sleep all week! Went to the gym so now feel all burnt out but I have to take the kids out as the sun is shining. It was so good to wake up without the usual mega hangover and think 'oh gawd how am I going to get through the day'?!
Have a good day all

Morning everyone. I haven't been posting much and I feel like I should post more. I'm struggling not to drink even though I'm logging in here and using AA. So I'm gonna catch up on everyone's posts and start being more active here. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Sounds like a plan Cristina
Congrats on a week Martina
my stumbling block was 4 days for a long time beerbgone - then it wasn't. You can do this...the bottom line is 'I will not drink today'.
I think you'll get something out of AVRT Midton

Hi all,
Just checking in. I hope you are all well, enjoying your weekends and feeling good about yourselves. For those who aren't right now I have nothing particularly insightful to offer. I would just say if you are not feeling that great, whatever it is, it will absolutely not be improved by alcohol. At least that's what I've been telling myself. So let's just hang in there.
Tonight was a bit weird - was in a place where I have for a long time just sat and drunk, and didn't this evening. The odd thing is I didn't feel particularly triumphant, just well, whatever. Sort of "that was then, this is now", but not in a remorseful way. Maybe I'm just tired (have been travelling all day but stayed off the booze, which was a first), who knows? Anyway, it's now bedtime and I've done one more day. I need to be out of the door very early tomorrow and am really looking forward to doing that without feeling like I've been hit by a train. So I think, all things considered, things are going fine.
Going for a run later in the morning so who knows I may post later tomorrow feeling very pleased with myself
Best wishes to all who read and post.

Well, I think I have flunked out of this class. Don't want to be melodramatic, but have gone back to my drinking ways (albeit at a lower level than before). Have an appointment with an addiction counselor on Monday and have been using that as an excuse to drink every day. Hello AV, I hear you loud and clear. Need to change my stupid ways. Anyway, I am so proud and impressed with all of the April-ers who are fighting the good fight...

Day 12 today here! Hanging on by a thread but thank God the day is almost over! I'm not gonna pick up today! For those that picked up, dust yourselves off and get back on! It's so easy to say 'oh well, I drank so I'm just going to keep drinking cause I blew it.." Then before you know it you are back to drinking alcoholically again and then you don't stop. Don't listen to that AV (ego)! Get back on it, we all have slips sometimes!

Another hangover free day for me today. But I took NyQuil to help me sleep I see it has 10% alcohol in it so I'm back to day 1. I took the normal dose, I throw it out today I will buy the CVS brand it doesn't have any alcohol in it.
Have a great weekend everyone I'm off to work.

Day 3 and I feel determined.

Thankyou
