Through the weekend!

I realize this may not sound like much, but I made it through Fri and Sat! Woo hoo! I am only 4 days sober, but getting through a weekend was a big test I had for myself.
I owe it to all of u and the two AA MTGS I went to Thu and Fri.
:-) I Bbb have started having those thoughts from my AV saying, "maybe you don't need to quit. U can have a few and be fine." Now I know that is just my AV. Never had a name before.

That is wonderful! Lots of "casualties" here this weekend and happy to see that you are not one of them. Onward and upward. Good for you!

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Good job. Keep ignoring the AV. It'll keep trying but as you see, you don't have to listen to it.

Does it feel outstanding not to have a hangover on a Sunday?

I had to say, "I don't drink," to myself a lot in those early days. It gets easier.

On the AV...Addictive Voice...just remember, you can't let a lion out of its cage a little at a time.

Stay away from that first drink, no matter what. Don't touch it. At all.

Hi KM,

I'm on day5, pretty much the same as yourself. I want to tell everyone how good and 'normal' I've been but I wont. I'm very tired, bored and itchy as hell. I read on one of the posts that no level of drunkness can feel as good as being sober. I keep repeating that to myself.
Roll on work Monday morning.
Hoo-ha!
Pls pls let this last..
Best of luck 2 ya buddy.
