Today was a great day it was so fun today I really enjoyed myself.. then I started to think about "wow it would be nice to go home and have a drink just one and a few smokes" it took everything for me not to but I did not drink.. I just kept reminding myself that I do not drink alcohol anymore. Even though this is only day 8 my body is starting to feel so much better. I'm spending time with my family more and just overall physically feel better besides a few things that I'm sure will be better. I just don't want to give that up. I won't give that up!

Congrats on day 8 Toni! Sounds like you are doing well, those thoughts of drinking will still pop up from time to time, so it's best to expect them and be ready when they come.

Let the thoughts pass without acting on them. And they will pass, and with more sober time they will become fewer and fewer.

Very glad you had a great day, and good job on letting those thoughts flow past you without acting on them. You're getting stronger every day!

Nice stamina on day 8.

When I was 3 months clean i went to a huge party.

Loads of booze. A few drunks, many were my old drinking buds.

The temptation was fierce. I got through by saying i am not drinking today.

Right now i am in a casino playing bingo. I just looked around and i see 1 person w booze in front of them.

As non drinkers we are in the majority.
