Onwards an upwards 😀
Today I'm feeling more positive than I ever have before, I can't quite explain why. As I'm only into day 6. (I've been at day 6 many times 😐
something has definitely shifted, after years an years of self destruct, I think I've finally just had enough 🙌🙌🙌. All the years of drink an drugs 😳. I just finally reached the point of sink or swim. I'm swimming 🙌🙌🙌. I've been a binge drink/drug user more than 25+ yrs. It's time now,I'm under no illusions that it's gonna be tough, but I have you lot to fall back on. Bring it on 🙌🙌🙌 2019 I'm ready🙏🙏🙏

That’s the spirit.
Keep your guard up.
You may need to learn how to relax in a natural way if you want to weather any storms.
Mindfulness is something worth looking in to if you haven’t already.

Good for you!
I felt differently after the one millionth time I quit, too. It was a feeling that I could make it this time. And I did. It took some help. but after ten years, so far, so good.
I wish the same for you.

Trouble is now I'm eating my body weight in crisps, an chocolate. 😝 That'll be a whole new thing to deal with😀. On a serious note though, I've just armed myself with lots of reading material, I haven't thought about it yet, well not to the point of jumping in the car. I've deliberately had an early bath,hair wrapped in a towel, so If the thought got hold, I'd have time to talk myself out of it,, ,needing to dry my hair etc if that makes sense 😃.

Hi Doris. 
You sound positive & determined. That's how I felt in the aftermath of Christmas 11 yrs. ago. Something was different for me, too - and I never picked up again. I know you can do this.
Congratulations on your Day 6.

Hi Doris,
I'll echo what you and others have said. When I quit drinking this last time there was something just different. I can't really put it into words except to say that it was the first time I completely and wholeheartedly believed I was finished.
Congratulations to you.
