Smash it Primativo!

By time my post hits the board you will have cracked a week, and would have built another link on the chain. Stronger by the day.

Good work, Primativo.

I could have written your post- it took me right back to my bad old days.

Keep going, it gets better and easier.

Day 7 coming to an end. My first week done, one of many many more to follow.

Looking forward to waking up fresh tomorrow and hitting the gym

A whole week - what wonderful news, Primativo. It's so great to wake up with no hangover, no regrets.

Day 11 finished.

Feeling good, not had many cravings really, more idealistic "wouldn't it be nice to have a drink'. Just my AV talking, I recognise it and disregard. That isn't the true me speaking, the one who wants to be free.

Today was a big day, every Thursday there is a free bar at the office. I was up there with a soft drink, I had no temptation at all. I hope something has finally clicked in my mind because I was watching people drink, and it was like how someone would feel if you saw someone eating prawns, and you hated prawns. There was just nothing there, no want, no desire. I doubt this feeling will persist, I am sure there will be times when I will be really wanting a drink, but I will deal with that when it comes, one day at a time.

Day 11 is great!

You're right there will probably be testing times ahead but you have time enough to plan and be ready for them rather than let them ambush you?

Absolutely, and if I can do 11 days sober, I can do every day sober. At least I never have to experience day one again or the despair of active alcoholism
