1 week up for me !
1 week up for me !
I can't remember having gone a week without a drink since I was 18. I am now 39.
BUT - I have done it now ! YAY
I am feeling very strong !
And you know what - I am thankful for these boards for the kind words and shares of other's for helping me through !
I'm stoked !
I feel like rewarding myself. What should I do ? Perhaps treat myself to a massage tomorrow - what a great idea ! Any other suggestions ??
Cheerio,
Aristo

Congrats on a week! Great! Wonderful! Fantastic! Amazing! and.... you'll probably agree, a very short time ago.... UNBELIEVABLE!
I remember very well when I went through what you're going through. I was elated too. I didn't drink, and I didn't die! Felt better than ever! Wow! Unbelievable! I didn't know I could live without booze!
Don't drink (or use), go to meetings, read the Big Book. And celebrate your continuing victory! Follow up the massage with a steak dinner!
I've been sober over 17 years. Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together.

Good for you! I have no idea how to add all the quotes and thingies jumping up and down yet, but believe me, I would insert a few for you! Keep it Up! I'm right behind you!
Hi Folks,
Had my Massage today - Felt Great !
I was going to have a Chocolate Eclair too - but I thought that would be a bit indulgent.
So I bought a pack of cheezles and a block of chocolate.
Saw my Psycologist today - he was happy ! Funny thing, I spent an hour with him but felt like 5 mins.
Thanks for everyone's best wishes !
I AM THE BEST ! WOOOO HOOOOOO
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST TOO !
Cheers folks - <raises my glass of lemonade to all>

11 days up and going strong.
I've been feeling a bit strange recently. Tired, but can't sleep. Thinking all the time (not about drinking , which is great).
I have had the occasional fleeting thought of picking up - usually after a stressful sitution - But the thoughts leave quickly after I check in with myself.
I'm quite proud of myself actually <pats myself on the back>
Still have a bit of 'head fog' but don't know if that is because of my drinking or anxiety.
I was hoping my Tinitus would go away - but hasn't yet - maybe later.
I've put on weight - just a few kgs - Haven't been excersising and been enjoying my food too much.
Woke up yesterday feeling absolutely like crap - but I think that is because I have a cold.
Been drinking WAY too much coffee - 2nd cup today already.
Stayed up till 4:00am last night - watching TV , browsing web, keeping myself busy.
Packing my stuff to move house (2.5 weeks to go)
Been E-baying a little.
Had family over for dinner last the other night.
Procrastinating over lots of other stuff too - but better than drinking.
All in all - coping well - Feeling Strong.
Haven't been to a meeting for a week - Don't miss them. Maybe AA is not for me - Seem to be coping better without it.
Been reading lots of stuff on these boards.
Been thinking a lot of my higher power.
Have been writing one piece of wisdom each day - Very thought provocing when you put your mind to it.
Peace & Strength

Your doing great, I too am still finding myself in a bit a fog, I am not sure if it's cause I'm not used to being sober all the time.
I havn't exercised in the two weeks, I've been more tired then before, I'm not sure if it the cause or the effect. I going to try to fit in run tommorrow, if not definitly Tuesday before I leave for the city.
Keep the peace and the strength.
