    Have a wonderful Thursday!

    Thank you for that reminder. Easier said or "read" than done though. It is the core beliefs we hold about ourselves that need to be challenged as to whether they are true or not true and then do the work to change those messages. For some of us it is sooner than later, but for others of us it is better late than never!!

    It is through sharing our experiences that can help make it better for another and perhaps their healing can start "sooner" than later.

    For me it IS beginning to get better thankfully. ;)

    I hope everyone has a good day, or can at least find a little wee bit of good in today! <3

    GREAT JOB! You know I think the same way. Today is one year and I feel on shaky ground some. I think these dates of accomplishment seem to call to us to drink. I don't know if it is the same there... It won't be a celebration tomorrow, if I drink today. So for a few days, I am off my diet plan. It is ok. I have made it!! I am so much happier for it!![/quote]

    Congratulations on a year @salleewins ! That's such a great accomplishment! I also allow myself to slack on diet if I'm wanting to drink.. Definitely helps me.

    cuz two wrongs make a right but two rights dont make wrong
    sometimes I wonder if I should get a bong
    or go stare at a stripper in a skimpy thong
    but maybe all I need tonight is some Chinese from Mr Wong

    You’re doing so well! Day 55?? Maybe rethink that birthday drink. It’s usually regretful feeling the day after. But if you choose to imbibe, enjoy every second. Life is an adventure! You’ve done so well.

    @Norminv @Fitness327wk I was thinking of looking back over old bank statements that show purchases from the liquor store and nights out, etc. but I honestly don't want to know. I think it would make me nauseated to realize how much money I spent on booze.

    I know for me, I'm saving around $200 a month from not going to the breweries after work. And that's just from buying Pints.....I'm not even talking about filling up growlers, or grabbing a 6 pack from the store, or going downtown for some tequila shots and misc. drinks, etc. I never realized how much I was spending. I just knew that I wanted that drink and I guess I didn't care. Now I can put that money into savings or do something fun with it!
    10 days AF! Doesn't seem like much compared to some of y'all, but, it's HUGE for me! :smiley:

    Day 10 is a big turning point for many on this page.... That's when magic and imaginary friend start

    Imaginary friends huh? 🤔 sounds interesting! Hahaha!

    Please tell me I'm not the only one

    .........you might be. :D hahaha!
