Hey Javi.......I found that AA was not for me either....seemed to tell me that I wasn't in control, and I don't believe that.....you have come to the right place, we will do what we can to help you through this.....we all need to stick together and help each other....that's what I feel has helped me.....we don't judge each other or have expectations of each other that are not realistic to us......WE CAN DO IT!!!!!! TOGETHER!!!!!
Hey Honey....yes I am Canadian so we have already celebrated our Thankgiving in October....anyway keep up the good work and I'll try to check out that Facebook page.
Hi Ashley....going to be a busy weekend, going to the theatre Saturday afternoon with friends and then dinner after...Sunday to a family function....no alcohol allowed. Probably will have a glass of wine with dinner but that will be it. Looking forward to it and next week I decorate the house for Xmas so I should be able to keep myself pretty busy.
Hey Honey...fortunately for myself I am pretty much stuck at home as I don't have a car and the nearest bus stop is a half hour away. Walking in winter around here is not fun, nor possible, cold and snow, it is Canada after all....so I don't have the temptations that you do. But there is one temptation that I can't avoid...the grocery store has a wine store in it so everytime I need groceries there it is......I used to make excuses to go to the grocery store just so that I could buy wine, but not doing that anymore, in fact I went the other day and walked right by without buying any wine.......CONGRATS to you too seems like we both are doing the right thing and doing really well.......
Hi Biffy.........I know it's hard......I'm a binge drinker and once I have the first one I can't stop....but over the last 3 weeks I've set a goal and I've met it.....so far so good......the one thing that keeps me going is to think about this one day at a time....everyday I get up and say just for today.......not sure if that will help but it has gotten me through so far....
Hi Biffy.......it is daunting but I feel very proud of myself when I accomplish it.....my hubby said the sweetest thing to me the other day when I asked him what he wanted for Xmas.....he said "You already gave me my Xmas present you quit smoking (5 months now) and your working on cutting down your drinking".....I really felt wonderful about the choices I have made and I'm going to continue to work on it. I came up with a coping strategy for over the holidays...I'm not going to drink any more than any one else and seeing as the people I am going to be with don't drink or at the most might have two glasses of wine with dinner I'm feeling really optomistic about being sober this season.....keep up the good work and like I said one day at a time.
