Great work Rosie! Keep up the hard work! It is great to hear that you are feeling awesome! I enjoy being sober too, I am so much more productive and energetic nowadays! I believe that you will continue to have the strength you need! Stay strong!
I am just starting day 11 of being sober, and I have to tell you I feel great!!! I am really enjoying being sober, it is not just the physical feeling, although not waking up with a hangover is a plus) but I am able to achieve much more in the day, I can enjoy simple things like taking my 3 dogs for a long walk in the woods, something I would have put off before as it would eat into valuable drinking time.
Wish I had done it years ago, hope I continue to have the strength to never go back.
In addition to the online tools, here are some suggestions for working on your goals:
Talk to Others:
Think about who you could talk to for advice or support. It’s important to find someone that you can talk to while you make changes to your drinking. Consider friends, relatives, professionals in your community, your health care professional, a favourite teacher or profession, a respected colleague, a church leader – or anyone who you can trust and wants you to succeed. If you’d like to remain anonymous, simply join us here in the discussion forums.
Hear What Others Are Doing:
Find out about groups in your community that meet regularly to share ideas about changing, contact an addictions agency or find a family service that’s right for you. You don’t have to register to read posts in our Online Support Group – so feel free to browse the Support Group and see what strategies are working for different people.
It Helps to Talk to a Counsellor:
Professionals who are trained in addictions counselling can help you achieve your goal. They are trained to listen without judging and help you understand what’s happening with your body and your emotions. They can also put you in touch with other resources.
That's my goal - I should be able to do it...not because of my own sheer wtrength but because of the lack of alcohol in the house. I guess my goal then isn't just to not drink, but to not want to drink or to do something different when I do want to drink.
