Hello! Today marks 2
years that I decided not to let alcohol control my life and my only regret is that
I didn’t do it long ago. I gave up something
that had become a focal point of my life and I don’t miss it. As a past
everyday drinker I no longer wait for that “OK” time to drink. On outing with friends I no longer wonder if
I will be able to drink the way I want.
I’m no longer careful with what I eat during the day to save my calories
for the large amount of alcohol that would be consumed later that day. There are so many more benefits but these are
the ones that really stick out in my mind when thoughts of having a drink pop
into my mind.
I was a frequent visitor to this site and it helped me get
to where I am today. Everyone that comes
here has their own story so each needs their own plan. Good luck to everyone here in achieving their
goal, it is possible no matter how hard it feels at times.
Julie and Gus, I’m glad to see you are still doing well. You
were both an inspiration to me during my AF journey.
I wish everyone strength on their journey!
Thank you herval gal, Julie, and Dave848 for your continued support. Good luck to everyone!
MurphMom,
I hope the morning finds you well. For me, the first few days were scary. Change is hard and I had not gone without alcohol for more than a day or two. Having a plan in place for when cravings hit is a very good idea. Your journey is day to day, but what is your goal? Initially you stated you either wanted to cut back or stop completely. What do you feel is best for you?
