closing in on day 7 tomorrow. just turned down an invitation to my wife's friend's birthday gathering at a place that has the BEST beer taps in town. told her I wasn't afraid of being tempted as much as didn't want to watch people drink such fabulous beer. just keeping warm with green tea, a movie and the cats piled on top of me. life has been worse....

WONDERFUL Zontar! Really pleased to hear that - was it relatively easy to go AF for you?

yeah, it's really been pretty easy. no "white knuckling", for sure. I don't have any "higher" goals right now as far as time off from AL, but it's sure been nice to know I can do it. never would have imagined it even a few months ago!

Zontar,

Great to hear that you are making it through the "bender". I am in the middle of breaking my resolutions on running and eating so I am not sure I am ready for a sober binge. Although I have been 5-7 AF over the past week - I did have a big night on Saturday while playing cards with friends. So I am not far away from being able to give a 7 day AF day a try. I was going to try a "cleansing" that Deena described at some point combining eating specific foods and going AF. But we will see.

Reboot - you made me laugh about being in the middle of breaking your resolutions re running and eating - too funny !

Zontar - I know what you mean about never even imagining being AF for (for me) even a day some time ago - so even though it is slow, Nal does progress!

And Newlife - I agree - you WILL get there - I know you will! Just hang in there!

Hugs, Maggie x
