DG, Always drunken prep - always half loaded by the time the company arrived and hadn't actually gotten that much done. And I agree with the advice you gave Janice. Having known her for a while I assumed that she wouldn't post about her drinking here. I also know that having done 120 days AF before modding she knows how to talk a newbie through 30 days AF and beyond.
Diane, I really came to MWO to quit drinking during Lent. Every time my 30 days was up I just continued down my AF path. Somehow I could (still can) envision staying AF for 30 days but not forever. I'm 6 months sober now and I didn't really do it ODAT so much as 30 days at a time. For me, modding has not been an option as long as I can still hear AL calling...b/c I figured it still had too much of a hold on me. He still calls infrequently...I remain AF. And if I am completely honest - I don't fantasize about a drink - I fantasize about a DRUNK. I do occasionally drink AF beer but I did not strart that until I was 4 months AF. I find that I have to be careful with it.
All the best,
