And already in August I've had more AF days than I have in a long time, so I think it's a success. So don't worry about having a bad day--just try and have as many AF days as you can, and if you're not perfect, you can just try to improve on that next month. I use the drink tracker and I think putting my "0's" in yellow inspires me. I want to see how many I can get this month. Keep it up--I can relate to you when you talk about how you feel!  |
Congrats. I am going to bed and didnt drink today either. I also forced myself to wake up early today instead of sleeping in so I would get to early tonight and also so I could be awake through the hangover . It's funny but I had some type of "moment of clarity" today. I really saw my daughter and realized just how important it is for me to stay sober and be in tune with what is going on with her life. She needed to talk to me today although she did not say anything.,I was perseptive enough to KNOW she had something on her mind, Had I been drinking...I would have been in my own self absorbed world and would have missed the opportunity to be there for her, She is going to be 13 and DESERVES a sober mother! So today I begin again...day 1....of hopefully many~
