Hi Everyone -

Back to work today! ABS for 41 days. It just gets easier and easier - when is this tempting little devil going to jump out and say "boo. remember me?"

Kris, I think you keep right on with the rest of the class. You made it for how many days (like 30 out of 31?). So that would give you an average of 97 - still an "A."

I agree that you need to think of how many days you would have spent drinking instead of making progress on your goals. When I first started program, I had 2 separate periods of 14 days without alcohol. Pretty impressive for a first timer, I think.

Of course, I tried to moderate too soon and the 5 or 6 days between drinks soon became 1 or 2, then back to everynight again.

Give yourself credit - you did a lot better than I did. Took me two times to realize that I had to abstain for a longer period of time - and now I am liking that feeling. Very much enjoy not waking up and feeling like crap!

I am so pleased with how well everyone has done. Marcie - you have done so well. You sound like a different person on chat - so confident and sure of your capacity to handle this problem. Good for you.

Thankful for all my friends on the board,
Pansy
