sober glad

yesterday i satrted out with my usual 8% bourbon but then i felt so disgusted with myself drinking it at 10am so decided to try and have no more. Unbelievably i had no withdrawal symptoms and no alcohol in the house so once those 2 were gone i had no more all day!!! Even said to my friend not to come over as i knew wed get on it and i really didn't want to.

So here i am this morning with a clear head bit of a tight feeling in my stomach but i am so proud that i could do it!! Had to share that although you guys on the other side of the world are probably in bed now asleep. xx

You really CAN do it! It may seem like a really tough road to travel, but in the end it will be so rewarding for you and your family.

I'm thinking of you and the emotional stress you are under presently, and the courage you have to continue to turn away from the bottle and on to a better way inspires me.

You have more strength than you know Glad and you will use it all, and receive more from God before you fade, to care for your children who so desparately need you now. My prayers are with you from one mother's heart to another's.

Love and many hugs,
Hope

Glad, that is AWESOME!!!!! Hooray! I wish you continued successes.

Good to see you Glad! Just got home from work. And checkin in...

Brilliant Glad

It is the little things. I am amazed I am where I am now. As they say, Take it a day at a time. See if you can do it again today or tomorrow, whichever it is. After a few days you do start to feel better about yourself. It is saturday today. I got out of bed at 7.45am!!! Never heard of in the past two years unless we are going on holiday. I usually lay about until at least 11am. Off to the Rocky Horror show this afternoon, should be a hoot. Last night I went to the pub and had a meal and a lemonade and lime. Huh, getting easier by the day. The other day I went shopping and did NOT buy a bottle of gin. Its those little things. Keep it up Glad.
