Newbies Nest Roll Call

More importantly, what is your plan Star?

Thanks for the mooning, El! Makes me twinkle!

My plan is to keep on keeping on.

What I am doing differently, this time, is using the Antabuse every day. In the past, I skipped days, to make my supply go further. Well, that didn't work, because once I skipped an extra day or two, then I started with the stinkin drinkin thoughts. No good!

I am also allowing myself to eat and drink what I want (except for AL). I have eaten A LOT of blue-frosted cookies (Byrdie!):love: Next week, I plan to go on a healthy eating plan (avoiding sugar and such) but this week, I have not been worried about that.

I am working my attitude of gratitude on a daily (or hourly) basis and trying not to let myself get too worried or upset about things. I spend a lot of time reading up on the freakin disease and feeling so happy about all my friends on this site who are doing so well and are in such better spots now. I admire you all!

I am just (in a nutshell) trying to be nice to myself.

I want to be free.

Thanks for asking!

...it’s not how much AL you drink, it’s the relationship you have with it that separates you from a normal drinker. Ours was not good, I was getting weaker, AL was getting stronger. I had started to top up my buzz with vodka. The lengths I went to concealing this were ridiculous!

Good morning IamMary,

Your post reminded me so much of myself and why I allowed alcohol, truly a cunning disease to fool me for so long. The fact that I could control myself to a set limit of drinks most of the time only served to reinforce my delusion that I didn't have a problem. If I didn't keep it under control as I hoped, then the hope that "the next time I will keep my drinking under control" kept me in bondage. A one liner I stumbled across summarizes it well, "When you have to control something, then it's out of control." I refuse to let AL beat me too. This thread keeps me accountable and truly gives me strength every day to keep fighting this battle and to win it! The more serious we are about our quit, the more successful we will be.

Addy (All Done Drinking...Yes!) :love:
