...which should be day 12! But it is day 3. Feeling wonderful; I just read all the new posts which empower me! Thank you all. I had been so scared that I would be hung over or shakey (or sneaking alchohol with me in my suitcase to prevent the shakes) when I go down to see my family this Labor Day weekend and my mother's birthday. No fear of that now! Most of the family do not drink or have it in their homes; although my sister-in-law has been known to have a bottle of wine there for any who might care to imbibe (usually me!) or offer me a joint. I WILL IGNORE BOTH if they are present or offered. It's raining cats and dogs here in Tennessee! Remants of the hurricane in Florida. It's beautiful and cleaning and cooling the air and turning the grass greener. I love it.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda!!!! lol Great attitude today! Keep it simple!

forget about last week already, today is tuesday, make it a great day!!! We have a few sayings like "it takes what it takes" and "it is what it is". Both are examples of acceptance statements. Get outside today and walk through the woods or down to a lake, river, creek, hillside, valley. Do some deep breathing and meditatiion about how great it is to be you and be alive right now! Work the word "grateful" in there
Hey hang in there, if we drink it just get worse. When I sliped this last time I was much worse than I was before,,I honest just started thinking let this drinking just kill me I don't care..Thank god I have four days now,,I know that no way in hell I could do it without a higher power,,Something much greater than me is out there. I have to work on this depending on my higher power to do for me what no human can do. It is tuff to not be in control.
