i will certainly keep you all updated with my progress!
I have found it easier than i thought because i have been so determined to change my life for the better. I now find myself a few days away from starting a new job and a week away from my birthday. When i started this i was scared of these events as a new job has stress and a "celebratory" glass of wine, and birthdays have always involved drinking. I now have the strength to know that a glass of wine will not effect me in a positive way, and will not make these events any better! I feel confident that i can handle this, but dont ever take it for granted and keep my self focused on my ultimate goal.
I have spent this week knitting a beautiful basket weave scarf, this i plan to wear everyday as a visual reminder of what i have come through!
indeed it was a very tough day for me, one i know that i wil never ever repeat.
Its day seven for me today, and i have not really been tempted, every day gets easier and easier and i feel happier and happier. I feel more alive than i have for a very long time.
I really do thank you for the kindness you showed me, i was at my wits end and you gave me the final support i needed to end that part of my life and start a new chapter.
Thank you so much. This really made my day. I am so happy you are 6 days alcohol free! Well I guess it would be 7 days now! One week!
I must say reading from you that day I really heard the desperation in your words. But also, for some reason intuitively I knew that you were ready to end this. It is amazing knowing that you are ready to do this. You have so much to fight for and so much to look forward to. Please keep us posted on how you are doing! We are right here for you no matter how hard it gets.
Great success and thank you for sharing with us! You pushing through and doing this! Keep moving forward and do call on us if you need too, we are always here for you!
Today is my 6th day without alcohol this is a great success for me i have never made it past two days, and yet i feel stronger than i ever believed possible - whilst i believe i still have a long way to go, i now believe that i can make it.
I wanted to pubicly thank Ashley, who helped me so much, more than she can ever imagine. Last Thursday i felt like it was the worst day of my life, now i realise it was the best day of my life as it made me realise what i needed to do to actually live my life and move on.
I would not have made it through that day if it hadnt have been for Ashley keeping me as level headed as was possible, thank you Ashley.
I will keep in touch over the next few weeks, i haev actually found a site that is based in the UK and this helps me to keep focused during the day, but i will keep in touch over the coming months with my progress.
Thank you Ashley your warm, heart felt words made me feel like i had hope - thank you so much
