Re: Day 11...

Hey MadArt(ist),

Just got back to this forum and started reading your progress. Congratulations on day 11! I guess that was 2 days ago, so you would be on day 13 now :D.

I am sorry for the pain that you are enduring in this time. It does make it difficult to put aside the alcohol but as you are showing, you can do it.

When I began my journey, I didn't know about the vitamins and other things to do to make it easier...for my body. LOL Although, as I have mentioned in a post with you a few months ago, I ATE LOTS of sugar...sweets, candy, and the likes...and GAINED 30 pounds. I am working on that excess now. At any rate, I had many talks with myself when I thought I wanted a drink. I made myself accountable to myself, which was not the norm for me. It helped. I can say proudly, that in 3 days it will be 21 months since I have had a drink!

You can achieve this goal of yours! You are a strong woman! You have made a choice and as long as you continue to choose the same choice you will succeed. Although, if you ever choose a different choice (to drink) do not beat yourself up. Just accept it as the choice you made and begin again (as you mentioned about day 8). You rock, MadArt(ist)! You are a compassionate soul, please do not forget that!

I will keep you in my prayers! Be safe, be happy and be well.

Love, Light and Peace,
Beth Tweet
