Hi All,
I haven't really posted since I was venting about my White Knuckling weekend so I decided to again. Many times I just read what everyone else is writing and I really get alot of great advice. Everyone brings alot of different perspectives to our painful subject. Thank you! I made it through the weekend and on the 6th I look forward to 9 months sober....Yipeeee. It's weird that it just feels like yesterday the further I get out. When I had only a couple weeks in it felt like an eternity. Strange how that happens huh? Anyway, just wanted to post something. I don't really have anything useful or helpful like many here but it make me feel good to see my name in the threads. TTFN to you All and thank you for the support I get from all of you and you don't even know it.

Valarie, Nine months is so long to go w/o a drink, isn't it? I never could've imagined not drinking and drugging, I honestly thought I would die a hopeless alcoholic/addict woman. I use to say the Rosary and just pray for a day of sobriety and nothing...it took a long time for me finally throw the towel in...but I'm so glad I did. I hope that you don't have too much more of the white-knuckling...it's no fun...that use to happen to me when I use to try to get sober before...thankfully, by the Grace of God, the obsession and craving has been removed this time...that's nothing short of a miracle. Have restful night.
Thank you VW Girl,
Your words are ones that I consistantly read. Thank you for that. The only reason that I was white knuckling is because I put myself in a bad environment. Like 6 different parties but they are all done for a while so that is good. I'm going to the spa this weekend for a massage. Can't wait. I spend all the money I would have spent on booze on fun things now. It's great. Thank you for your kind words and you have a peaceful nice as well! :)

Good Morning! It is great to have some extra money to pamper ourselves with! I am all for that! I buy myself some new summer clothes, get my nails done, haven't done the spa thing yet, but I have always wanted to! would love to have a massage! Valarie 9 months is great! congradulations on the milestone! I know going to parties is a hard thing, I'm meeting some friends on Saturday we are going to a pub,abit tempting but I'm just focusing on what I do want in my life not what I don't!! seems to work better for me that way. The more I focus on what I don't want, the more it seems I attract it, and then I obsess about it and the next thing I know, bam back to square one! Funny how the brain works sometimes!
Have a peaceful and wonderful day

Thank you all of you, the words of encouragement get me through the day. I never realized just how much money I really was spending on booze until I started to just put aside money that I would have gotten booze with. It's crazy!! All of you have a great peacefuland sober day. Thank you Idgie, Love Dove, VW Girl and everyone!
Peace, Valarie
Peace, Valarie
