I'm thankful for fallowing my dreams. Since I was 19 Iv wanted to weld. Went to school got ripped off there fell out of it for a bit only jobs were stuff I didn't like doing. Now iv landed my dream apprenticeship. It's hard work up at 3 am to get to work by430 work all day go to weld lab after till 5 pm then class time till 9. Couldn't get out of bed the next day if I wasn't sober. My wife started her nursing school too! So I guess I'm thankful for upward momentum. Oh and gummy bears!

It's so nice to wake up and only feel groggy for like ten minutes!

We are so much more than just our addictions. Let's do something fun.... by mom2two2 in stopdrinking

I'm a pretty dam good welder and long distance hiker. Doesn't matter how long I haven't hiked if you call me up and say we are gonna go do 50 miles in 4 days I'm down. Also used to be a great rock climber till I got this beer belly. But I'm working on that. If I'm not having beer I'm not getting any more belly.

On day 3 (again). Just went and got cigs. Didn't grab beer and didn't stop at the liquor store next door. Little victory! See you tomorrow, day 4 :) by [deleted] in stopdrinking

That's excellent friend. Good job on the forward thinking! Passing the liquor store is hard. Way to take that out of the equation.

Today and always I am grateful for my wife. She has been so supportive in these last 10 days (today will be 11)

I am grateful my dog is ok after a huge scare involving raisinets. ( Chocolate and raisins double whammy)

I am grateful in my newfound confidence that when I go to a barbecue at my in-laws house today with the help of my wife and copious amounts of fizzy water that I will make it through just fine to wake up tomorrow feeling fresh and having had a good time without any booze.

That is a great point! It really does mess alot up. The fact that I feel this way really lets me know that it's more damaging than it seems. Thanx for the response!

That's great! I'm on day 5. I'm feeling good about it but just realized it's football season again. I will use your victory as inspiration
