I don't know if this is day 13 or 14 but I don't really care

Post by redial2 » Tue Apr 08, 2014 9:52 am

I still haven't had any alcohol, and excepting the first five days, yesterday was the only tough one. Made it through four He who shall not be named shows (only got into 3, but sat on lot for the last one) without drinking a single drop. Even went to the bar and bought a beer for someone who was too spun to handle money. Bought it, turned around, took a few steps, and handed it to her without taking a sip. That was actually easier than I thought it was going to be.

Gonna do it again tomorrow and Thursday, and then next week for the BAM shows with Clay.

I feel so much healthier! I just hope I can keep this under control so I never go back down into that hole again!

Love and Light to all ya'll

Good for you redial2! And good luck ahead.
Some people cant handle being around that scene while starting to live sober and some people can.
There isn't a perfect road map for your new life. Then again nothings perfect.

Thanks gentlemen, I hope to be at the show on Wednesday too. Last Wednesday was "7 days", this Wednesday will be 14. Then I've gotta get off the road until Festie season starts (shit, that's right around the corner...) to save up for that stuff. Yeesh! Hopefully all that money I was spending on alcohol will help see me through!

Hey Tyler....today is now number 18 for me

The strange thing is I have no urges to drink

Most of my friends drink and i have been offered a brew or shot but I just don't see the point in it

I feel great with a much clearer head

I'm not saying that I will never drink again but just not now

The weekend at Laina's house will be a real test and I will probably give in and have some fun with the rest of everyone

See ya there bro!!

Its been almost 47 hrs since I last used Bath Salts
And am worried that Laina's party will be too much of a temptation as well... :oops:

we need to lean on each other for strength, to make it through this modern day Sodom&Gomorrah festival... #-o

I'm telling all you beware, I don't think they really care, I think they just sit up there,

I am at nearly 3 years without sex. It's been really hard... but I've been able to persevere with the support of the internet, elbow grease, and my right hand man who always helps beat off the temptations.

Thanks buddy... you'll never know how much you mean to me.

The barn orgy at RoRfest will be my real test.
