Hello Sunday Blah

I’m not sure what the deal is if you fall off the wagon but I don’t want to give up on my pledge.  Do I have to pledge for another three months or do I just continue on from here? I have been so good all week.  For most of the week, I didn’t even think about a trip to the bottle shop.  I didn’t blog all week; I was pretty busy and worked late a couple of nights.  Maybe I should have blogged more frequently, especially on Friday.  I was so good in resisting after work drinks but it set me off thinking about it and on Saturday I went back to the land of the living and caught up with friends and family.  It was on my way back that the rot set in and I began coming up with excuses to start again next week.

Weekend winner weakens

I managed to get over the weekend without a drink but I really struggled today.  Around four o\’clock the urge kicks in and it would be so easy to fall off the wagon.  I didn\’t and my next hurdle is tomorrow because of my day off Wednesday but I keep thinking if I could get over the first three weeks, I\’d have it licked. Time for a cup of tea. Lilly

Finally Friday

This is a major hurdle for me.  A hot day, stress and a strong desire to relax with a long cool alcoholic beverage.  I considered but I wondered what I\’d have to write if I fell off the wagon.  I couldn\’t come up a valid excuse so it was easier to stick with my 3 month plan. This site is working much better than I ever thought it would.  One week down, only 11 to go. I hope I make it through the weekend.  fingers crossed.  

Too Tired To Talk

The last two days I have felt sooo tired.  It’s been quite hot and by the time I get home from work my brain has turned to mush and I just feel like putting myself to be for a long sleep. I’m wondering if it’s withdrawals or just the weather. I’m feeling very drawn to get in the car but I’ve decided to resist at least until tomorrow.  6 days down only 78 to go. Blahhhhhh I need a rest (I NEED A DRINK) Time for a cup of tea, I think.

All roads lead to the bottle shop

Third day and the machinations of my brain have been trying to talk me into starting again next week. I have managed to resist this and I\’m sure that if I didn\’t have this site to come and explore my thoughts and cravings I would have come up with a very good excuse.  I\’ve been doing it for years but I must admit that I haven\’t let any thoughts in that direction take hold. Therefore, there are road blocks across all roads that lead to the bottle shop.  (I think there is something in that for all of us).
