gappie:
i'm happy you're doing well. and i can believe you long for a drink sometimes. guess that will stay. but be strong and stay strong. i think 93 days is great.. that is 13 weeks or 3 months, impressive... keep it up.
:)

Inside The Mind Of Mark F.
One Of The Things You Find Out In Recovery Classes Is How To Avoid Relapse, And What Tricks Your Brain Will Play On You To Justify One More Drink.
The First Thing I Thought About When I Got My Results Back Is "I Can Drink Again"
It Is A Struggle One Day At A Time To Fight The Cravings To Drink.
I Told Sue That I Had A Dream, And I Seen My Self In The Woods, Living In A Tent, Collecting My Military Retirement To Pay For My Alcohol. More So If She Dies Before Me, At That Point I Will Have Nothing To Live For. If It Was Not For Sue I Think I Would Have Been Dead Along Time Ago.
I Talked about this in my last A.A. Meeting, And They Encouraged Me to Stay Sober, And Told Me It Gets Easier. More So If You Fill Up Your Day With Things That Are Productive.
In A.A. You Help Your Self By Helping Others So I Am Getting More Involved Into The Meetings And How To Conduct One In The Future. That Is Kind Of New To Me Since I Am A Recluse, And Anti-Social. I Have All The Basic Materials, Books, Speaker Cd's, And Other Items To Help A Drunk To Think About Another Way Of Life.

I hear you: when I quit smoking (the first or second time, not the last time), my brain would do the same: "it's only one cigarette" which quickly became "it's only one pack, I won't get anymore" and then I was smoking again.
Think about the feeling good part - when I quit (the last time), it was REALLY nice just breathing. For about 6 months I went around smiling just from the feeling of breathing. I'd never go back to smoking now, not even if I found out I had a week to live. It's just not worth it to feel bad.

I Have been doing somethings interesting (To Me)
Since I Have Joined A.A. I Have Actually Been Reading (Not Like I Did The Books JimH Sent To Me).
I have always liked Antiques, So I Started Out On A New Hobby, Collecting Old Versions Of A.A. Books And Oxford Group Books. For Some Reason It Makes Me Feel Good Knowing That The Old Book I Collected May Have Been owned By Someone Who Was Able To Stop Drinking (I Hope).
I Do Not Have That Same Feeling With A New Book.
Is That Weird?
Some Of The Books I Have Collected (Oxford Group Books) Are Printed Prior To 1935 (The Year A.A. Was Formed As A Group).
I Have Been Sober: 138 days
I Have my good days, and bad days but mostly good days.
I Have Been Using MC13 Almost Every Day Cataloging A.A. Speaker Mp3's (I Have Almost 3,000 Of Them Now), And Then Burning Them To CD To Give To Other Alcoholics (Free) To Do My Part With Step 12 Even Though I Am New In A.A. And Still Learning.
