    It was interesting to think about that first drink. I didn’t go to the first time I tasted a beer. It was the first time, in college that I drank too much whiskey. Nothing good came out of that! It was also the first blackout experience. I didn’t even start drinking after that. It was much later, after college that alcohol became a part of my life. Good reflection. Thank you.

    Loving the rain and thunder, love the exercises, journaling and affirmations, and going back to when I had my first drink – happy memories.

    The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, hey?

      My affirmation today:
      I only listen to the voice that loves me- a craving does not love nor control me🌹

    I really enjoy the videos being presented naturally / authentically (and as others have said love the fact that it started to rain!) – don’t change this style it sets you apart. I’m going to have to be really planned to complete all of the coursework as doing it properly takes time. I’ve decided to keep going with the preparation work however I am stopping drinking tonight – I’ve had enough of it and doing the mindful drinking yesterday was enough to make me decide this and also still waking up today somewhat tired also just reinforced my decision.

      Love the content. I am very irritable today and impatient. Not feeling good, just feeling everything today. Onwards and upwards I am a believer and am determined to be a good student. Thank you

      Hi Kevin,
      I am on day T-13. I realized yesterday how unconscious and mindless my drinking is. I am very compulsive. I won’t let myself do anything else while I am drinking my unit. I am giving this my best shot.

      I like the idea of the affirmations.

      Thanks

        They really help in the long run. You are choosing your own propaganda if you like 🙂

    This was a very inspiring video today. I chose 5 Life Affirmations for my journey, printed them off and put in my wallet so I can reflect on them when needed throughout each day.

      Glad you liked that one Patrick. It’s something that really helped me in the beginning. I’ll have to dig mine out if I can find them.

      I don’t see “I’m a machine” on that list kevin? I’m going to stick with it regardless

      Yes, we don’t get too much rain around here, so when it does come-it’s fantastic

      Thanks for your video. I am trying to have an AF day today. I missed work today because I drank yesterday. I felt such relief at the first swallow but then drank the whole bottle. I will keep trying and using the suggested practices. Relief with alcohol is still speaking more strongly to me than relief without it.
