Hello Everyone hope you had a good friday. Today is day 4 for me and I am feeling , to put it bluntly, crap. I thought the previous 3 days were hard but today is worse. much worse. Maybe its the thought it being friday night and the weekend is here. I felt really positive at first but I dont anymore. I think I've made a mistake just now cuz I thought i'd re-read my PMs for maybe some encouragement but all it's done is highlight the fact that I cant do this. I am building the following scenario:- I start positive, do my usual 2 days, fail. start again - fail, start again- fail... I cant help thinking oh great, yeah i'm on day 4, but i cant sustain it if every waking minute i am obsessin about the fact I cant drink. Sorry :argh:

Nor me, I've gone in slippers before when desperate !!! LOLI feel as though it's all happening to someone right next to me.
I'm close, I can feel it, I can hear it, but it isn't really me.

Day 4 is very hard and Friday night to boot. Reward yourselves tomorrow with something you would not normally have....chocolate or french fries or something yummy during the time you would be drinking. Just don't drink. Then feel very proud.If I ruin my body where will I live? :rangerComment

Hi Maxine & Everyone,
Just checking in on ya, to see how your night went and how your Saturday is going. Congrats on AF Day 4...you did it!!! Funny thing is on my way to work I was just thinking about what you posted on Friday and felt the same way. All I can say is at least you TRYING, we all are and gee that's better than nothing, imagine those people out there (my heart goes out them) that are in denial or worse living in the streets and still drinking. Try to not to think about those kind of thoughts(difficult I know) otherwise you will get into that spiral of thinking bad about yourself and that might be a trigger, it has been for me. Thanks to everyone's support here, posting my messages and reading the posts, it really has helped me.
It's another hot sunny Saturday morning in Los Angeles, I am proud to write that I am on AF Day 3 and I feel absolutely wonderful, there is no panic attacks (I get them real bad) of guilt, shame , self hatred and most importantly no HANG-OVERS...YIPEE!!! it's just pure bliss at the moment and I am going to take advantage of it and most definitely learn the tools to apply it to the days when I get those awful triggers :bonkers: (my visual impression of my triggers...pretty scary eh).
Anywho, I am off to start my day......hope all is well with you and everyone and will post later.
Lots of hugs,
JanetAF Since May 2nd 2012Comment

I may make day 5 yet. xxxxSometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazyComment
