My friend Deb and I used to put this green stuff all over our faces and let it dry until it cracked. THen we put on REALLY red lipstick and ugly earrings. And then we smoked cigarettes.

Guess what we did next?

Starlight

My heart goes out to you! I have read many of your post encouraging and supporting others. You are obviously much loved by your friends on here - take strength from them now in you time of need.

I am day one AF today, the first for very MANY years. You are one of the people that have helped me to get here. Thank you...

K-M :h

Sending you all my positive vibes.

Hey Starlight, I am feeling for you. I am not in that place today, but I have been there many, many, many times before and may be again. Thinking of you, it can be a very dark place to be, but we are here and we understand.

Emotionally drained, but I won tonight!!

Thanks to you all for being here for me..............looks like I am finally over the worst of the cravings for this first night anyway.................just came on like an enormous wave knocking me over when my brain realized there was no drink on the menu tonight.

Sorry for being so emotional, although I do think this is one very emotional journey.

Am going to bed soon..............feel exhausted, exactly like a kid who`s just had the tantrum of all tantrums.

Has been one Hell of a night for me...........as for Day 2 tomorrow.........bring it on!!!........I haven`t been `through the mill` tonight to revert back to drinking tomorrow.

Don`t expect tomorrow night to be significantly easier, but it`s comforting to think that Day 2 surely must be a tiny bit easier than Day 1.

Thankyou for being my friends.

All my love,

Starlight Impress x

Hi Starlight - I'm sorry you are suffering right now. But you can do this. Just hang on for tonight. You will be so glad in the morning.
Sleep well.

Hi Starlight and Everyone in the First Few Days,

You can do it. Maybe you need to keep "forever" in front of you, but I've found it so much easier to just keep sobriety in managable chunks. Just one day, even just one hour at a time. Thinking about forever would make me crazy, even though it's in the back of my mind.

Listen to the wise people here about the supps they are taking. They know what they are talking about.

You are doing a good thing for yourself. It may feel rotten right now, but it will get better. At some point, it will feel normal to be alcohol free.

Lots of love,:h
Kathy
