    starting day 1

    Hey guys, well i have this skin infection and i need to take this certain antibiotic for seven days. the lady told me u could either take this one, or this one. the second one u cannot drink alcohol on, or you get violently ill! lol, so i figured, good way to start out with the program. i planned on starting in september, but i havent gone seven days without alcohol in years. so im gonna try these seven days and maybe drink again after until september, or i may love it and the way i feel and ill not even start drinking again in a week. so i purposely chose the second antibiotic. because if i drink im violently ill in the next seven days. i absolutely can NOT. im nervous. im also in jersey at my bfs family house until monday so i cannot take any of the supplements like the kudzu or glutamine, which are at my house. my bfs friend just called and asked us to go out tonight to this food/drinking bar and im like ugh, im nervous!
    ahh what do you guys do on your first two three days with no drinking when your going out to a bar to eat? i wishi had mykuduz!

    Hey, if you can't drink, you can't drink, right? And you have a great explanation. Enjoy the food.
    Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

      Hi me145,
      I wouldn`t worry in the slightest about what others think of you not drinking, considering you have a valid reason, being on medication.
      I think it`s all the other occasions when we don`t have such a reason for not drinking that concern us more. Pressure from others makes many people feel as if they `have` to have a drink or look for `excuses` for not drinking, and being on medication or on a diet etc. can be a useful little white lie on those occasions.
      I`ve been happily abstaining now for 13 days and hope to continue doing so, and I truly don`t give a toss what others think of that when in company.........I am comfortable with the AF lifestyle now.......being AF is something to be proud of........we shouldn`t be made to feel ashamed of being teetotal, so I`m quite at ease now politely, yet pointedly, telling my company that "I don`t drink".

      Just my perspective on this issue.........hope this helps.

      Wishing you much success,

        Hi Me,
        I do wish you had your supps because the next few days can be rough- can you go to the vitamin store in NJ and buy a few things? Maybe even Benadryl at the regular drugstore to help you sleep. The regular drugstore may also have Calm's Forte.
        Sunny days, sweeping the, clouds away. On my way, to where the air is sweeeet!!! Can you tell me how to get, how to get to......LOL

          hey guys, oh no, im in NO way embarassed in front of people about not drinking. im scared because im craving it right now and when we go out and i see everyone around me drinking and having a blast, im gonna be like UGH!!!!!!!! however, i cant do it! because im on this med that for the next seven days will make me "violently ill" if i take a sip of alcohol. i chose this one on purpose bc i wanted to force myself to try it. im young and my friends are all going out to bars often.. so i dont know what to do. at least we're going out to a regular food bar so i can eat and not just sit there and watch people drink. but im scared, i guarantee you it w/ill be on my mind.. ( watchin them drink) its on my mind right now, because this last week i was drinking every damn day. not getting drunk everyday, but at least four beers. i got bad, and it scares me that im craving alcohol right now....guys i wish i had my supplements... yes, i could go get benedrayl, but i alreayc have sleeping pills, and i dont want to spend money on kudzu or glutamine.. im not sure where id find that around here anywya. wish me lu ck ill talk to you guys later..

            You can get L-glut at vitamin shop- it's called the Vitamin Shoppe (you could get Kudzu there too maybe), or at GNC, in capsule form.
            I didn't know you already had sleeping pills so forget the benadryl!

            It's worth the money, you won't be spending money on booze now anyway. I'm on day 5 and between hubby and I probably have saved $150 already. I am averaging 3 bottles a night together of wine on average of $10 each. $900 bucks a month, probably more because he is a wine snob.
