The Big Clearout!
Thanks everyone.
I still have a couple of hours to go before I see the doctor. I hopped on here for some strength and courage! I am a bit worried now about Birds' experience of having to go 2 weeks AF before the Campral could be prescribed.... is that the norm? Oh well, I'll just have to see what happens.
Louise, I had those exact thoughts yesterday as I poured the drink away..... the labels on the bottles made it all seem so classy and acceptable to pop a cork. Ok, it is fine for some but I have to accept that it's not fine for me. I see movies or programmes on TV and everyone seems to have a drink in their hand, or just about to pour a drink and just that used to trigger me off to think, oh well, they're having one so I can.... how stupid is that? What gives me added strength is the fact that I managed to cut out smoking about 10 years ago .... just decided to do it and that was that. I used to see people smoking outside, and on TV and get a little craving but not do anything about it. Still never smoked since and I never will. So, if I can do that.... then of course I can do this!!
Cash, yup, exercise and healthy eating will come hand in hand with me stopping drinking. When I don't drink I want to walk and eat healthily. When I do drink, I have no energy to do anything and I eat more unheathily. I still cook when drinking but add more things like cream, butter or deep fry things that I would normally grill!!!!
Beaches, you have hit the nail on the head.
That statement hits home and is something that I am working on. Thanks for that.
Bird, hope you will be okay with just the Kudzo. I suppose it is a great incentive to hang on in there in order for you to get your Campral! Strength to you.
Starlight, yes, I am proud. I am surprised how easy it was to do. I wouldn't have done that before. I would have left the booze in the house "just in case". Well, there is no "just in case" this time..... it's just not going to happen. It's gone. I refuse to waste any more money on the stuff!!
Youngatheart... thanks. Yes, I definately feel I am in the right corner now with my boxing gloves on, ready to take this on and win!
Well, I am going on a bit this morning but it is really fantastic to be able to "talk" to you all this way. Just like the last time I went to the doctors, when I was very very nervous I think I said that I felt you all "holding my hand" there. Well, it's the same this time. Thank you. :h
Better go and get myself ready. Does anyone else have a shower, cut their toenails, shave their legs and pits, pluck their eyebrows, make sure they have good underwear on and clean their ears out just to have a chat with their doctor.........?

Once you are at peace with yourself then everything else will fall into place.
