STILL SOBER

[maddiva]

I had a bad weekend in the sense that it was touch and go if I would return to my old ways of wine, but posts on here helped me and also Cymru who advised me to take the Kudzu, which I did. Guess what? It helped me. So I have been taking them along with b vitamins and glutamine which is amazing for those sweet cravings that have been rather overpowering at times. I am so glad that I did not drink. My face is now back to normal, no puffiness. My health is slowly starting to recover and I am looking forward instead of looking back. In no way would I become complacent and say 'that is it' for I was overwhelmed with feelings of wanting a drink, just that nice cold glass of wine, but I know that is impractical for me. I want a future and drink was destroying what little hope I had, it made me depressed, fat and miserable. Thank you to all who have supported me, this website is a godsend to me, I do not have to go to AA meetings. I can come on line. Hope everyone is doing ok and happy

Isn't it nice when our faces start to look good again? I loved it when the puffiness went away. That alone is reason enough not to drink everyday. Keep hanging tough Maddiva, I love your strength.

Way to Go!! Maddy. I didn't even realize how bloated and puffy I was until it all went away. Great feeling. Stay strong.

Oh, yes the physical changes part of quitting. I just love it. The puffiness goes away, your eyes become big and bright. Healthy colouring in your face.

Good for you for riding it out! Stand tall and be very proud!
