    AF August and a new attitude!

    Well I chickened out before but I rescheduled a doc appointment next Fri. Although I am debating to go to a regular doc or change and go to a natural one. Either way I just want to get checked. After my scare with those crazy symptoms. I'm feeling better, but it got me to thinking......WTF am I really doing to my body. I read up on healing the damages of AL and it went into detail about what AL does to us. I always thought because I didn't get hangovers and always felt good it was no big deal. So wrong. I'm rethinking how I feel about good ol AL. I need to protect my body. If I continue to drink like this, am I GIVING myself cancer? Sure feels like it. I had no idea how much damage I was doing to myself.

    I ordered Baclofen online. I figured I'm going to try it and don't need my Docs permission. I will probably talk with them about it though. I ordered Dr A's book too.

    I'm planning on an AF August. I'm going to get a cleanse and take extra supps. I'm so worried about my health now I don't want to drink. Feels like poison to me now. I guess thats the kick in the butt I needed. I just have to give my body a break and a chance to heal.

    Oh, by the way. I am a big advocate of the CD's but had a hard time finding the time and really "getting into it". Just recently when I first wake up and am still in sleepy mode I have been giving myself messages. Just thought of a few things and keep repeating them to myself while in that state. Heck mornings is when I'm most motivated. Usually because I'm feeling ashamed or trying to remember the night before. Feels like its helping me change my attitude and its easier than the CD's for me.

    Sorry for the long post but it's helped me clarify things.

    So here's to an AF August!

      Thanks BB

      I AM determined. I kind of feel like I don't have a choice. I just so scared about what damage I might have done. I keep reading about how AL effects the body and that keeps me focused.

      Anyone else want to join us for an AF August?

                  August is going to be a GREAT month!

                  AK, re. being scared .... That was one of my biggest motivators. There was a thread started a little while ago about being scared straight. Lots of good reading there. If you're interested, here is a link:

                  AF for two years. Slight relapse. Working on it at the moment.

                    Thanks for the link. I will have to read more.

                    You wanna hear something stupid. After all this, it's getting close to time to get off work and AL is whispering in my ear...You can start tomorrow, or wait til the Bacfolen gets here.

                    My gosh he is persistant :upset:

                      We can do this girl. F%&k AL and his filthy lies. Those whispering are bullshit! They may sound like sweet to the ear, but he is standing behind you with his ugly fang grin and rubbing his hands together. "Yes, honey keep feeding me so I can grow and grow; it just makes me stronger and you weaker. It allows me to never die, at least not until you do: when I kill you."

                        I want this so bad. I would give anything to just have a week AF. I think if I could just get past the hump I would be fine. I'm going to white knuckle it until the Baclofen gets here.

                        Ya know it's just crazy how we justify ourselves. Mine was always..."well I work hard and I take care of my son, I drink but usually don't get drunk, I'm a good person, I know other people who drink much more........blah blah blah" What a bunch of crap. I'm a f#%&ing alcoholic who is damaging my body and I just need to STOP.

                        (Sorry, had to get tough on myself)

                        I don't have a computer at home right now. I'll check back on monday
                        Sending good vibes to all for a AF weekend!
