OCTOBER CHALLENGE...
I wish I could be in too, but I don't think I can do it. Every morning I feel so strong but as the day goes on, the DT's start bothering me. My skin hurts, and it burns now. If I try to sleep without any before bed I toss and turn and wake in a pool of sweat...not to mention keeping him from sleeping. The shakes are getting to the point where it is embarrassing to go out. I can't even drink a glass of water without holding it with 2 hands. I have been trying to mod down and doing "ok", I guess...comparitively. My "situational" depression is like a roller coaster, I am not bi-polar, but it feels like it lately. AL is self medicating me. Sorry, this probably needed it's own thread...I am happy to see you guys have a good strong group to start Oct with. I didn't say I WASN'T going to do it, I just said I didn't think I could...but I said that a few months back that I wouldn't make it till 1pm and I did 30 days...who knows.
I am not "religious" so I picked out this really ugly (I think it's cute) wooden sculpture with some weird hair on the top to be my higher power. Maybe I just need to carry it around with me today.Give a man a beer, he'll waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, he'll waste a lifetime.

Hi
Thought of 30 days AF scares the hell out of me, but I'm in.
Day 4 today, and craving the whiskey, but not wanting it, if that makes sense.Comment

OCTOBER CHALLENGE...
I have to do this!!
Count me in - I have to do it!!
Hubby left me on tues due to my drinking, have had to take time off work lately due to my drinking! Met up with an old friend 2 wks ago after 20 yrs and can't remember most of the evening due to my drinking!
Feel remorseful, guilty and ashamed - which makes me reach for the wine even more. Have to overcome this - family concerned - made an appt for a blood test and never went - I'm frightened of what the results may be?
October - here we come!!!!!!!!!:new:Comment

Chardonnay,
I hope you see this before you have made a decision you will regret. Put up the wine or pour it down the drain and start drinking water; jaz it up a bit and use seltzer (sparkling) water with something fruity mixed in with it; add some ice and pause for a minute. I wish I could be there to get rid of it for you, but only you can do this. Think about your family; what it would mean to them, and especially, what it means to you.

Hi
Tawny - like Chardonnay I don't go to my GP as I can't afford to have anything on my record about having this 'little problem', did you go to yours for the liver function tests. If not where do you go?Comment

I am new here-just today in fact. I am going to take on the 30 day challenge. Starting today. This is probably going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done.
I need to show myself that I can do it though.
I'm in!Comment
