Hello to all... closing in on day 2... feeling a little tense, anxious and unsettled

[Waiting for the Sun]

Hello to all! Could use a little help here. I'm closing in on day 2 without a drink and feeling a little "uneasy". Keep telling myself that I made it through day 1 without my friend White Zinfandel. I can't seem to remember how long its been since I have gone a whole day without a glass of wine. This is progress!!! Keep asking for strength from the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How can I fail ? Reading your posts have been a great source of comfort for me. I am "Waiting for the Sun".:new:

Hi Wait,
Have you tried not thinking about it? I know alcohol has dominated our lives for so long , but by telling yourself how hard it is, it will be, but on the other hand, by telling yourself alcohol is not important in your life, gradually your thinking will begin to shift too.
As Sweaty asks, have you got a plan or strategy to keep you away from the wine, keep you occupied?
Hope to read about day 4.... then day 5.....

:welcome:Waiting, these first days are the hardest but if you can come up with a plan, read, post, keep your mind occupied it does get easier. I was a big wine drinker too! Welcome to a great place to get support if you want to have a healthier life! :l

Well done also on day 2 - the first days are the hardest.. the anxiety will fade away - it is just your body getting used to being without AL - soon your brain will "reorder" itself and the nervous feeling will pass.. hang in there, and eat healthily, drink lots of water..

Hey waiting for the sun. I love your name. It's also a song by The Doors. One of my favourite bands. Just remember, our minds be very powerful. It can cause us to believe that we must have that drink, but like everyone's said, if you change your mindset, you'll grow stronger. I'm on day 3. And it's taken me a long time to get here, but this site builds my resolve everyday. Read everyday, and write your feelings here. And just keep remembering why you've decided to guit in the first place keep up the great work. You can chat to me or message me anytime you feel weak or down respect! Peace and love.

Great making it to day 2! White zin was my drink of choice, but it wasn't a friend to you or me or maybe it was a backstabbing friend. Lured me in with promises of relaxation then drove my life mad. I pray to get to the point where I hate it instead of miss it.

I hope you are feeling better today WFTS?
Kelly - you are very welcome.. a good place to start though is in "just starting out", then try the "newbies nest".. but feel free to read and post wherever you would like.. you could even start a thread of your own and introduce yourself..

Day 2!!

Hi Waiting for the Sun, how are you? Today is my 2nd day. I feel healthy, not draggin myself around like usual. Little anxious about the weekend. Having this forum has helped me alot. I'm still learning my way around. To Kelly: We're both new, so stay in touch. Everyone is very inspiring. Hopefully I can return the favor someday. Love to all, Bom 79:new:

Welcome to you too Bom79!
Congratulations on making it to day 2! Be proud of that because you've made it through the difficult first step. Don't worry about the weekend, but do prepare for it. Make a plan to keep yourself busy...or if you're like me, just relax and enjoy all your free time. Catch up on TV or read a good book. I know some other members around here are trying new things like latch hook kits and paint by numbers...may sound silly, but it keeps your mind and hands occupied, and turns out to be fun!
Let us know how you're doing...you've found a place that will offer much support and encouragement.
