Would just like to say a big HELLO to everyone. I've been here now for 26 days, I found this site on the morning of the 30th of September, when I woke up with the worst hangover I've ever had, not knowing how much I had drunk the night before untill i saw the empty bottles. I have been AF now for 25 days and guess what today is my BIRTHDAY I am 59 years old today and giving up alcohol is by far the best present I have ever given myself. I'ts not been easy but it has been easier then all the other times I've tried and I owe it all to this site. When I've stopped drinking before that's all I've done just stopped but my everyday life remained the same. Mostly in the evenings I would sit and watch television and think of little else but that one more bottle of wine, but having read as much as I can on here I realised I had to keep my brain as well as my body active. I have tailored the programme to suit myself, I take Kudzu and vits as well as supps but no meds yet. Also to distract my brain and keep it busy I went out and bought lots of puzzle books, even some kiddies colouring books and felt tip pens and it works because if I start to think about drinking out comes a puzzle book and maybe half an hour will pass and I realise I feel okay again. Although it hasn't all been as easy as that, there have been some hard times as well but I have coped with them. Now instead of remembering how bad it feels to wake up with a hangover in the morning I focus on how bloody marvellous it is to wake up feeling so good and ready to start the day, so I would like to say a big THANK YOU to MWO for being there for me.
Good Luck to everyone out there going through this as well, my thoughts are with all of you.
