I have to admit it has not easy...but it has not been super hard either....I have been very sloth-like...my bed keeps calling my name!!

Sometimes the bed helps during the first few days. :h

The first few days can be real tough. Hang in there and come here often. Try thinking of a real bad hangover. That helps me when I want to drink. I do not ever want another hangover. And if I were to drink again, I know I would be hungover the next day because I doubt I would be able to stick to 1.

MB. I was super sleepy and tired when I first quit. I just tried to rest as much as I could.

MB, I know today is especially hard. But it will be over, and the future can be clear and welcoming for a brighter, happy, AL-free life. You know what to do, and you know what you can gain, and what you can lose. But you are on your way to beating this all, and being the wonderful woman I know, and better. I'm sorry about your loss; Miss Kitty was special to you, but you will move on an upward, daughter-friend. I know you can, and will.

Yes, but it's hard to imagine. I love this girl. She makes me laugh, she lifts me up, and she is the perfect, funny, houseguest. She can do anything, overcome anything, and she will. I love her to pieces. She is my daughter from a different mother! :H

Hi Mama :l
Are you still taking Antabuse? Just remember, you went to a VH concert sober and had a BLAST! You can do anything sober and have a great time. I know it's hard sometimes...I get the ugly Beast breathing down my neck sometimes too...but kick his ass to the curb. You can do this Mama!
Love,
K9

Mama -
My daughter is gone to a friends tonight, and it's about 80 degrees outside...I'd love to sit out in the back yard with a Bud....or would I? Sure, the first few sips would be delightful...but fast forward to beer #12 and I'd be stumbling around, being a bitch and doing lord-knows-what. Then tomorrow I'd feel like sh*t all day, dry heaving with a pounding head. No thanks! I can sit outside tonight with some iced tea!
Stay strong Mama!
Love,
K9

MamaBear,

Those cravings can come out of nowhere and bite you in the ass! Just ride it through and know that as time goes by, they occur less frequently and are much less intense.
