I see consistently many having trouble sleeping. I take magnesium and calicum at night. This was recommended by my consuler (sp?) and helps me. Magnesium is one of the sups they recommend. My husband was always a Tylenol PM guy and says the magnesium and calicum gives him a much better sleep. Hope this helps some.

Good morning everyone, off to work soon. Hope all are well. You will be ok Mama, soon adjust. Iam going to a wedding tomorrow, feel determined not to drink, just hoping I can stay strong, going with hubby, he helps me stay sober, but most of the people there will be from the medical proffession, and they are certainly a boozy lot. Will drop in later.

good morning everyone! i hope everyone had a peaceful sleep last night. I got a little bit more than i was getting..but still not much. about 4 hours. I worked till ten pm and i managed to make it thru day three with not a drop. I was very worried about last night as thursday nights i always drink at work as soon as we are closed and i have the staff out. kinda a primer for having more when i got home.

so here we are at day four. it is six thirty in the morning and i have to be at work in an hour so not much time to go back and read and comment, but i will do it when i get home this afternoon. I plan on buying two large bottles of perrier water on my way home to sip thru the afternoon as my husband is working till 8pm, so it would be soooo easy to get away with wine. so PERRIER it will be. In a wine glass if necessary lol

talk later
have a great day everyone

Good morning friends, I'm feeling all better.

Today is the beginning of my second AF week, with infinite weeks to come. The 3 wine bottles in the recycle bin this morning all belong to my husband. I checked the cupboard by my livingroom chair, and there were none.

I have a three day weekend every weekend. I am able to do this at my age (58) through good fortune and hard work. I plan to retire in four years.

RC, I hope my reflections on drinking moderately don't sound critical of you. We each need to find our own path. I just post my thoughts, and you often trigger my thinking. Thank you for that. Posting here is something like a public journal for me. It helps me clarify what I'm thinking.

This morning I will take a long walk with my closest friend on a trail made from an abandon railroad bed. I will take my walking stick and our beloved dog. She is three years old, sweet, beautiful and energetic, a perfect size at 30 pounds. She is a rescue dog, found on Petfinder.com. Her personality description enticed us to drive 4 hours each way to get her.

Lexi, this afternoon I will spend reading my current book on the patio, with my fountain plugged in. It will be warm, but they are predicting a nice breeze. I will toast you with my iced tea in a red plastic glass.

Paula, I will be sending you thoughts of strength for that wedding.

Take care, all.

Sunbeam-your posts are cause for me to pause and reflect as well. So we help each other, thanks for saying that. I have adopted habits just like you described so we'll see where that takes me.

Paula will you be taking your favourite al drink? I don't go out much but when I did my first 30(almost)af stint I went to a "Franke Valley" do. It helped that my friend was doing a cleanse with me. I brought along a lovely knudsen 4 pack of spritzers for the night. We were dancing to almost every song. I'm sure people thought we were drinking we were having such a blast. You can too!

Good work to all our newbies. Keep your eyes on your fries.
Canada Day weekend here and my yard sale will be open....wish me luck to sell lots.

Sunbeam, I love your description of sitting outside by the fountain reading a book...I'm jealous! I'll just be on my couch this weekend reading a book (with three dogs huddled around me).
