    One Step at a Time - July 2013

    home from another wild day. I made an offer to someone and they accepted! Now I have to just get through the next two weeks
    Hope everyone has a peaceful sober night
    I did not have time to text K9, but I will try in a bit
    I love my family more than alcohol.:h

          Hey Pauly,

          I'm not the best on advice but can you get a really good healthy meal and plenty of water in you right now? Let the blood sugar equalize and then go from there, okay. That's the best I can offer friend.

            Pauly it's that little prehistoric part of your brain telling you something is different than usual, that's all. You've trained it to think alcohol is the way to get fuel, and it thinks it's missing out.

            I find it helps if I try and treat it the way I would have treated my kids if they were having a tantrum in the sweets aisle in the supermarket. I just remind it that I know what's better and it can scream and pound its little hands and fists but it won't do any good because I know better what's good for us.

            PS - PMS is the absolute pits for cravings so treat yourself to something else if it will help.

              Hi everybody!
              Day 2 was quite busy - hairdresser and appointment with my mental health counselor (in AUS via GP you can get 12 sessions paid by medicare) so double therapy. Probably hair done is always the best "therapy" for a women.
              Counselor is not a total solution for my AL problem but a help and as i don' t have anybody here from my relatives or old friends (they are all in Europe) it is good that i can talk with somebody about my emotional problems and domestic staff and relationship as well.

              Shelbie - how is your Day 2? I didn't sleep very well last night but was so happy to wake up with good feeling about myself - i didn't drink last night and my brain starts working properly (slowly!) again.

              Hi Juja! Thanks for warm words - yes, i know first days are the worst physically (at least for me) but as i don' t have witching hours as habitual drinkers ( i am a emotional drinker - doesn't matter what time is - as i moved to AUS my life doesn't have routine, a bit chaos tough) i have witching days - Day 6, Day 12, Day 15.. My longest AF period was 22 days.
              As i am binge drinker and after binge (2 - 7/8 days) i get very sick i stop. But i am tired of this cycle - AF, binge, AF, binge etc. During AF period my body recovers, my mind becomes sharp again, i feel positive, i make plans, even do something productive than - blah.. Here we go again. But i really want to spend nice time with my daughter because i don' t know when i' ll see her again in a year.

              Hello JackDanielsgirl! I assume it was your favorite drink? Thanks for welcome!
              Will try to post every day!

                running late...I slept like the dead
                Pauly...my therapist said a craving lasts 20 minutes.....don't know if I agree but tell yourself to hang on and it will pass
                have not heard back from K9
                gotta blaze

                  Morning everyone mama, allswell, juja, pauly, glass, Audrey, Shelby, and anyone I missed,

                  Well I finally sent the e-mail surrendering my license, kinda surreal. I do feel good about it deep inside and know it is for the best for now, and in 12 months I can get them back.

                  Hope everyone has a great Tuesday
                  JDG

                  ps. It WAS my favorite drink.

                    JDG, you sound calm about turning in your license. Are you thinking that 12 months will give you breathing room, time to get AF, and reassess? Just wondering.... If I remember, you said you were very good at your job as a nurse, right? You'll get a job once you get your license back, no-o-o problem.

                    Audrey, now I remember you! Moved to Aussie, no friends, etc.! Right? The "domestic staff" was the big clue.:H Again, think of your daughter...

                    I've been enjoying my husband's fishing trip. I've gotten so much done, plus I've read a book and watched two movies! Me, watching movies! Oh, I had a local jack-of-all trades come and dig up some HUGE weeds, and I planted more perennials. The best thing is, I had him haul away a gas grill DH wouldn't fix (it had a minor problem; he fixed it before) and a smoker we never use. Can't wait to see how long it takes him to notice.:H

                    Working an extra day this week, which I really don't want to do. We're short staffed, though, so I feel I need to do my part. Good girl Juja.

                    Tired this a.m. due to second dose of AB. Won't take it tonight. I have to be able to function.

                    It just started to rain. How perfect for my newly--planted flowers.

                        Hello my friend juja,

                        Yes I believe this time will give me more days sober under my belt and help me adjust to dealing with life sober. Yes I am good at my job but due to the financial strain it will also help with the finances, because it will be almost a year before I get to go back to work anyway.

                        I am calm about it because I know its best for now.

                        Thank you for asking, Hope you have a great day at work.
                        JDG

                          Quick check in from work. I had such a stiff neck yesterday that I was in bed by 6:00.

                          I just wanted to say how great it is to see such determination. :h These past 4 months have been so hard for me. It's nice to be feeling like I can do this now. :thanks:

                          Love & hugs to all. :l:l
