    30 days???

    Hey Bootcamp! Welcome, this is the greatest place to be! Stick with posting and chat with us, and let us know anytime you need a boost, support or a shoulder to cry on, we've all been there, done that, didn't get a t-shirt....lol....Good luck, and the sleep thing will pass....there's a great powder called Calm...you mix it with warm water and even some splenda if you like, and drink it before bedtime, about 2 tsp's, and it really, really works, should be able to get it in any health food/grocery store, big bucket for only about 20.00...and its magnesium, which we depleted lots of during overindulging! Try it out with the Calms Forte, and there's a natural Rescue Sleep also....I totally understand how much better even tired feels, than hungover....I never, ever want to wake up feeling that way again, ever....please Lord save me from myself!

      Ain't that the truth..."please Lord save me from myself too".....I have prayed that prayer a few times myself and thank the good Lord for answering it.

        30 days???

        I was trying to start my week off right this morning...(even tho its Tues...lol)...but its the first day I've had here at home since the holiday weekend, and I was "shoring" myself up with a few of my fav Big Guy quotes....like...."No weapon (wine) formed againist me will prosper"! "Become what you Believe" (sober, at peace, fit, and rested),.... "If God is for us, then who/what can be againist us" (nothing evil like the wine beast will get me!).... "Greater is He who is in me, than who or what is in this world".....so I just take those and make it fit my situation, and hang on tight.....lol.....

          Way to go boots and lucky. The first days are hard, but after a week or so yoyu will look forwardto building on what you have accompllished. More2, you know you can do this.

          I have had a busy day, and I am starting to feel like a normal persona again. It is weird to me how different things are when I am sober. I had gotten so used to being drunk or having a hangover I don't know how to react to normal life. I am standing back on my feet again though and voicing my opinion.

          I need to go back to work, so I will catch up with y'all later.

            30 days???

            For REAL this time!!!

            Okay, I've been here on MWO about 5 weeks, made some attempts at mod, never quite got to AF... and learned a lot about my self and this addiction.

            And today, on my daughter's 10th birthday, I am going all the way!! Day One of many to come. Even though I drank last night, all weekend, I feel better already, because I am so resolved I don't have any of that monkey mind going on (should I drink tonight? how can i not? maybe just a couple... I feel like shit from last night... I'm such a bone head...). I feel freer already, stronger and confident that my life is no longer on the verge of great change, but has embarked on great change. I am quite excited!!

            About sleep troubles - when I was truly moderating (just a couple drinks) I had a terrible time sleeping. But I tried melatonin and it worked wonders. I wouldn't recommend it for younger folks (under 40).

            Thanks, hugs and blessings. Onward ho!!

            :yay:

              OK... I'll bite Imatree. Why cant folks under 40 not take the melatonin to help sleep?

                oh - sorry - Melatonin is a hormone that exists naturally in all creatures. From what I understand, it regulates all of our cycles, including sleep cycles. Our pineal gland produces less of it as we age. That's where the supplement comes in handy for the not-so-young among us. Take it and it reinforces the sleep cycles we had in our younger days.
                I have heard from others in their 30's that it totally kicked their butt - super groggy and dopey the next day. My theory is that the younger have plenty natural melatonin and to supplement is too much in addition.

                  Welcome aboard Tree. I know what you mean about finally deciding I don't have to drink. It is a hard thing to do when you have relied on booze for years. i think it is one of the biggest obstacles for people wanting to be AF. If that little voice in your mind is always saying "when" it is hard to move on. Good for you

                    Welcome IMATREE!

                    Well guys, this is my 1000th post and for several days I knew it was coming and I knew I wanted to post it here...tearing up....I just want this group to know how very special you all are to me. We have never met and may never meet, but there is not a day of my life goes by that I do not think of each of you. I hope that you are doing well and that I will hear from you and know you "made it through" another day and that I have you to lean on and that I will be here for you to lean back. I came to this site in March and what a mess I was. And then in April we started this thread. And we have been here everyday since, checking in, lifting each other up, leaning on each other. You listen to the good and the bad and the NOTHING...just the rambling. You all have listened to my tears through Billy's 1 year death anniversary 4/23/06 and are now going through Mama's illness with me, you listen to my stories about my kids...you're here through it all. I am very grateful for each and every one of you.
                    LUVUALL!!!! >>>>

                        Although I joined last summer, I've only been coming here regularly since March too. I just wanted to let you know that your posts have been a wonderful inspiration for me. Congratulations on being our next official "senior" member!

                          More2 you are such an awesome person to have here !! So much knowlege and caring thoughts ... Imatree, you have really set your roots in deep and we love having you here... You are a wealth of information. Toughintexas, I'm sending up prayers and can't wait for your wonderful news on your recent checkup... Do you have something happening with one of your horses needing veterinary assistance? I took my old Cody for a little bareback/leadrope plod through the back bush.. We both had a nice lil' time.. He's my best friend... Bootsie, your sleep will come back honest... As you experience different things, both good and bad, try to think positively about it because your body is actually healing itself... Chin Up, ONWARD !! Luv, I had my Hubby read you lil' note to him and I really think that you put the icing on his wonderful day. Thank-You my friend.

                            i'm quite fond of bootsie actually. i think i'll coin that. perhaps that will be my new license plate for my car. so if you see me in l.a. l.a. land you'll know it's me racing down the coast line but sober. thanks guys and gals. instead of coming home and picking up a bottle. i came home and took my meds/supps and made a cup of tea and got on line with you all. nice nice nice. head ache. wow, must be that coming off of booze land. and to think i drank 4 out 7 days and still am detoxing. oy veh. but i do want to thank whoever posted about the night sweats. cuz now i'm thinking i'm not menopause gal baking the oven. i'm detox girl getting healthy. and since most of my friends tend to be normies, think how nice it will be to actually walk amongst the land. well someday. for now i'm on day 4 and hanging with you all. traded in my wine for strawberries, nuts and tea. i can't believe i'll actually be one of those people that will go to bed like normal people instead of staying up til midnite or til 5 a.m. well, again, stay with the tea bootsie.
