30 days???

Ok, I'm in starting today, more2life has me convinced that for the most part, we are alot a like in our drinking habits, most times I can moderate, but then whammmm....opps, and back to feeling awful.....thought about it all night last night.....if I get overwhelmed about something, I may as well get a rope, hang a bottle of Pinot Grigio around my neck, find a twirly straw, and just get ready to wake up wanting to die...so here goes....Day One....whew....I'm scared and praying, but thank goodness you are all here, and I SO PROUD of you that are succeeding, I want to be one of you too!...... Crossing my fingers, eyes and toes!!! For all of us!

30 days???

Hello Toughintexas, nice to talk to you in chat last night - great to see you in this thread!!!

Aduggan (congrats on 7days) and Shezian welcome and can't wait to see you counting up.

Released - awesome 16 days I know how great it feels (tomorrow is my 18th day and that is the most I have done in years and years)

More2life I didn't realise we were level pegging!!!!! Im really excited actually. I am soooo looking forward to getting to the 30 days. Can't wait.

Hablur - I was shit scared of going AF again too (as well as being too hung over sometimes), but after the first 4 days (and you have to just get yourself past those) it was ok. Easier.

Happy - You are doing better than I was before I started AF!! Your AF days in between add up to mine. Thats great! I wasn't doing any AF days at all and calling that mods.

Luv and hereatlast you guys are steaming along in front (you are going to be waving the chequered flag and watching us all come in you know!!)

30 days???

Hi Everyone! I'm in if it's okay! I have been posting on the Just Starting thread...today is my Day One AF. I'm in the witching hour and am feeling crummy, anxious and jonesing for the last of the vodka I sucked down last night in preparation for my journey towards freedom from addiction. Look forward to getting to know everyone here, I'm very scared and hopeful at the same time.

Got the CD's and supps yesterday...no Topa yet, sigh.

Addiction Sucks!

30 days???

Day 3 AF.

In-laws are coming to town today and they have all kinds of work projects for me starting this friday. He Dad is going to help me put up a fense. Saturday is a neiborhood block party (first one since we moved here) and Sunday I have more work to do. I have monday and Friday off.

I really am not sure how this weekend is going to go for me. Oh I also go to the PDoc on Friday for Topa. Lets home I make it through the weeked. Her parents kind of stress me out. They always buy us tons of shit that we cant afford and it kind of bothers me.

30 days???

More, 17 days vs 1 wins. Don't beat yourself up - nobody said this was going to be easy. And kudos to hubby for trying to support you. It's not easy with another drinker in the house, as I know.

:h :h :h

30 days???

Hi everyone...I'm on Day One Redo, sigh. Couldn't kick the cravings last night and had my ever supportive husband pick something up for me on his way home. The silence on the other end of the phone, however, was deafening upon my hearing my request (kills me).

Really good news is that I only had two drinks and really just sipped the second one, then went and listened to my CD's.

Thank you Barb for reminding me that this is a PROCESS and I stopped beating myself black and blue. So back on track.

I'm soooo happy for everyone's success, and love seeing the support.

Hugs,

sunny

Oh More2life you are so clever to organize this wonderful group we have here...
Today is day 17 and I'm so shocked happily I might add... I now enjoy tea in the evenings.. Have a good night everybody !
We're in this together. Hablur enjoy the help your family is offering in whatever form it might be. Some people show love in different ways. Good luck with fence building and your party. You will be just fine Sweety. :goodjob:
Until tomorrow my special family.... ~Niblet~
Chin up all, you are not alone.
