Anyone in the First Week of Their Unpteenth Quit?

[Lizann]

Good morning. Ready to take on this Monday. Saturday morning I woke up to a sick dog again. A huge trigger for me. I worry she has pancreatitis. Had to get to the church car wash. No one was home and the liquor store was already open and yes I hugely tempted. I had promised Ellen (my twin) that I would call her first if tempted. I did, go figure she wasn't home. But just making that call first somehow helped. Drove right past the liquor store on my way to the church car wash. Crisis averted. Heard all your positive comments in my head. Thanks guys.

Oops, hit the post by mistake. Anyway Lucy is feeling better again. I wonder if this could still be residual from vacation?
Skyped with Mark on Saturday. He is doing well, settled in. He likes is flat mates and coworkers. They are keeping him busy. He is the only American among them and they are intrigued by him, his culture and background. I find that interesting. I know the Swiss government keeps a tight lid on work visas, especially Americans.
Well I could talk about him forever, suffice it to say he is enjoying his time in Basel.
Happy Monday guys.

Liz - good for you! I am back to day 1 and am very unhappy with myself. Just want to cry. Why did I do it? No good reason at all!

Nora, day 1 means you have not given up! Right now I count any day AF as a bonus considering how I have been this past few months....so try, try and try again....one day it will happen for good.
Day 3 for me. Sat up far too late finishing the book I was reading so a very unproductive day. I did do my hypno cd and cycled 10k so happy enough. Glad to see everyone back. MWO is so quiet at weekends.

Day 4 done ! Gym and swim....feeling good. So so quiet....hope everyone is ok.

Good job on day 4 Daisy is the Amoryn helping you BTW? I tried it awhile ago but it made me anxious, good mood enhancer though

Thanks Pauly. Too early to tell...only 2 days. It recommends a couple of weeks to see the difference. How long did you give it? Good to see you on here

I was on it 4 weeks exactly Daisy,I bought a bottle a couple months ago maybe I'll try it again, I was going through a lot back then,that could've contributed to the anxious feeling, or maybe I'm just sensitive to an ingredient,who knows

[daisy45]

I will let you know how it goes for me.

Hello all - I'm home, paid some bills and just about to grab my Kindle and chill. We did not go to the meditation class tonight because my back is still acting up. We'll try again next week. Have a great evening everyone!

Hey guys. At work, my boss is away. Mammo this morning. Not a fun way to start the day, but. Not much new around my parts. Just checking in and letting you all know I'm plugging along. happy hump day.

Hey All,

New to the thread, not new to the game. I am on day 3 of my 1,000 quit. 37 yof....I have been trying to quit and knew I would have to since before I started to drink. I am tired, so tired. I don't want this to kill me like it killed my parents and even more then that I want my kids to know different. My drinking is ten fold more "functional" then my parent's drinking was. My husband and I don't fight....but I am remembering less...it seems to be getting worse and I can feel my body rotting from the inside out. I want my #1 goal every morning to stay sober. And if I should ever fail...I will not waist one extra day...I will come rigth back here. I am going to get some suppliments, exercise, post, breathe, seek counseling, AA, hypno CD's and hang out here. I want this time to be my last quit. Thank you guys for being warriors against addiction with me. I am lucky to have you all.

Tat a, welcome! Yes come here. We help one another. Just another way to be accountable.
Quiet here these days. Finished another book last night, and I actually remember what I read, refreshing for sure. Anyway, hot cloudy and humid today! Not much planned, which is definitely not a good thing. Need to keep myself busy or those thoughts creep in. Have a good one guys!

[NoraC]

Hi Tata - great to meet you. You are certainly not alone! Congrats on Day 3. I am on Day 4 and am beginning to feel the difference in my body, my mood, just everything. I need to remember the positive when those thoughts start sneaking in.

Liz - You and I are going to read everything at this point. LOL I go home & start reading. That keeps me busy and that's what I need right now.

Have a great day everyone!

Welcome Tat!

I'm new to this thread too....I absolutely love the support without criticism when we slip up...nothing but kindness and love!

I take supplements too...including milk thistle and livercare (liv 52)for liver health. If you are on prescribed meds please check with your doctor first. But they work very well for me.

As I've been told keep reading and posting and reading even if you slip keep coming back!😀

Welcome again!
