Morrison you are so funny. I love the mashed taters too but can't eat them coz the doc's put me on a reduced carb diet for 90 days.

Good work Rachel on reducing the cans, girl, just keep it up you CAN do it. And great job on the NO Brandy.

Rachel, you're getting there with those baby steps, just keep on reducing the drink slowly every few days.. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon, but please don't give up..

Oh, and I'll be in the queue right behind morrison, roast, mash, peas and gravy for me please, thank you very much..

You are doing so great on cutting down Rachel. It will get better. Have you been able to get a dr. appt for something to help with detox? It does seem ridiculous that our body feels worse at first but this seems to be common.

Hi rachel28,
Be proud of yourself for cutting down. Fortunately, I never drank until around 8/9 pm, although I did drink every night.Am 3 nights off the booze.
Seems like you know what you want and you`ve made a good start. We just have to believe in ourselves, because we are all bigger and better than alcohol.

Good luck,
Starlight Impress
