Evening everyone and a big welcome Sante. Lilyrose you sound as tho you r struggling as much as I am right now. Is it a day 4 thing cuz both u and me are on day 4. I am so craving a drink but am typin furiously on here trying to get through it. Is it worse because its friday and the weekend is looming?? dont think I'm going to be able to not drink tomorrow.

Maxineanne, Hold on in there honey!!!! All those bits that hurt will get better with time, its just cuz its the first few days. Like I said to Lilyrose, you will wake up tomorrow and feel like s***! Try to hold out. Drink water, orange, anything but alcohol.........
Hope you can do it.

i'm ok

OK, I'm no longer AF, but I didn't blow it big time. I'm going to bed now, a bit relaxed but I sipped very very slowly and made sure I didn't guzzle like I usually would. Tomorrow's the real test. And when I get paid, I am making my orders for the meds etc. I feel like I'm on the edge of a cliff, wondering if I'll stay on top or not. I'm fed up with the black outs and wondering how I got into bed, and waking up with all my clothes on to quickly change to the children don't see me.......Please, any of you out there with the same feelings who have kids? The guilt is terrible. I end up buying them useless toys etc just to appease my guilt..... I know I'm right at the beginning of recovery and I'm determined to get there. Did I tell you I'm selling my house right now and things are a bit touch and go? I guess I'll use anything as an excuse!

Amelia, thanks for your words of support. I know that feeling. That's why I kept sober (ish)
Sante, hope you were ok tonight. Sorry I didn't say hi earlier. So wrapped up in myself
Maxin - Yes, I think it is the 'day 4' thing, I never seem to get past it, once to day 5, but that's it. Yes, I ache all over too, and feel exhausted. I personally don't think I'm doing it properly like the others, I need to order my All in One etc and work harder at it. If you feel like a drink tomorrow, I'm at work so can be logged in all day. (not sure where you're located) but I'd be happy to talk things over with you should you need it.

Going to bed now - Goodnight and god bless to you all X:fingers:

Welcome Scooter:welcome: We would love to have you here!! Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Lilyrose, I'm glad you were able to sip and stay in control - well done. It also does sound like you are under pressure at the moment as far as your circumstances go. I'm glad you checked back in last night to let us know how you were getting on - keep up posted:l

Maxineanne - sounds like you made it to bed AF? Hope so. Yep the first week is really hard, but it does get easier.
When I did my last 30 days I was out of my mind for the first 5 or 6 days REALLY!
Cranky, tired, moody, tearful, couldn't sleep - the whole works. It's just our bodies adjusting.

Poppy - Hope everything is still going AOK with you too and that hubby is not depriving you from too much sleep with his snoring!!

Sante - Looking forward to hearing your news.

Tahlula - You must be on the evening of your 5th day!! Wahooo!

Anyhow all of you (newbies as well) take care and keep posting!

Mucked up

:boohoo: Things changed quickly after my last entry. I had a huge row with hubby, and opened another bottle. I have to start all over again. Don't feel like writing much. Very very depressed today. Not a lot is right in my life at the moment.......

Hope you are all ok though, Tahula, you sound euphoric.

:hug:

Hi Everyone: Please remember to pick yourself up & dust yourself off & start again when you have a slip. I can't tell you how many & how severe my slips were. I'm now day 19 & don't have nearly the craving I had earlier on. Each day strengthens my resolve. I was up & down from April until early July & then just said: "I'm doing this one day at a time." Each day I go forward wo/alcohol is a stronger day for me. Today I don't feel real great, but this is nothing compared to the hungover & guilt-ridden days I've had while drinking. Keep on keeping on. Love, Mary

Thank you Mary. I need to hear those words of reassurance. I'm scared of failing. Failing to be the mother I want to be, failing to keep myself healthy for them to be around when they are older. Funny thing is, i look at other mums/women and feel envy that I can't be sensible like them. I feel half a person with this problem. It makes me feel weak. No-one has a clue at work, they all think I am a respectable mum. They would be horrified if they knew. can't seem to move forward, maybe when I move, things will change. And then, I've always got you guys! RJ deserves a medal for dreaming this forum up!

Life Balance

Hang in there LilyRose. I know how streesful it can be trying to balance work and being a parent. The guilt and self criticism can be brutal. As a beginner, I'm so inspired by all of your efforts...

Good on you.

I'm new at this MWO site and am posting on newbies.
Anyway, try " Setralin" (ingredient) if you can get it down your way. 50mg every morning and 300mg Thiamin tabs 3 times a day. This will help your liver to recover and the Setralin will begin to alieviate the alcohol induced depressions we all have lurking in the wings.
This has helped me complete 40 days, plus a lot of help and support from family and friends. My social group is full of pit falls i.e there's alcohol available at every turn. Just fess up to whoever and say "No thanks - I have given up drinking - it makes me ill." Besides, if you are like a lot of us here, we've drunk enough to sink various battleships.!!

Talk later
