Hi Amelia Yes, what you described is ME. I can quite easily go without a drink mostly, but when I feel the urge, I over drink, and something inside me gives up control without me even knowing it. I really think I've just got to give it up if I'm honest with myself.

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well. I am still at work but I have a couple of minutes to write in and say "Greetings Everyone"

LilyRose - How are you feeling? I just read your post and sounds like one those nights I can so totally relate too. From reading your post, it sounds as though you drank last night, right? Well, I understand you feeling and can only suggest that for me instead of just saying the old "never ever again" only for it to happen again and then I feel even worse. Just try to focus on getting it through each day and ALWAYS keep in touch with us. I am sorry you are feeling bad, maybe try and treat yourself to a good meal. I will check on you before I leave for work. Hang in there and don't beat yourself up, you can do this.....

Amelia - Sounds good for not wanting to "minus" and congrats on AF Day 1 or is it 2, I live in Los Angeles, so I am not quite sure when your day count begins.

Will post later tonight and look forward to hearing how everyone is doing.

Big hugs,
Janet

Hey Janet,
Are you still on Day 13????? If so a big congratulations!!!
I travelled through Los Angeles about 12 years ago in a Combi Van. We parked up most nights and slept on the side of the road. Everyone was so FRIENDLY!! We even got a guy who let us use his bathroom and kitchen for a week (he was away), total trust, it was awesome.

Hi Amelia & Everyone,

Someone let you use their ktichen and bathroom while they were away, that's very rare for LA. Do you remember the city you stayed in? Sounds like it was a fun road trip. I live in a really nice residential area near the beach, the name is Playa del Rey and I love it. Thank you for the congrats, actually my AF Day new count starts at 11:30pm, so Day 13 will start then, make sense? Hope you are doing well

LilyRose - are you feeling better?

How is everyone else????

Janet

Howdy gorgeous creatures!

I am very over the proverbial beating up that I have to myself and back on track!! Thank you for the words of support & encouragement! Just taking each day as it comes, and loving the clear head when I awake in the morning!

Life is hectic (in a good way) so do not even have time to think about that dreadful stuff called wine!! LOL, Don't have the cravings, so that is good! Received my parcel from MWO today, minus the GABA... bummer, will have to wait another couple of weeks I guess, as I cannot buy that anywhere in Australia anyway!!

Hope you are all well, take care & keep on keeping on!

Love Tah xxx

Back to Day 3Af :-)

Hi everyone from Napa, CA --- aka Wine Country!!!

Well, we arrived this afternoon from the East Coast to the West Coast. It has been a long day. I got up at 5:30AM in NJ, and now it would be 11:30PM for me, but it is only 8:35PM here. I think I got a second wind!

I am here to share with you all that I made it through Day 9!!! I was asked whether I wanted white or red wine with dinner, and out of somewhere, I heard myself say "Actually, I don't think I'll have any tonight." And, that was it! Day 10, here we come!!!

Thanks to all of you, this journey has been successful so far. You guys are great! Have a good night!
:thanks:

Hi All

Well, this is day 2 for me. Thanks for all your words of support. Yes, on Monday night I drank a lot, and felt awful yesterday. It doesn't help that I have a bad cold now too. Hubby let me sleep a bit this morning, and he knows how I am feeling. I feel a lot better today and ready to get everything organised. It's nice to know I don't have to worry about work for 2 weeks. I got my report finished and I'm FREE! Janet, thanks for checking up on me. Felt lonely and unsure last night. Went to bed and couldn't stop thinking, and the thought I was thinking was that i need to analyse my behaviour and thoughts when I drink. I need to understand how my mind works so I can retrain it. Guys, it's been great having you all around, and the others in some other threads. Its a powerful feeling to reach out to you all so far away and share something so deep. I will check in again tonight before I go, then it'll be a while so don't worry about me, I'll be relaxing (if possible) with a book in the sun.

Luv ya all.............and well done you all. Pink I'm amazed - maybe you've lost 'the taste'? Wouldn't that be great!

Hey Lily Rose, I am so happy to see that you are on your day 2!! I agree, it is nice to have this place, to come to and just 'voice' whatever may be going on for us. It is nice also to be slowly building up a kind of relationship (be it a virtual one) with others on this site.
How long are you away for?? When shall we expect to see you back?

I am not doing so well. Give me an inch with booze and I will turn it into a mile in no time at all......its 10 to 11 in the morning and I am on my first glass of wine. I just want to get trashed at the moment. I think it is my relationship situation that is at the heart of it.
God, I re-read what I wrote in 'Venting' yesterday, I am one angry bunny!!!!!.
Gonna have to make some changes..........Gotta get back on the wagon, it really is the only safe place for me. When 'just one' isn't an option.

Lily Rose, I hope you have an awesome holiday, like I said, let us know when you are back and we will watch out for you.

Hi Amelia, yes, I feel a little amazed that I wrote all my personal stuff on venting but its issues that have been around for a long time. To a certain extent I've let go of the past but it comes back to haunt you now and again.
God Ameila, be careful about today. I understand why you must be feeling the way you are, you put up with a lot it seems. It sounds like he's draining you dry. Think about your options girl - and 'bitch-slap' him into shape (hee hee :H )
Back on 23rd, but will check in from time to time. I can't believe I've nearly packed!
