I recently posted that I cannot seem to get past day 3 AF. I guess its around day 3 that my denial kicks in, and I forget I have a drinking problem (LOL). Anyways, someone had asked me how bad I really want to be AF. Well that has made me really think about it, and I know I need to make some changes in my life instead of keeping on repeating the same shit over and over. I heard this somewhere: "Insanity is repeating the same things and expecting a different outcome". Well I need to start somewhere. So I am going to try to start small, and try to make it Monday-Friday AF this week. I figure if I can get past that hurdle, then maybe I can continue on. If anyone wants to start small like this with me, you are more than welcome! Hugs to you all.

Anyone wanna join me for 5 days AF???
I'll join you, first time I've posted and just came across this site this morning (while hungover and usual feelings of 'this has got to stop'. I too seem to reach day 3 and reward myself with a bottle of wine (usually a wednesday and that's me everynight until I stop again on a Monday night)
I've tried hypno in the past and it's very effective for me, I think I'll order one from this site and download the book, once my printer has ink!
My drinking shows in my skin and I always wear make-up in an attempt to cover up the blotchyness. Went to the health shop and got some 'kudzu and sleepytea for the inevitable insomnia that I know I'll get. Just wish someone would lock me up for 3 months and I would have no choice but to stop.Honour Thyself -

Hey Emily, welcome. I wish you both the best of luck, and Emily, that sleepy tea is wonderful stuff!!It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

Hi all, count me in too! I like to know I am not struggling alone. I am desperate and determined to be AF! Am on disk # 2 of the abstinence CD set. I feel calm, no urges but it isn't 6pm yet either. Started supplements yesterday, mabye they are helping too. All I know is that I feel more self control then I did 2 days ago and it feels great! Liquor stores are also closed for 2 days and that helps alot. Good luck to us all!Comment

I'll join in. Fed up with these see-saw emotions. One minute i tell myself I'm an alcoholic and after a few AF days, it's simply 'I overdo it sometimes' 'it'll be ok to have some wine tonight - I deserve it'. So let's get to Friday (tomorrow is Day 3 for me) and see how it goes. PS What's sleepytea?Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.Comment
