AF Anyone??

Good morning, all. Completed day 4 of AF and feeling quite good. I haven't been sleeping well but we all know that is part of early AF. Last night slept the best since starting. I'm headed to the gym but just wanted to wish everyone a good day.

Amelia, here's hoping that things go smoothly when you and your sister talk today. With the kind thoughts as you go through this difficult period.

good morning all,
still having the computer problems, so will have to be short again, plus have alot to do today as I have been gone for 4 days,
am trying to get up the courage to crawl back up on the old wagon, so to speak, am not very happy with myself and am wondering how badly i want this, really feel like just giving in but don't want that either,
this sucks, P
that being said, I want to say good job to all of you who are doing so well, and best of luck to you Amelia, please let us know how you are doing

Prose, when I read your post of 10/22/07 wondering how I was doing, I wasn't happy with myself but reading your post made me realize that the people on this thread are a great support group. So hang in there!!! We all have our days.

A big hello to everyone else too xx

Wakeupmom, thanks for the update and the encouragement. Those supps do help. Seventeen days AF in October is a greater that 50% success rate so I say "you go girl".

Amelia, I too was wondering how the talk with the sister went. When you get a chance please let us know.

Hello everyone,
good to see you wakeupmom! I have to agree with cuckoo, 17 days is great!
do you guys take topamax as well as the other things? I only have the l-glute and kudzu, and have lost my book, how much of those things do you take and when? I should probably go to the part of the site that explains all that.....
have no wireless, have to be "plugged in" to the router, and it is in the basement where I am usually not, tried to call for help but got an electronic voice that said my wait would be 68 minutes, didn't feel like waiting 68 minutes so will have to live with things the way they are for now!
take care everyone, P

Prose, I just started taking the topamax and find it to be very helpful. I don't know if I will dose myself up the way the book recommends if I can get by on the lower dosage.

Hi Veronica, many of us are starting to go 30 days AF in November and we would be happy to have you join us. There are a number of threads you can post on too. Most are in the Just Starting Out Forum. There is this one, my personal favorite, there is Fireworks -Anyone Want to Join Me for 30 days AF, and November AF. So welcome and please feel free to post on any and all threads.

AF Anyone??

Hey Veronica and welcome!! If you have managed 14 days AF already, then you are doing well and have got the benefit of past experience to spur you on. You already know how to get through those first 4 or 5 days and you have also felt how wonderful it is to wake up hangover free.
Remember how you good felt and start once more.

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I pulled another "I'm losing it I am so drunk, please rescue me" act. This usually involves me calling my parents and crying all night long about how bad my drinking is and why do I keep coming to this point. I have quit drinking so many times. I don't know what it will take to make it stick. But I found this website tonight and I like what you all have to say. I would like to join in on this AF for 30 days. Today is day 2. I'm in. Thanks for listening.:new:

Hi Jewels, :welcome: I am on day 6 AF. We started this thread in October and I only achieved 4 days AF in October but so far this month I am 6 for 6. There are a lot of good people on this thread so stay posted. Just so you know, I read the book, I am doing the supplements, I bought the cds although I'm having a hard time listening to them, and I am doing the topamax. So I am pretty much doing the whole program and seem to be having some success. Success varies with each person. Read the posts. Post questions, visit other threads, and find out what works for you. Any help or questions I'll be happy to try and answer. Good luck, dear.

Jewels,

We have "all been there done that."

The IMPORTANT piece of the equation is, CAN YOU REALLY DEDICATE YOURSELF TO BEING AF?or MODS??

It is not an easy "row to hoe" or an easy path to follow, BUT, if you wan to be a "NOt DRUNK," there are lots of us here to help you. Mods or AF, it does not matter.

Love,
Cindi

Hi Cindi, I tried to join you in chat tonight but I have to install Java on my computer. I will do that tomorrow. I like seeing your stars. I started listing my drinks in drink tracker. Well I'm headed up to bed. I'm exhausted. Have a good night.
