Hello All,
Great, looking forward to stringing another 30 days straight.
I do find having the AF days a LOT harder if I have had anything at all to drink the day before.
Wakeupmom, 8 days is fab, I am really really pleased for you, keep it up!! Sounds like you are doing amazingly if you can send away (or back) bottles of wine, even though they have crossed your threshold!!! I agree, exercise, exercise, exercise is the way to go for Stress management.
I think I may like to meet in Covent Garden.....I think. I was a bit dubious about it, but hell I work in and around that area so it would be very easy. Would you keep me posted?

Prose, I am really looking forward to stringing consecutive AF days together.
Yesterday was AF, but I don't think today will be....Very stressed and tired (with huge cold).

Cuckoosnest, How are you getting along?? Haven't seen you post for a while. Let us know how you are.

Cindi, Those stars of yours are really adding up. Awesome. Good on you. I reckon my knuckles are going to go white too....lets hope so.

Less desperate, how's everything going for you. Did you manage that second day???
Hope you are well.

xx

Deilight, hello to you too. I shall pop over to Alcohol free Octoberfest and see how you are doing.

Hi guys,
am hanging in there, trying to do some af some mod, then feel guilty because I should probably be doing all af, anyway have a weekend alone just like you wakeupmom, most people would look forward to it but I am kind of dreading it, but after I read your post I got inspired, have been thinking of joining a gym that is close by, maybe I will go have a look.... hello to everyone else, cindi, your stars are beautiful!
I am so glad to have this thread, hope everyone has a great day, P

Hey Prose, how are you feeling about trying for straight AF days from Monday??
I think joining a gym is a fantastic idea. I am only newly joined (end of August) but I do find it helps so much with relaxation and helping me have AF days.
Really does work.
Hello to everyone else

Hello everyone,
hope you are all well, I am slowly (duh!) coming to the conclusion that I cannot moderate, it's like the field of dreams, if I have it I will drink it, can't stop after one or 2, anyway going to try to start af today, can't wait for you to join me amelia, will need your help! P

Really looking forward to Monday Prose.
I am not feeling too hot today either (wine last night - hmmmmm)
As I read somewhere today in a paper.........
That with any kind of addiction, one day you just wake up and think,....'I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired'
Yep. Bring on Monday!!


Hello to everyone else. Hope you are all doing well.

Hi!
It only seems like the 3 of us on this thread now.At least i know where to find you both.
Prose, i hope your weekend is going ok.i know you said you were on your own and i understand too well that all those long hours ahead can be difficult to fill.
Amelia,How was your sleepover?Hope you are ok too.
You are both starting A/F tomorrow GREAT!! I am with you also.
I have kept myself so busy this weekend.No way did i want a repeat performance of the last weekend i had to myself when i wallowed in self pity and drank almost the whole time.Such a waste,but maybe for me that was it.I was totally fed up with myself.Like you said Amelia,Sick and Tired!!
So this weekend my second A/F has been soo different,even had a girls nite out on Frid with no wine and last nite i went to the pub to watch the Rugby had a coke and a coffee,
So its day 13 for me. 15 days in Oct A/F.
I am looking forward to seeing you both tomorrow.XX

Amelia, Prose, Wakeupmom,

I am still here.

As you can see, I too had a slip. (signature) But OMG my slips are starting to be farther and farther apart.

The thing is, I am starting to FEEL so much better, and my slips have hurt me soo badly physically. Hmm. I think I am going to beat this thing, guys!!

I'm in. I am staying AF this weekend, but will "join" you on Monday, too.

I love the support of this site, you guys are all so awesome and it really helps to have friends battling through this, too.

Love,
Cindi

hi everyone,
had a crappy weekend, am so disgusted with myself, am wanting so badly to be af and not sure why I don't just make that happen....
anyway will try again tonight, i guess that is all i can do,
took a HUGE step (for me, anyway) and told a friend what is going on, and guess what, she didn't turn and run the other way yelling "Freak",
i have never told anyone(except of course you guys) because I don't want to appear anything but totally together, she has been through this and will help me I know,
love p

Hi Wakeupmom, Prose and Cindi!!!
Had a pretty 'full on' weekend I must admit. Too much drinking and not enough sleep on the 'sleep over' so I am really really looking forward to tomorrow and starting my AF days (and making sure they are consecutive).
Cindi, I am so pleased for you and you number of days AF in Oct!! Plus you are sounding very confident that this is getting easier for you to deal with. One slip, yet back to Af straight away,....that is fantastic progress.

Wakeupmom, glad to read that you are going to join Prose and I to go AF again.
Mind you, you already have some good AF days behind you too....13 days out of 15 in October is great.

Prose, sorry you had a crappy weekend. Im glad you had a positive reaction from your friend about your drinking. She sounds like a good friend to have and if she has been through the same thing as us and has beaten it, she is definately a great source of support.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Hey Prose, yeah I agree with what you are saying about this thread. It's nice to know where to come to post to people that you feel familiar with.
Congrats on your AF day yesterday!! I am at the end of an AF day today. Feel tired, very tired.
Been sleeping like a log lately.
Hello to everyone else. Hope you are all doing well.
Wakeupmom and Cindi - special hellos to you. Keep us posted.
