Hello Everyone, just a quick check in before I start my day. I think it is Day 10 for me today.

Wishing you all an easy, stress free day today.

If you are in the states, I hope those ice storms aren't creating you too much havoc.

Take care all.

Cuckoo, just wanted to let you know that I did go to the supermarket last night and get some of the herbal teas that you mentioned. Lemon and Ginger plus Camomile, Vanilla and Honey. Much better before bed than my usual 4 or 5 cups of normal tea (I was out like a light)!! So thank you for the reminder.

Hey everyone. Did not make the couples counselling.
Hmmmmm.
It is partly my fault - I knew it was today, although I wasn't sure what time it was, so I rang the centre at 9am (when they open) to confirm.
I reminded my boyfriend last night and this morning that we had appointments (both times he hardly acknowledged me - was being resistant).
Anyhow, I didn't hear back by 10am so rang again. Again, they couldn't find my file and said the case worker was with another client. I got a call at 11am from the counsellor to say that my appt. was for 11am!!
I knew that they had booked an hour and a half for us, so I put her on hold and asked my partner if we could shoot over there straight away (20 mins easy commute at most).
He just didn't want to go. So we have rebooked for January now. Bit of an anticlimax.

Good morning we had a snow storm yesterday and i finished shoveling snow.we have a nor'easter coming at us Sunday,The say we could get 18inches in maine.high fives on the 10 days of heaven.you also put 15 days together before.you have been a strong supporter of everyone else and it makes me feel good.you are going in the right direction.I was a closet drinker to.I blocked the right windshield wiperon my car and filled the window washer with booze.Every day you are sober it gets easier and the mind get clearer and the pain is less and you start to feel good about your self, and all the pieces fall into place,because now you can handle your problems without the alcohol.It is now your piece of heaven,and you will be able to say i am a (recovering) Alcoholic the most beautifull (word) in the world.You have our love and support.you will never be alone.(me).Have a peaceful day.

Hi all, thank you for your posts and you all sound upbeat which is great. The ice storms are something else - and we think it is cold in the UK.

End of day 3 in five hours and so far okay. Get through from 5pm until 10pm and I am into Day 4.

I am going to do some internetting and a bit of domestic stuff - not my strongest point and get some sleep - I am still feeling very depressed and yesterday cried a lot.

I am lucky that once back at Day 3 I can sleep like a log.

Be in touch tomorrow - hopefully at Day 4.

Good morning, Zige. No we didn't get any snow in the garden state just rain and more rain. I'm beginning to feel like I live in London. I hear living in Maine you have 2 seasons, winter, and getting ready for winter. Will you be shoveling snow over the weekend or will this just snow you in? I have friends who have a cabin in the mountains and they get snowed in for days at a time. Although I'm not sure what urge you are referring to in your post, zige, I certainly appreciate your lovely sentiments. It is nice to know one isn't alone.

Hi Zige, goodness me, I have never heard of filling the window washing bottle before, but mind you I have come up with far too many ingenious (or so I thought) places to hide booze!! Yes I have had 15 days before and 30 and 18 and well lots of different numbers. I hope this time I will keep on going and grow stronger and stronger.
Sure does sound cold over there!!!

Fjones, you sound like you are getting there!! Nearly the end of day 3 and you sound like you are approaching it quite realistically - keep yourself busy!! I think crying a lot at this stage is a good thing. It has happened to me nearly every time I have gone AF and I think it is your inner self just releasing stuff (and letting go of alcohol). I bet you felt better after the crying??

Hello Cuckoo, well it sounds dare I say it, just wet, wet, wet where you are at the moment.
Hope you have that fire of yours all stoked up and roaring - how nice being snuggled in front of the fire with rain and wind outside!!

Wakeupmom, Prose, Cindi, Maggiemoo, Keeper and everyone else, looking forward to hearing your news.
