    Struggling big time.

    I've got no excuses, none at all. Apart from the fact theres been too many changes in my life in too short a time but even then I look around me and there's people a lot worse off.
    Tomorrow is going to be day 1 for me. No longterm plans, just to the weekend and lets take it from there, anyone else up for thise 4+ day AF goal???

      Janice,

      Even though I am on a 30 day AF thread with Amelia and company, I will join with you because this week will be my first week in a hotel since going AF.

      I am scared, nervous, and anxious about it.

      So, if you will hang with me, I will hang with you. I will need all the help I can get, too!!

      (I have a really hard time passing up the hotel bar....)

          Hi Janice

          Have missed you on the newbie thread. I'm on the 30 day mission but am struggling these days as the memory of hangovers receed so I'll join you on getting through a day at a time.

          Best wishes

                  I think I can manage to join this one since I am on the master cleanse and not touching wine or food other than lemonade with maple syrup.

                        Hi Janice

                        I am just wondering... after this stint...

                        Have you ever tried abstaining on weekdays? It isn't a perfect solution but it does make for a big improvement. And you don't have the never again frustration. You do have the hangovers but much fewer of them.

                            Hi Mokigirl

                            Forget about last night [it's 6.41am here ;-) ]

                            It's ok to start again

                            Not easy this lark! We're all in the same boat different hours on different days.

                            Some of the people here are a great inspiration with tens of days AF and hundreds of days AF, others are just as much inspiration cos they are never afraid to come here on a Day One and say 'I'm on Day One again who's with me?'

                            Hugs

                            B

                              Thanks Phoenix! I just keep wondering when this happened to me. When did I change from being a normal person who drank sometimes (sometimes too much) on the weekends to someone who thinks about drinking all day long? Anyway, I know I can do this. I've recently gone 3 days AF and I found the first day was the hardest. Now I know I can go longer... I just need to get rid of the triggers. Talking to my mom, walking through the door after a long day, watching my husband pour a drink... those are all really hard to get through. Any tips? I wish there were some magic tablet that would make me disconnect myself from the way all of those things make me feel, especially my husband pouring himself a drink in front of me.

                              :thanks: Moki
