girl done a good first week ;)

[shellbee]

it's been a week since i first logged on and i'm very happy to say that my first week has been fantastic. i have had a few drinks but managed to stay in control and not drink myself into a stuporand can rember the whole weekend (something which has not happened in years)staying Af during the week . i have realised that so called 'friends' will laugh at you and encourage you to 'get pissed you're soooo funny when your pissed' - no thanks find someone else to laugh at. and ive not argued with my other half which is also a first for many weekends.

i know its only been a week and there are more hurdles to jump but im slogging it out. i found that it helps just to stop and imagine the sort of person i turn into when i'm drunk - violent, aggressive and a total embarrasment to myself and my boyfriend and then i'm sot so sure i want that 'extra top up' in my glass.

much love to everyone here and good luck i hope you all get everything you wish for:h

Congrats Shellbee. Well done on your first, and extremely important step in this journey. It is so much easier having friends that understand the highs and lows of this struggle. WE CAN WIN.

Yay Shellbee!

Gosh can I relate to your post. It's been about 2 weeks for me, and I have had probably 2 drinks (beer) total in those 2 weeks. I feel so in control and it feels so good. Like you, I am AF during the week, outside of the random beer with my hub (restricted to one week night). I am purposely choosing beer, as I NEVER desire more than 2 in one sitting. (My drink of choice was wine or whiskey).

:goodjob: Also- I can soooo relate to remembering the whole weekend, or night before, or whatever it was.
