day 2

[cowgal]

I have made it through day one AF, was not tooooooo difficult, worked all day, went to psychiatrist, then gym..............then, being a mother of 2 kids, had to pick up one from swim practice at 7:40PM, didn't get home and into bed until well after 10PM..................

BUT I did sleep ok, wierd dreams and all.........I am taking off from work today (planned a month ago) Just hope I don't get bored or frustrated and go out for a beer (??!!) I have NO intentions of doing so, so hope everyone is good, thanks for all the positive thoughts and all............

Amashed, hope you are ok, and anyone else new, we are all here in the same boat!:thanks:

Now off to run errands, will check in later!!:h :l

day 2

Hey,

Great to hear from you, was thinking of you last night. I'm feeling better by the day and am trying to now plan weekends that are swimming or visits or anything but bars or pubs. I really pleased that things are going good!

Its going to mean a change in life for all of us but if we can do, then how much better will it be???!!! You keep us informed. And carry on reading the posts on here, I think they give a lot of strength, you're not alone, we're all in the same boat.

And just a comment - I like the way even the tone that you wrote in today has changed! It makes a difference doesn't it? PM me if you ever want a chat and I'll get back as soon as I can.

Hang in there Cowgirl!! The first few days are the hardest. Keep very busy so your mind doesn't obsess over having the beer to kill any boredom you may experience today. Keep posting. We are rooting for you!

Day 2 for BabyGirl too!

Hi All -- yay for us CowGal! I posted my update on BoozeBusters just a minute ago...
I had 52 days under my belt in the winter and I slipped when my sister left her husband and emotionally dumped on me... I spiraled out of control but it was amzing how it crept in... now MONTHS later and too many failed attempts... I am back. I had to limit contact with my sister because she does not have a good sense of boundaries and expects me to be there all of the time -- it is one sided andnot healthy -- so I eliminated her (at least for the moment) as the contact was really hurting me.

Need to get ready for work -- more later... BabyGirl

[BabyGirl]

day 2

CowGal thanks for the support. I am just disgusted that the people on AA would treat you like that ... my ex-husband (we divorced 7 years ago) was an AAer but I did not attend the meetings because the cigarette smoke was so bad... they transfer addictions! Funny, it was when I divorced him (no kids involved) is when I really started to drink!!!
I am starting Day 3!!! Will check in later Baby
