I am truly thinking you need to get to a doctor asap.

Please consider it.

Take care and get well,

Hi you all

Teardrop,
Good for you for bringing your af forward. Just make sure you look out for any symptoms.. extreme sweating or feeling disorientated.. that might be a sign of a medical problem. I think it would be a good idea to get the supplements in and give your body a bit of a boost whilst going through this.

I am on day 3 af now, feeling pretty good at the moment. I knew these first days wouldn't be a big problem as i've been working nights and would only have had max half a bottle of wine in the morning after work. Sure it's crossed my mind a lot when coming to the end of the shift, but kept my head focused and went straight to bed to read a book for half an hour instead.
Sleeps been broken and had some really weird dreams but i'm sure my brains just getting adjusted to the idea of going without alcohol.
I'm taking the supplements and somehow i do think they help.
However tomorrow night is the first big one.. I'm off but i made sure i promised to do a shif with my voluntary work, which means i won't be back home til after 10 pm and that means the shops are closed and have no way of buying alcohol!! I'm going to get a dvd and popcorn in instead.. Should be nice feeling to go to bed sober at night and wake up without the stuffy feeling after a night off.

Well done to those of you who already started with me. Just keep posting and tell us how you're feeling and getting on.

I will be here tomorrow night, hopefully there will be someone around to talk to.

Keep yourselves focused. We all can do this!!!

Finski :goodjob: :l

I am going to try the 30 days I am new to this and Mondays are always a good day to start. I have never went longer that 14 days. but this time I am really going to try. especially if I check in every day.

I did post a reply but not sure where it went to?

I am going to give the 30 days a try. I have never done more that 14 days, and Mondays are always a good day to start. Night time is bad for me so I will check in each evening.

2 days done!

:yay: It is Friday night and 2 days are done. Welcome Veronice and Cheebs and I wish success to everyone.

Teardrop, please take care of yourself.

I also began a 7 day detoxification today which includes a 2 day liquid fast and then 5 days of organic fruits, vegetables and brown rice, so I am doubly committed for atleast a week. I thought it would help me kickstart 30 days AF and cleanse my system.

I seem to do better with a plan.. stay focused everyone.. and remember.. we can do this. Every moment is a choice.. we can choose to drink.. or not!! It may not be easy, but it is our choice.

Hi everyone,
Af day one.
Felt really rough last night my brain would not let me go to sleep to scared, where my heart was beating fast. i thought if i go to sleep my heart beat would stop and would not wake up. It was so good just to see the day light come through. I hope i will not feel like this again tonight. just feeling edgy at the moment and all the other things (that side effects does to you.)Thanks leebo, my counsellor did say about a detox for ten day, But i need to stop drinking now.
wishing you all good luck.x

Sweat Pea,
Tonight is my last night for drinking - I'm scared. I've been drinking for most of my life and fear that it won't work (1-2 bottles of wine). Your thread has really helped me put my mind in order. I'm not taking Topa but i am taking the sups. On Sunday I am going to make sure that there is not one drop of wine in the house. I'm also recycling all of those empty wine bottles today because I don't want to be reminded. I wrote down the names of the members who are going AF from this thread. I will be looking for your names and wish all of you good luck. Take Care

Roz,

You can do it. You really can.

Yes, it is difficult but doable. Do whatever you need to get through it.

Expect to feel kind of crappy at first, and if you don't then great!! I did find sleep elusive the first few days and got the night sweats, etc, however lots of people here didn't suffer those withdrawals at all!! (I must depend on everyone's body and how dependent our bodies are.)

We will be here for you.

Don gave me some great advice, "Look at it like it's a flu" and it too, shall pass.

Best of luck and take good care,
Love,
Cindi

db2,

Thanks for the encouragment. I'm really psyched about going AF (easy to say now knowing that I will have my farewell to wine tonight)! I'm looking forward to thinking more clearly and feeling physically better. As far as the night sweats are concerned - I'm use to that because I went through menapause last year. A ceiling fan should be over every woman's bed who is over 40!!

Veronica,

:welcome:

If you can go 14 days, you can easily do 30. Trust me on that. 14 days is waay past physical.

The mental cravings start diminishing over time.

You do have to be committed to doing it, though.

Whatever you decide, I hope you achieve it and feel good about it.
