Everyone Especially the Newbies: Please come here often. The ODAT (one day at a time) is especially good for beginners. Good Luck, Mary

Charlee glad to hear you're feeling better and you're on day 3. I'm on day 2 and can feel some difference, although I didn't get a full night sleep I felt good when I woke up. In the past Calms forte has helped and also sleepytime tea. We can do this, I'm looking forward to day 3 tomorrow.

NOT TO BE A DOWNER

Doesn't anybody feel cheated that everyone "else" gets to be a social drinker and I have to a tee totaler! This sucks! I know that this site is a support site but, I also view it as an outlet to vent and I get pissed off that I have to go through this and yet my brothers and sisters, as well as my husband, can go to any function and sip their little drinks and go home and tuck themselves in! Again, THIS SUCKS!!!
Sorry, I need to vent and I do not like where I am at right now.

Cheebs,

Search on THIQ and alcholism.

That will make things easier to understand.

Us alkies are a "little bit" different than the non-alkies.

It sucks. It is a part of life. It is a reality.

Cr@p. I hate it, too.

Love,
Cindi

It does look like others are able to drink "normal" but who knows what goes on in other people's houses? We can only really deal with our own drinking problem, and there are millions like us. Anyway, the only way to go from here is UP! :l Suz on day 3!

Darn right I feel the resentment......watching all these social drinkers, sipping their choice of beverage. However, I have had to many ups and downs and at my age have finally realized that although it does suck, I was getting exhausted playing the games I played with myself. I wish I could remember who started the thread "What I like about not drinking"...It did help me realize that everyone who responded to that post had to go through day one, and they survived, and there lives were better for it. I wanted to be one of those people.....
