    the slippery slope

    Full of good intentions this morning, still intoxicated from last nights session, I promised myself and my husband that I would'nt drink anymore. Its now late afternoon and in half an hour I will have finished work. while I look forward to seeing the family, Idread going home,pacing around the house all evening with only one thought in mind!

    anyone else feeling like that right now?

    the slippery slope

    Elsie,

    Hang in there. The first night is hard but you can do it.

    Yes, pace, drink decaf hot tea, whatever, but don't drink. You will be so much happier about yourself in the morning if you do this.

    Hang in there!!!

        yep

        Stay busy, drink plenty of water and have something healthy to eat on hand, like veggies, will keep the mouth busy w/o putting in all the calories of al (hard candy does help the cravings too)!!! The first day IS tough, but also stay close to the boards and maybe even Chat!!?? I have heard it is very helpful, frankly I am going to an AA meeting tonight and out to eat w/ all the guys afterwards, so I know I will be occupied, only day 12 for me, so I was where you are not too long ago...........

        Remember, if you want to you CAN stay AF!!!

        Love,:h

          Elsie, I'm there too, I had three AF nights this week, thought I'd have one glass of wine last night (I don't usually even drink wine.....beer for me) and the glass turned into a bottle. Husband tried to tell me you'll hate yourself for this tomorrow and sure enough here I am today, hungover, ashamed and hating myself, so back to AF for me. Hang in there you can do it!!!

            I am feeling that way too and I also drank last night and feel like shit today - it's the withdrawal symptoms saying "have a drink...."

            You can do it - I'm with you.
            Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

              Elsie, agree with everything said above - also come on this site and post, read old posts, go to the chat room and talk to others. This really helped me through the first couple weeks, especially on the weekend nights when I was really craving the AL. You can do it and if you make it through, you will feel so much better on the other side....promise.

                the slippery slope

                Yep hon. Feel that way!!! Not even hearing birds sing or having lots of things to do seem to help. Trying to figure out when real life begins again actually. It's simply a choice. Not sure why that choice is so hard.
                This is no longer a drinking problem...it's a matter of Life or Death!!!
