Hey! I've been away from my bed since 5.30am! But I'm trying to wean myself off the ODAT thread and stick to the March Madness and Long Term Abstainers (as if!!? but I can only hope some of that rubs off on me) forum instead.

I'll pop in on this one but won't be so manic about starting it.!

Well done you on the hot choccy and movie. I could really do with a night like that. Last night was working on getting the holiday let ready until about 9, takeaway pizza and bed ... but no Al. And that is the important bit. And there won't be any tonight either. There will, unfortunately, be lots more work instead.......

Okay, i've been AF for about 1 hr and 2 mins now. Reached that point where you feel nothing, if you know what i mean. Have a headache etc... blah blah blah.

Know i have to get out of this. Have a glass of wine next to me, am going to flush it. Am going to freeze the rest of my $21.00 bottle of wine (too expensive to throw out). OKay, here goes.

I hope everyone has had a better day than i have had. I just don't feel motivated to give up. Alcohol is my only reliable friend right now (or so it feels). Have already cried for about 2 hrs :upset:. It's pathetic.

ODAT Sunday

Good morning ODAT-ers! Hope you don't mind me popping in. I'm still one day at a time - for sure! And I do read the thread every day.. it helps me a lot. So thanks.

Green~ Congrats on the hot chocolate.. you sound great. Funny thing about bills, they actually do wait - sigh...

Bessie~ Good on you for taking the plunge and jumping into the March Madness. it is a bigger step, but you can do it!

Change~ I am sorry you feel bad this morning, but it really is one day at a time and tomorrow is another day. So concentrate on today. What can you do today? Maybe go ahead and pour out that $21 bottle of wine. Frozen wine tastes like shit, even the good stuff. If you have it you will eventually drink it, otherwise you wouldn't keep it. So, be strong and let it go. It is all about you being in charge here. So, take charge with this one thing - that is what you can do today, this day.

Thanks again for letting me pop in and say hello... have a good Sunday and do something fantastic for yourselves today.

Namaste, my friends...

Hello everyone,
Back from my cruise - I hope everyone is well and I didn't miss too much, I will try and catch up on my reading today. Good job last night greeneyes!

I have upped my dosage of Topa about 3 days ago and am really encouraged by the results. Friday night I actually poured my glass of wine BACK INTO the bottle. What's up with that? Last night I had 2 glasses and watched a movie. Tonight I plan to be AF and see how the week goes. I hate this dopey feeling though. I can deal with the tingly hands and feet but the word retrieval issues and the cognitive malfunction may cause problems at work...I'm going to stick with it for now, I understand the side effects go away...I shall post in the other thread on that.

Hang in there change, I find setting a daily goal helps instead of looking at the big picture. I'm not there yet. I get too frustrated and scared and then I "give up". I set daily attainable goals and when I meet them I feel more confident. We each have to find our own way here. Hang in there, you can do this.

hi everyone! Day 5 for me and feeling good....had a lovely Mother's Day with my husband, daughter and mum-in-law. Had a lovely walk and just going to tuck into roast pork with all the trimmings!! Hubby is in the middle of his 2nd or 3rd glass of wine, not sure, haven't been really bothered, been out in the garden, just come in and opened my can of diet coke!!

love to all,

Hi Friends. Well, I wish I could be posting today and say I had a sober Saturday night, but nope! I was shopping during the day, and just casually put a bottle of wine in my cart. Even ended up drinking more than a bottle of wine when a co worker stopped over. So of course I have a headache today. Im going to get back on the wagon tommorrow, and try to string longer time than I have.

Thanks Deena,

I did set a goal today because i am semi-unemployed and need to find a job. I decided, in all my tragedy last night, that i needed a clear head today in order to deal with my decisions and write my resume.

Well, it worked. Found a great job on Seek and will be applying tomorrow. The goal for tonight? To stay sober in order to apply for the job tomorrow. Don't have a goal for tomorrow, but it will be work, if i am called in. If not, i think it will be a walk, or the gym and a phone call to a friend. If all else fails, i will go to AA (yes, i am that desperate), or set some business goals for the evening (i am currently researching some business ideas).

*Sigh*. So, it was really hard tonight. 6:30pm is my drinking time. Really had to fight the urge to go to the bottle shop. There is one on every corner here. Umph...

So, yeah, thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. I just need to get through tomorrow night and the one after. Once i've done it for a few days, it will become slightly easier. I will have to set strict goals for tomorrow evening (that will be hard).

And, greeneyes, i'm glad you'll be my friend! I have green eyes too.

See everyone tomorrow

Don't give up, just try again today.
