Yay For Day 3

[mello]

Hi Guys

I am happy to report that I am on Day 3 and surviving. I must say though it's real hard to control the physical withdrawals and the mental craving at the same time. Really wanted to buy a drink on the way home from work but managed to get by. I am finding that if I come straight home and eat a meal it really helps.

To everyone else here who is new I am finding this a great support, and I can't wait to put a third 0 in a row on my drink traker.

We can all do this.

Best wishes

Mel xx

Great going, Melaine! Are you taking the supplements? I find they really help with cravings. Here's wishing you continued success. You're right -- we CAN all do this. :h

Hi Melanie / Amelia / all others
Fellow Kiwi here. Well done Melanie, have yet to have an AF free day, but hoping tomorrow will be day one. Think I need the supps. Have either of you managed to track down Kudzu in this neck of the woods?

Melaine,

Great on you for the day 3.

Day 4 and 5 can be the worst craving and withdrawal-wise. Not to discourage you but to give you a head's up. Bull through them, whatever it takes, and once past those days, you are on a downhill slide.

By day 10, your body has completely withdrawn from alcohol and you are then dealing with cravings alone.

Best of luck to you!! Keep strong.

Love,
Cindi

Hey Aysha! Hello to another fello Kiwi.
I am not sure where you are...NZ or elsewhere....
If you are in NZ I would do a google.nz search for Kudzu and see what you get...
I have found Kudzu easily here in the UK and have also received some from MWO when I subscribed.
Good luck honey.

Hi Amelia

Have ordered some from MWO, but because of distance probably have to wait 3-4 weeks. Google searched already, you know what NZ is like - years behind the time. Customs probably still think it is an illegal drug. Did it help you?

[AMELIA]

Yay For Day 3

Absolutely.
Glad you managed to order it form MWO. It's good stuff.

Where do you find the 'alcohol tracker' that some people have talked about?

[AMELIA]

Hey Aysha,
Just scroll down to the bottom of your page to 'Forum Jump' and it is listed as 'Drink Tracker'....
Let me know if you can't find it.

Well done to you on day 3, really an achievement. The first wee whiley is really difficult eh, but yes keeping busy and doing things you have been putting off such as clearing out cupboards, sorting out drawers etc passes some of the hours away. Coming on here is really the best to keep you motivated. Well done you.
