I am so sick of feeling sick

[miim619]

My stomach aches, my chest feels heavy and I keep coughing. My head aches. Why do I keep picking up the wine every night when I know the consequenses? I need professional help with my anxiety, cannot wait for my health insyrance to kick in.

hope y'all are having a better day than I am

Why put off your recovery because of no health insurance? If you are drinking heavily, then why not start to wean yourself down? Drink lots of water - drink water in between drinks. Get some food into you, take vitamins.... there is so much you can do today!!

I suffer from anxiety and it was way worse when I was drinking. It was rough the first few days after I quit but trust me it got a whole lot better and manageable.

Taking little steps can do a world of good.

Baby steps is right. Set a small attainable goal for today so you aren't overwhelmed. Drink glasses of water in between as suggested before me, set an earlier bed time...take a long bath and leave the wine downstairs, do the old weight watcher's trick, mix the wine with sparkling water or diet 7UP...ANYTHING to reduce your intake tonight..

Then set another attainable goal tomorrow...add exercise, read the MWO book, add vitamins...keep improving your life day by day...

miim, do you have a plan for the rest of the night? Have you had some water? Every little positive step helps. Whatever you do, don't give up. :h

Dear Miim619,

I know how you feel! I have been waking every morning with headaches, and sluggish, and kept saying I will quit tomorrow. I was happy when the other day I just had 2 drinks and felt so much better. I like the advice the others gave too. Lets try water in between ( it will fill us up to!) and then nurse the drink.
I try to do some sort of exercise before the evening to take my mind off of the craving. But, tonight I am bad because I know I will see the Doctor tomorrow and confide in him that I need help. SO.... I have had 3 glasses already as an excuse that I will quit tomorrow. I'll probably regret it in the morning. I'll stay in touch to see how you are doing. Maybe we can compare notes as we improve.

Moonlight ( thats when the craving starts for me) therefore the name

Moonlight, gosh can I identify. It's always "I will quit tomorrow" Good for you admitting to the MD you need help. I think I am there too. Keep in touch

Welcome Miim,

Start hanging out here more and start cutting that wine in half with water OR drink one glass of water after each glass of wine. There are lots of other tricks, just hang around here and you'll find you're way out. : )




Lots of Love,



Myheart
