so today is 10 days AF and i still havent started the supps, cd's or read the book because i havent recieved them. so it has been cold turkey so far. i have made it through saying no to my friends and the holiday at my family's. i have been feeling great. today was a rough one though. i had an 11 hour class that was 2 hrs from my home so as you all know what is the normally thought process after a day like that..... man i'd like a drink to unwhine, right? and then I receicve an email from my ex who i left because he was the main reason I starting drinking so heavily the past 2 yrs. plus his family is the biggest assholes ever that try to break everyone down to hide their own disfunctional issues. anyway after the long class, long drive and bullcrap email i was ready to blow! i really had to fight the old feeling of "i know how to fix this, stop at the liquor store." well long story short i didnt drink and i am glad but i am still thinking about it. i had to let it out somehow so here i am rambling to all of you. thanks for listening. :upset:

Me finding you
Hi, I had the same sort of challenges today too and this is only my 3rd. day!! I just started reading the book this morning and am guzzling liquid B vitamins until my supplies arrive.
Good for you and me too! A big hug to you!!:h -
well i got through it
WTG findingme... Just remember, in the morning you'll love yourself even more for being sober and dealing with it... Just deal with it tomorrow... Have a relaxing cup of decaf tea... put your feet up.... light a candle... and listen to a relaxing CD....
:lP.S. You can't love if you don't love yourself... :heart:

Great news findingme!!
What was so positive about your post, apart from the fact that you have been sober for 10 days with no supps etc,:rockon: was that you are recognizing triggers and dealing with them.
I believe the habitual behavior patterns we have learned in the past are something we DO have to be careful of and try and change in ourselves.
Again Well done on 10 days sober
Love and Happiness
