    WHY?

    I wake up each morning feeling remorsful - won't drink tonight!!

    Go through the day, won't drink tonight!!

    I get to about 6 - then either I go buy wine or DH goes buy wine!!

    I get to 9pm and think - wine is in the fridge may as well drink it ....

    If it isn't in the house I panic, but if it is I drink it

    WHY?

    I don't have physical withdrawel it's in my head - so how do I stop my head saying it's ok to drink?

        "I don't have physical withdrawel it's in my head - so how do I stop my head saying it's ok to drink?" Get the Kudzu from this site...it worked for me.

          Have you done any aspects of the program? The program is here to help quiet those thoughts in your head and help you not to drink. The hypno CDs are great at doing that and the supplements help to feed your brain so you do not miss the alcohol as much. Sometimes willpower alone is not enough. Good luck!

            Not keeping any alcohol in the house is a great help. Don't drive home past the off license. Get your hubby on board with the no drinking - all sorts of practical things you can do to make things a bit easier. Plenty of mornings I've started out with the very best of intentions which have all disappeared by 5 o'clock that evening! But try everything possible to start getting a few AF nights under your belt and you will start to turn a corner. As suggested, read plenty and start trying out some aspects of the program. Good luck!

              WHY?

              It's all part of the AL cycle - you drink to feel better, in the morning feel remorse shame and physicalkly depressed. Spend all day feeling bad resolving not to drink. Then we get a craving/desire to aleviate that depresson with more booze. I couldn't get off a weekly cycle like that - until I surrendered, took the AL away and the bad feelings went with it. Now I have to try not to let the bad feelings back, stay on top of it and day 46 is almost over!

                WHY?

                I think many of us feel the same way. 5:00 is the witching hour for me. I spend all day feeling remorseful, beating myself up, or lately I am feeling a whole lot of nothing. I feel numb, then drink and feel more numb -- but it's an illusion because by 9:00 I feel like I've gotten a second wind. Unless I really overdid it the night before....I feel like I now suffer more from psychological hangovers, rather than the physical feeling like shit.

                On an up note, I did fill my Topa presciption -- cost me $60 even with insurance. It's a big step. I am trying not to feel scared about starting this program. I think that once I do, I'll feel better. Not sure what I'm gonna do about hubby's nightly beers. Cross that bridge when I get to it. I know he won't go fo no AL in the house.

                Thanks all,CS
