Hello

Good Morning! Patricia, you are doing fine with your posting! When reading other's posts I have seen familiar things and then things that aren't familiar at all, and I go PHEW!!! At least there's one thing I haven't started yet! LOL We are all here for the same reason, despite our own little individual quirks. That is why I feel so comfortable here. I know I can talk freely about things and everyone can understand, they won't enable me or say I am silly. I can get honest to goodness advice, coaching and support. Tell us a little bit more about yourself. You can send me a private message if you would like. What part of the world are you from? Do you have children? Pets? What are your hobbies?

Hello

Start of Day 4 for me. Feeling good. Half day of work, Boss off to a Dental Society Golf Outing. Two of our staff members are joining him, so I will be left alone manning the ship. That is good. I can get some work done!!! Hope everyone has a great day, today.

Hello

I joined the site recently, not sure when, i also came across it by accident, havn't spoken to anyone yet but hopefully will do soon when i get the hang of the site, lol, this is my seventh AF day, i was really ill last week after a massive binge, had to see GP over various things, tonsillitis which i,m sure was brought on by my drinking as alcohol affects your immune system. It really hit me what i was doing to my self and something clicked, don't no what, but it really frightened me and i no i wont ever drink again, it sounds a cliche i no, i have a lovely counselor as well who ill be seeing hopefully this week, i,v never felt so well even after seven days, imagine what i will be like in seven weeks.

Hello

Well Done ! all you guys did any of you have withdrawal symptoms ? My first 2/3 days, I

was shaky on my pins, could'nt eat, had palpitations, slept a lot, weird dreams, and one

major headache. Things much improved now, except for the fact that I would swop my

new black shoes for a glass of redwine lol!

Hello

Red-Wine, keep the new Black shoes!!!!! The worst thing they will give you is a blister! And then your new shoes will soften up and mold to fit you and you'll be fine!!! Good work, darlin! Day four is over for me and I am off to bed.

Hello

day 2 (again)

Red Wine - thanks. For the reminder of what we do to ourselves physically by constantly poisoning ourselves. It only takes a few days AF for my eyes to not look puffy, feel peaceful and energetic, and gas to calm down. But then I turn around and do it again, and again. Since finding this site, I have hope to carry it through.

Hello

Good morning

Hi everybody, Day 3 - looking at the postings it seems that most are doing ok and if they are not then at least nobody is talking about giving up which is important because I've a relative that seems to have given up and it is just so sad (I hope they haven't but things do seem dismal) - and I seem fine to date but it really is quite early. Have got a million things to do at work so will post again later - but once again thanks - this time it has made all the difference.

Hello

Apologies for going back to this thread - just wondered how everybody who was kind enough to support me is doing? Your help has been invaluable in getting to my eighth day. Thanks, Px

Hello

Hi Patricia
Day 8 is GREAT. Glad to see you continued to post as we started at the same time ...
I am nearing the witching hour of Day 3 and am having dinner with friends- so, need to be vigilant.
Hope you had a great rest of your day.
Cheers
Sheep
