Really nervous - Day 1

[Foxypoxy]

:new: well I have been reading all of your posts and after a particularly bad day yesterday (lots of white wine in the sun) I have decided that today will be Day 1 AF.

Things have crept up on me - but I cannot make excuses any more. I feel very scared about doing this and dont really know why - but if I dont sort this out now life will just get worse - the wine fixes nothing.

So here I go - wish me luck

Really nervous - Day 1

You will be amazed at how well this makes you feel.

I was just thinking about the physical improvements that I have experienced in the last 12 days of being AF. Some of the improvements include better sleep, digestion, mood and I feel that my appearance/skin is better (!?!?). My clothing is a wee bit looser as well.
Wishing you a super Day 1.
:welcome:
Sasha.

Hi Foxy
I'm very new too! (12 hours new) I think what you said about it 'creeping up on you' is very true.
I would like to be AF today as well. Lets do it together!

Really nervous - Day 1

Foxy,

:welcome:

Fear is the first thing we have to overcome when considering stopping the drinking.

I think there are lots of reasons for the fear, fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of not "enjoying" life (that is the Beast talking!!), fear of .

A really good post on that is the sticky thread "Like a swimming pool." It is a very good read and may give you some inspiration!!

Glad you are here and hope we can be of help.

Love,
Cindi

Welcome Foxy and Sheepish, You have come to a great place with the most understanding & supportive people I know. I am 35 days AF today and I'm still scared sometimes. I agree, its Al talking. You deserve to take charge of your life and feel good. Keep it up ODAT.

Really nervous - Day 1

This place is great - welcome! I am 6 days AF and like Sasha I am seeing physical improvements, mental and emotional improvement and my vitality is back. You can do this. I absolutely know where you are coming from. From my kitchen yesterday I could hear my best friend and her family in their back yard in the heat drinking and whopping it up. Sounded like fun, but when I woke up NOT hungover this morning, and she looked like someone had run her over with a truck, I KNEW I chose the right path!
