Good job Patricia! I'm also facing evening two (again). We can do it.

Has anyone tried Campral instead of Topomax? I am trying it for the first time today...3 pills during the day. Will report on how that works to curb the urge to have a drink

Patricia -

Today is my day 7 and I feel so much better physically and mentally for I am really, really proud of myself! Plus, I have so much more energy and focusing on doing the things I want to do, not focusing on the next drink.

So, if 7 days AF if your goal, many of us here have done it.....best wishes and you go girl!

Great job patricia and shelby and erin,
Do we all feel better already, or what! I know my frame of mind has completely turned around. When I made it the first 24 hours I gained a whole new sense of hope. I am riding high on it right now. I know we'll all make it to day 7 (and beyond) like erin. Have a great day and a sucessful evening! kriger

You all are doing so well...me not so good. Gave in last night. But even thought I did, it was different. I felt different. I am gaining a new attitude toward the whole thing. I am strong and going to keep at it.
Today WILL be day one

Hi all,

Am afraid I failed miserably these last few days - but am back and with a vengeance! So this is Day 2 AF for me. Still aiming for the seven to start with.

HEY POPPY!
I'll join you on this. I'm on my first day after screwing up sooo many times.

Starting over again as well. Didn't know this was going to be so hard. Have started with the Kudzu, so hoping that helps a bit.... but I know it's mostly up to me to have the strength and determination to fight AL.

Hi everyone! I'm new - just started posting today but I've been browsing around quite a bit. I would like to shoot for 7 AF days too. Don't know if I can do it or not but 30 days just seems too daunting right now. Hope to hear from you soon!

Ok - it's 3:30 and I've just had my first craving of the day. But, instead of giving in to it, I poured myself a diet Coke with my l-glut and came here to post. It's a small step, I know, but one in the right direction!

Ploby --- I'm just on day 2 AF (again) ... and yes, the tough hours are approaching for us! What I've found has worked other days is having a tonic with lots of lime and ice. I've also tried cranberry juice/soda in my wine glass .. and that's gotten me past the toughest hours. You stay strong, and I will too!

Thanks New Day. I drank tonic and lime when I was pregnant. Had forgotten about that so I will try is again tonight. I didn't make it AF last night so I'll start over today. Went to an Italian restaurant and had 2 glasses of wine but that was it. Usually, I would have started at 3:30 then gone out and then had one when I got home too. So, I guess it was progress. How did you do last night? Good luck today!

Hi Ploby --- I stayed AF last night, but I was home, so it was easier. We have a dinner out with friends tomorrow night, and I've not told anyone of my plan to greatly reduce my alchol intake. My plan for tomorrow is to have the glass or two like you did... and that will be it. I will be able to do that over dinner, the real test for me is when we get home ... I then would normally carry on drinking by myself. So, when we arrive home, I'm going to go straight to the bathroom and brush my teeth and put my pj's on. If I do that, I'll be very happy. I plan to stay AF tonight as well for day 3.
