Tomorrow is 8/08/08. What a perfect day to start abstinence for 30 days (and hopefully longer). I've quit lots of times - sometimes for longer, sometimes for shorter. But I've proven to myself time after time that I cannot control my drinking, and it is so hard on my body. So -- anyone want to join me on day 1 tomorrow? Though I am not much of a 'sharer', I have made a promise to myself to write each day for the next 30 --- talk to you tomorrow!

Hi Sing On
I wish I could say Yes I would join you but I am in a bad place this week and would probably let us both down.
I will 'go for it' on Monday- so I will only be a few days behind you.
Wishing you the best of luck. -

Hi Sing on,
I will join you, I have already managed 8 days, and feel so much better for it.
Marbella, sorry you are feeling so bad, but it will pass. I know I have been in
such a bad place many times.
Wishing you well.

I just cant seem to shake the mood away inspite of years of Al abuse, I dont normally become deppressed but this time I am. :sigh:
Well good luck with being AF!

Marbella, have you seen a doctor? you could need an anti depressant. It must be so difficult for you living in Spain, where drinking seems to be a way of life, and al is so cheap. Although it's probably
as bad over here. You can buy al so cheap in the supermarkets. The only thing is we don't have the
sunshine, which is another factor for drinking.
Looking forward to you joining us.
Love Paula..Comment

Thanks Paula- it is true about Al being so easy to get here but I guess if I lived in Outer Mongolia I would manage to get my hands on it just the same.
I also look forward to joining you- my doctor doesnt seem to have much idea about this sort of thing- and I react badly to most meds anyway.
Sure I'll feel better tomorrow.Comment

Singon,
I know I'm in for 30 days on another thread, but I'm not sure which. I'll get in on any 30 challenge anywhere if it will help me through this. I know many of you feel the same way. Plan, Set Goals, Plan, Set Goals........up until a few days ago I didn't think I could accomplish any goal or do much of anything. That lousy "stinkin' thinkin" has changed, thank heavens! I hope everyone has a healthy AF weekend! kriger"People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning." Lao-TzuComment

Marbella,
Are you taking any of the supps? I'm so sorry you'r feeling down today. Can you take a break from your busy day and do something for you, like a spa treatment or a walk in the park? Sometimes just getting away from the day to day rountine in enough to pull you back up a bit. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way all day. kriger"People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning." Lao-TzuComment

What a great group of humans!
Thanks everyone for posting - what a relief it is to have a community to 'talk' to. I'm glad to have company on this 30 day AF...and Marbella, don't worry, your mood will pass and you will move on. Since I promised to write each day, here's the report; it was not an easy day - not because of craving (I'm taking Campral, and also supplemented with Kudzu, plus the powdered vitamins), but more because of fatigue and depression. I'm trying to not have any expectations of how I'll feel, or judgements about how I do feel...even tired and cranky, I'm sober, and that's better than the other option. Thanks everyone -:lComment

Let's all be good to ourselves
Thank you, Wally, and welcome to you too! What a good idea - rest - we all probably need more of it than we think. Here's to a weekend of healing...Comment
