Hi everyone

Day 1 for me. Have listened to one of the clearing tapes and taken my supplements. Good luck everyone.

AHHHH! Temptation lurks behind every corner.
Was cleaning behind the curtain and found a half bottle of wine stashed away! (cant even remember putting it there)
Ran into the kitchen with it and poured it straight down the sink! yay!

I'm with everyone on 30 days. And to those with the fear (I'm one of them) of failing, you are a winner for making the attempt and taking a positive step.

I have been rolling this around in the back of my mind for a couple days, and I think I'll join too. Yahoo!

Yesterday, I only had one beer with my dinner. I went to the grocery at 9:00pm. It felt so good to be free. Normally I would be long drunk by then and in bed trying to sleep it off so I wouldn't be so hung over the next day at work.

The week or so of September AF are going to be challenging for me, the stuff I ordered will not be here and I'll just be gritting it out.

Best wishes to all on the first day!

Hope everyone is able to get through this night AF. I'm doing fine...Thurs-Sat are my witching days. To all those who are struggling right now, you CAN do it. If you screw up start again tomorrow. Have compassion, understanding and love for yourself, just as you would have for someone else going through this nightmare.

I think I have to join you all in your AF September. I've fallen back into the evil bottle of wine (minimum) a day routine and have to stop it!!!!!!! This is another day 1 for me today, and I hope to stay AF for 3 weeks - I will not force the AF issue when I am at a conference in Hawaii, but if only I can stay AF until then I would be sooooooooo happy!!!! I just don't seem to have any faith in my ability to do this any more! I don't know why?! But ok - I will try and I will read the threads and try to not avoid this place, as I tend to do when I fall off the wagon.
Good luck to everybody here and congrats on a successful Day1 AF. Bring on Day 2!!!

What does everyone drink as a soft substitute?

Not doing topomax, just got all the other stuff but so far not here so surviving on milk thistle and evening primrose at moment.

I got an odd one: Lemon Kool-Aid with about 4 drops of mint extract in it. I mix the Lemon and Mint it as a concentrate in a 16 oz water bottle that I keep in the fridge. Then to "make" my drink, I put 1 1/2 shots of lemon concentrate in a glass with two non-sugar tablets, and fill my glass with ice and water. The mint kick makes it hard to remember there's no kick to it. It's also calorie free.

I find day 2 and 3 unbearable without something to numb me. Valerian (an over the counter herbal) works for me, one pill every 12 hours. In August I got to Day 2 six times, but I'm on Day 3 now, which I've only done once before. I'm going to try going valerian free for a bit, but will go back if I start getting anxious.
