Hello everyone:

Starting the 13th day of AF. Yahoo....

Last night went out with friends after work. One of the group bought a round and when she asked me what I wanted I said a non alcohol beer. Really, she asks. Really? I say, yes, that is what I want.

Then later as we are all chatting, she asks me why I am not drinking. Am I dieting or something. I play it down and say I'm just not drinking right now.

I find it interesting how the people in our lives unwittingly try to undercut our good intentions. To ask me why I'm not drinking seems so nosy. And perhaps I am being a bit touchy because I have not shared with anyone in that group my alcohol problems, but this person in particular has an ability to sniff out the details of one's life and pick at them.

Rust: I fell asleep in the recliner last night, something I never do. I was watching the news on the hurricane, eating my Subway sandwich, then, bam, I am asleep and didn't move all night. Can the lack of alcohol still be working its way out of my system?

Welcome, Patricia. Let it all hang out. That is what we are here for. I have found the ability to be honest here quite liberating.

Regarding the slips...what the heck. Keep on trucking, let's see how we did at the end of the month.

How's everyone's weekend going?

Hi everyone

Week-end going good so far, extremely busy but that's a good thing. Had 10 hours sleep last night which is unheard of but hopefully it should help. Watching a dvd tonight and have the AF beer in the fridge cooling in case I'm tempted.

Casey, you put yourself first, its nobody elses business. Lots of us dont feel comfortable sharing and none of my friends would even guess that I have an alcohol problem.

Weather was beautiful here today but spent most of the day chauffering daughters around, hockey, pony etc. however, it was nice to see the sun shine and I read my book in between.

Enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone.

Hi everyone

Day 15 so at the half way mark. Even if you did not manage all the last 15 AF why not jump on board and do the latter half of the month. Every AF day counts.

Have agreat Monday.

Morning everyone ---- I'll jump back on board... it's the weekends that get me. Have been fine Sundays through Thursday. Each time I have an AF stretch, it seems a little easier to achieve .... I hoping to plow through this coming weekend AF with the inspiration I get from you all.

How is everyone? Has everyone dropped out? I had a couple drinks last night. My craving is still there ever nagging me.

I started the supplements and topa Thursday night and have not felt well since, but I intend to continue forward. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Not feeling as bad as a hangover, but definately felt better not taking anything atoll.

Please help me out, I'm feeling kinda lost right now.

Hi Casey,

I am not usually on this thread because I working up to (down to?) my 30 day AF period. Read some of the Topa threads. I started it just 2 weeks ago. Some do have side effects and some more effects if drinking while on it. We are all so different.

I’m sorry you’re feeling lost. I admire your days AF and hope to be right behind you soon. I’ve managed 2-3 together but never more before giving up and going away. This time I’m back with a vengeance and Topa and am going to make it!

Hugs.

Thank you Waiting. I took the morning round of supps, had some breakfast and am feeling better now. A girlfriend and I are going on a overnight, so I probably will have a couple tonight. That is why I consumed last night as well. It definately felt great not consuming for 20 days and after tonight I intend to do the rest of the month AF.

Again, thank you so much for your reply. I just needed to know someone was out there. I don't share this part of my life with anyone and that is difficult.
