ok, I suck at this. I can't even do a 7 day plan at this point. I am bailing. I love you guys. Stick with it. I have to come up with something that will work for me. I am not yet ready for the big group commit. Stay tuned.

Wow! It's amazing how as I read through some of the messages, how I can totally relate to so many of you and your words. I never really talked to anyone like this - friends or family - and it really helps me to be able to relate on AF matters. This is day 2 for me and I am anticipating the weekend, because that is my toughest time. I am going to put my focus on working out to get my mind off of it. If I can make it to the gym and feel good about my health and accomplishment, I am hoping I can hold on to this and feeling and not want to have that wine - white, sweet wine is my poison. My weight issues have alot to do with my drinking. OK, 2 down and 5 (or more) to go.

Croft, I'm sorry to hear that you are bailing but as you said, you have to find what works for you. I wish you much luck in finding that. Keep reading the messages and maybe one day something will just click for you and you will be willing to try a 7 day AF goal again and make it through.

Good morning everyone!!!!

How awesome it is to get up and not have a knot in your stomach, and a foggy head!!! I am starting Day2 today and will be keeping busy. My mom is having surgery tomorrow so I will have some stress coming (she will be staying with me for a couple weeks and can't drive for 12 weeks) but I know she will be relying on me and I'd much rather do that AF. I know I will be ready to flip out in a cuple days but for today, I feel good and I will deal with feeling like s**t when and if it ever happens.

I hope that everyone has a great AF day! I will be back this afternoon....taking Mom out shopping before her hospital stay.

Ok, this is day 2 AF for me. The hardest as it's "hump day" (Wednesday) and we usually go out to dinner which means 3-4 glasses of wine for me. I think we'll either eat at home or go out to a non-alcoholic place. The kids would love that as I never take them to those places. :yuk:

I've got my glut ready for emergencies and am ready to tackle the day! Good luck everyone! :h

Hello
thanks to all of those who have joined although you have more then 7 days, you give me hope and inspiration. Working on day 3 today. I haven't really had a chance to thinking about drinking because I had oral surgery and I'm on anitbiotics. although I'm in pain, I 'm taking this opportunity to center myself and not drinking for awhile as I heal physically and spiritually. I started doing t'ai chi/qigong a few days ago and it really helped with getting ready for the surgery. I've downloaded Iyanla Vanzant's "living from your center: guided meditations" and I love it.

In the past I have found that meditating and doing yoga and t'ai chi helps me but I went on a binge and couldn't get back to my regular practice because of hangovers and feeling depressed. Now that I have this opportunity I will get back to getting healthy. I wanted to start feeling sorry for myself and telling myself, you can't do this, you're a looser but I know those are just thoughts and they were not going to control me this time.

Congratulations to everyone working on day 3 AF and those who are supporting us and have more than 7 days AF.

Hi All!

Day 3 for me also. I found last night hard but got distracted by finding a grey hair in the middle of my head so went to the shops and bought dye instead - long time since I dyed my hair...when I was young and carefree I used to dye it all sorts of colours - boring brown this time but my hair is lovely and shiny today which is making me feel better!

Good luck to everyone, no matter what day you are on - over the HUMP and beyond!

7 Days sounds great

Hello everyone.
I have never done 7 days yet. 5 days has been my max, so this is a new goal for me. My plan is not to drink today and then take some Antibuse for the first time tomorrow. Then I will not be able to drink through the weekend--I have always made excuses on the weekend.
I am looking forward to the feeling good part, and getting myself off this roller coaster of guilt and excuses. I'll let you know tomorrow AM if I am really able to do it, and pop that pill in my mouth!

I am working on Day 3! I am feeling a little sleepy this morning. It was hard for me to sleep last night but even though I lost sleep, I still feel better this morning than when I wake up with a hangover. I am excited you guys are doing this and for those that need to find a diff avenue i wish you all the best and remember we are still here for you!!!!!

Lets check in on each other throughout the day

bandit, I just dyed my hair for the first time yesterday. I had a falling out with my regular hairdresser (of 10 years) as I couldn't accommodate her schedule! I tried it myself and feel great as the color came out fine and my hair is shiny and pretty. Now, I must tell you, finding one gray hair on your head is nothing. Wait until you find your first gray hair, um, how can I say this...down there! It's horrible and no one prepares you for it! There, you've all been prepared!

I will give it a go too. This will be my first time joining this kind of thread ( I think) so maybe it will help motivate me.
