Day 3

Hi and thanx to paisley for your support. Day 3 today, still a bit shaky and anxious but getting through it, another day forward, looking forward to day 4 so I can feel better, actually ate last night, and feel like I'm getting somewhere although had some trouble sleeping but that could be due to the fact that my seperated husband who we still live together for now was on the internet chatting to a phillipino girl most of the night. We might be seperated but it still hurts still, not going down the al path to drown my sorrows, just read and take some valarian, i'll drop off eventually.:thanks:

stay positive carebear. you are better than the troubles that you are experiencing. the best revenge i hear or shall i say i have been told is "live well"

i am 100% on your side and dont let anyone get you down. we need to talk more. i am so proud that you are not numbing the sound of your seperated husband chatting w/some girl by drowning yourself into a bottle.

you keep your head up. stay strong and remember we will find a way out.

much better than AL!! you'll see you will be back on top of your game!:l

Hello all 7 dayer's
I am glad that you are still here Peace. We've all had slips. What is important is that you are here. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and jump right back on that horse. We are here for you. You Can Beat the Beast

Hey Paisley
I will be here for you on Sunday as well. Last football game, I bought O'Doul's for the first time. It was pretty good, but for some strange reason, I only wanted two. Guess my sick brain said, "Hey wait, Where is the alcohol?" Don't tell the AA Nazi's.lol. They do not allow O'Douls. Maybe that is why I am struggling with AA, too rigid, but, guess what? I am off to a meeting.lol. Gotta get me a sober social life, ya know what I mean??

Dont worry. I am here for you. listen, its gonna be difficult. i have been trying for 4 years to try and stop and i am barely trying to get a handle on things. i just could nothandle it when my Dr told me "hmm, your liver enzymes are high" she asked me if i had a problem and they ran all liver tests and everything came out normal. i knew what the problem was. it was my uncontrolable drinking that is causing my liver enzymes to be high. she still doesnt know.

everyone hits rock bottom and that was only part of my rock bottom that caused me to say this is enough.

the temptation is a sob

we are here for you and everyone else.

Hi All,

Day 10 for me and I truly feel good. I'm trying to stay focused on working out rather then going out (to dinner which usually includes AL) but it's never easy. Congratulations on everyone for another AF day.

Peace, falling off the wagon, I think is part of the process as some point but as long as you can get back on the wagon keep trying to stay AF - being here and talking about it is a good step - you will make it. Just keep working at it and keep reminding yourself how good you feel the next morning of an AF evening.

I made it through another day (Day 10) it feels great but i gotta tell you - i do feel the temptation but i have perservered. well you guys we will start a new thread every sunday. i will date it and we can post our seven day experiences!!

we have to continue on this path that leads us to a much happier life!

we deserve to live long healthy lives.

congratulations to everyone no matter what day you have conquered.

and to those who have fallen off the bandwagon do not give up. you pick yourself up when you fall and if you cant do it alone get on here and we will help each other up.

Love you guys!:lilheart:

Hi all ---- sounds like everyone's doing great. I'm on my 5th day AF (again). It is my 32nd wedding anniversary, so I do plan on having a glass of wine or 2 with dinner out, but if I come home and don't have any more, I will feel like I've climbed a mountain! Wish me luck! The feeling of a clear head and more energy the next day is so wonderful. I just wish that if I did limit myself to 1 or 2 glasses, that I didn't have to start counting all over again! Can I continue with counting AF days, with the mod days in brackets... something like 5 days AF (1 day Mod)? It seems so defeating to have to start the count over.
Or maybe that should be a new thread the AF/Mod thread? Any ideas?

Hi 7 dayers
Not sure what to do about a thread New Day. Maybe someone else has a good idea about that. I do know that Bessie on the ODAT thread used to post her AF days, Mod days and Drunk Days. That may be a good way to look at it. Happy Anniversary!!! I hope u have a Great time tonight. I would like to use the Drink tracker myself, but I am not sure how to do it.

Day 5

Hi all
Day5 feeling much better today almost back to normal, the worse is behind me now. Just got a runny nose. Nearly had a major slip up yesterday, my soon to be ex husband upset me and the anxiety came back and I thought sod it i'm going to the bottle shop, but after ten minutes it went away, although I must admit i'm craving today, but I'm determined not to give in, it's just not worth it, even though it's Friday here I will not be drinking, if I can get through the first days of withdrawal I can get through this, my thoughts with you all:thanks:

Hi All,

Well I made it through day 11 and tomorrow is Friday, so it starts another weekend, which is always my weak time, but I am determined to get through it AF. I would really like to get through 30 days before I try the mod thing. One main reason to stay AF is to help with my weight loss. I just need to stay focused.


New Day, I think you have a good thought on the mod issue. I for one am looking to learn moderation of AL - learn to control myself - so I think if you can have an evening where you can keep the control of the AL rather then it controlling you, that's a very good step. At this point, I am not sure I can control myself so I need to give it more time. We all have to do what works best for us. Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations to everyone who made it through another day AF and lets all keep on going.
