Hey - 7 Day People...

Savon --- that might be a good idea --- new thread each week.

Hey - 7 Day People...

Hey - 7 Day People...

New thread at the start of each week sounds good.

Hey - 7 Day People...

Okay so this is my second week of the day 7 day plan. yesterday was pretty hard for me as it was Monday and all but thank God I somehow managed!!

So here i am on day 2 of this second round. I feel great this morning. No hangovers no cloudiness and no headaches that i have to nurse throughout the work day.

Thank you guys for all the support!! I give you guys much kuddos on this journey!!!


We are a strong bunch!

I am eagerly awaiting for my L-glut and kudzu though.

Does anyone have any ideas/opinions on these supplements?

Hey - 7 Day People...

Hi Paisley --- I take the L-Glut and Kudzu 3 times daily (most times) and do find they help with the cravings. I also have some powdered L-Glut that I got from a local nutrition store and take a 1/4 tsp under my tongue when the urge is extra powerful.
However, it hasn't helped me get past the mental issues of the weekend. So, I'm now on Day 3 this week again. Friday and Saturday have been my downfall...... BUT having said that .... I can't remember when Friday and Saturday were my only drinking days! So I am still thankful for MWO for getting me this far and I will not quit trying for more AF days just because of that.
Thank you Paisley for starting this thread, because as with a lot of others, the thought of 30days at once is overwhelming.
Here's to another AF day ---- and I feel great because of not drinking.

Hey - 7 Day People...

Sorry Savon --- thanks to you too for starting a new weekly one!:l

Hey - 7 Day People...

Hi all, this is day 3 on my 7 day plan and I feel YUK! Really disturbed sleep last night with weird nightmares - still feel strange today. Battling on though. Think the idea of 7 days is so much more acceptable to commitment phobes like me!

Hey - 7 Day People...

Hi Madmummy ---- I'm day 3 again too. Sorry to hear of your bad nightmares. I have weird dreams too when I'm AF. .... after I finally get to sleep. But I find that once I am asleep, I'm getting that deep REM sleep that I didn't when I went to bed drunk. Hopefully the nightmares will pass as you get more AF days behind you.

Hey - 7 Day People...

YAY! (Got frustrated with the LONG thread...!!)

And on the Nineth day... I stumbled. So today is my Day 1.

Now, for some advice (altho I Think I'll know what most will say...):

I'm going Oct. 3-7 to Santa Fe to visit a friend I haven't seen in 5-6 yrs., and who I didn't really know very well then (she was my hairdresser!). I have no idea if she drinks, or if her friends drink.

Soooo, if they DO drink, I'm thinking I could be sociable and be VERY moderate. Hold a drink in my hand more than drink it!

I know I'm very motivated not to overdo it, since we really don't even know each other. I would never risk embarrassing myself in front of her friends.

I'm hoping it won't even be an issue. Saying "no" to a Welcome drink seems almost rude... Although I know many people just don't like alcohol. I guess I could fake that!!?

Hey - 7 Day People...

Hey Savon --- since you don't know if she drinks, she probably doesn't know if you did either. What a perfect opportunity to say "If you don't mind, I'd prefer a soda, or juice" .... for all she knows, you have never drank, or just don't care for it. If there is AL, she may be inclined not to open more during your visit if you are upfront at the beginning about preferring non-AL drinks. You did 9 days, so you know you've got the ability to get through the 4 day visit. .... and congratulations on those 9 days too!

Hey i am soo proud of u!! we have come a long way and even though the weekends are a demon to us we are understanding of the fact that it is that - a demon

but we are perservering. i cant believe the improvemen in my lifestyle. i feel better and thanks to all of you.

it doesnt matter which thread we post on because to me we are all in this together.

thank you savon for continuing the thread. we may have people on different days but ultimately our goal is the same and that is vital to the 7 day thread!

Hey - 7 Day People...

Thanks, New Day for advice. Just have to be Careful. I don't want to be a fuddy-duddy, either!

Paisley - I think it was a good idea to begin with (your idea!) to start the 7 day thread. I just couldn't bring myself to do the 30 days...

Like you said, it doesn't matter what day you are on - just that you have a 7 day goal. (With ODAT in mind!)

So should we start a new 7 day thread every Sunday? (I'll be out of town, so why don't you start it?)

[savon19]

Hey - 7 Day People...

Thanks, New Day, for advice. I don't want to be a fuddy-duddy.. so that's why I was thinking I could just have A drink (if it even comes up...).

Paisley - glad you think it's a good idea for new thread. What about we start it every Sunday? Like you said, doesn't matter what day people are on...

I really like the 7 day thing. Just couldn't bring myself (yet!) to do the 30 day thread...

Since this was your idea... - will you pls start the new thread this Sunday? (I'll be out of town - not sure if I'll have access to computer...)

[paisley]

Hey - 7 Day People...

absolutley, every sunday we can start a new thread. for you folks in different time zone (different parts of the world other than the North America) please advice what time day is good for you as well.

we need to make sure we are there for each other!!!
