AF Week of 10/5/08

Hey guys - day 3 for me today and am hoping for strength tonight. The last couple of months, I find I can go 2 days, but always by day 3, I drink the wine. Went for a great 2km swim last night, but my problem is that my wine o'clock is later than that - between 10 and 11pm. I've always waited until after my exercise routine and chores are all done. So the idea of "keeping busy" during my vulnerable times doesn't really work for me. That's the time most people start thinking about winding down and getting to bed, and that's when I want it the most - that's my habit.

I'll be ok until about 10pm, then I will maybe try going on chat to occupy myself. It has worked before for me, so maybe it will again!!!
Best to everybody!

I finally did it - went 3 days!!! Yes!!!! But no sleep last night - just hovering on the brink most of the night, although I must have slept given that I had the most excessive, strange dreams. Maybe constantly waking I just was remembering them all!! Anyway, it feels good to get my system cleared out of wine dregs, for sure!!
On to day 4 for me and best to you all on days 3, 4, 5, whatever you are achieving!!!

Paisley,

Losers don't pick themselves up and try again!!! Hang in there this is a process. We would not need this sight if we could just stop and that was that!!!

Good Day 7 Dayers
Hang in there Paisley!! It can be extremely difficult to live "Life on life's terms", but I have come to find that I must learn to cope or I will never stay sober.
Big Welcome to Nicholas-If you start you own thread, more people will know that you are here and will surely welcome you, and give you support and advice.
Congrats to those reaching their goals. Day 3 for me.
