I'd like some help so I'm turning to my wonderful MWO buddies. I blew it last night for the first time in a long time. I'm going to do a 7 day AF stint. Today is day 1 for me.

No matter how many AF days you have, I'd love it if you'd join me for the support I need. I'll give support back, I promise. :l

My long term plan is to mod but I'm going to be AF for a while. I drank 6 glasses of wine last night due to financial stress. I'm on topa and didn't even desire the first glass. I didn't take the time to think it through. It was the wrong move to make. I've been doing so well for months and this is NOT me. Thanks for asking.

Hi Becoming ---- I'll join you! I'm on Day 4, but never been able to get past that...... I'd really like to get to 7 days this time! Days 4 and 5 are tough ones for me, but since I had an AF Saturday (never before!), I'm day 4 earlier in the week than usual, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to make it this time.
You have been inspiring before, and I know you can be again ..... but don't beat yourself up, as you would tell others. It's not easy, but as long as you don't give up and give into AL totally, you know you can do it again.:l

One thing that keeps me on the straight and narrow is acknowledging how destructive drinking is...I have just watched a woman on the news who needs to drink 15 cans of lager a day just to function. Not even to get drunk but just to get out of bed...her speech is slurred and she looks dreadful, she is only 37. She is going to do a home detox in the new year...there but for the grace of god go any one of us...

Be- Buddy, you bet I'm with you! I'm at day#4.

:l Don't you start beating yourself up...you are strong! One of the strongest here. You have all my support friend. Is your throat feeling better? Are you ok, besides? :l
It's hard times financialy for me also, you're not alone there. Finances Schminances!!!! Sometimes we are not ourselves but we can learn from that person too!

Another tool that might help you is to watch the Rain in My heart documentary...harrowing, scary but pretty much guaranteed to put you off picking up that drink...
Shall I bump it up for you?

Hi and I agree with starting. Rain in my heart is truly disturbing, harrowing and shocking. I live very close to where the documentary was made, in fact, my husband goes there all the time with various footie injuries on a sunday. I watched it via you tube, if you like i will upload the thread for you. You have to watch in stages. Everyone should watch this, the narrator/documentor/film-maker was at times so exasperated and desperate to help but he couldn't. After all, it was a 'fly on the wall'. Watch it. Anyone wants the thread just let me know. just be prepared for tears and......well, it's a personal journey. summer x

I've watched most episodes of the Rain in My Heart documentary....... but I guess I sort of reacted by thinking well, I'm no where near those stages, so it doesn't apply to me ....... but in my heart of hearts, I know that if I continued, it could be. Time to stop the madness!

Thanks, guys, this means so much to me. My throat is a lot better, Jamms. I'm pretty sure it was due to stress. I always get strep throat when I'm stressed. I internalize it. I have to be the stong one at home or everyone falls apart. This time I fell apart. My 12-year-old daughter is so unused to seeing me sick she went to her guidance counselor crying because she was so worried about me. :upset:
