    PROGRAM '09 WEEK #1 Jan 1

    HI Jamms

    I tried to find the substantive fart thread but could only find the jokey ones!
    I did find one about indigestion and supplements that might help...

    See holistic.

      PROGRAM '09 WEEK #1 Jan 1

      Hey - day 4 at an end and I feel fine!!! This is going so great!! Must not let my guard down. Had a great swim and my plan is to take 2 Valerian, listen to the 20 minute hypno track then go right into sleep learning and hopefully fall asleep. Keep your fingers crossed for me, and thanks guys for the info on the Valerian.

      Sweet dreams until tomorrow!! (although it already is morning for the NZ folk!!)

          Good Morning All! It is early morning here in Ohio, USA as I write. The sun is just coming up. Today is day 5 for me. I have not made it past day 5 yet in my journey. Had a few day 4's. So, today is a big day for me. I feel completely confident that I will do it. Keep strong everybody! We can do it!

              Good Morning Dill and Everybody! Well, here we go day 5. Monday and the "holidays" are over so I guess it back to somewhat of a normal schedule. I don't start back classes until next Monday, so I still have a week to 'prepare' for the real world. I haven't slept well the last two nights, thought about getting some Valerian? Can you take that w/ the Calmes Forte? And also waking up with dry mouth, wtf...I have been drinking water like crazy!

              Jamms - having the same problem, HA ,glad you brought it up first...will def check out that link

              Guess I'll have coffee and go to the park, try to get in a run/walk/run

              Stay strong everybody and good job!

                Hi all --- Day 5 for me too .... Dill, I've been the same as you ... a few day 4's, but this was always my stumbling day .... I think a lot had to do with lack of sleep. I was awake until after 4:00 am! ... went to bed at 11:00 ... so that's alot of time being frustrated ... and I took 2 Valerians, 1 Melatonin and a sleep-aid that has valerian and melatonin ... then a glass of milk at 2:30 am. .... nothing worked!
                I feel stronger about being able to go AF this time though because after the first couple of days, the cravings have been easier to fight off.
                I will be back later today when I need to gather some resolve to continue the fight around the dinner hour!
                Have a great day everyone!

                    Good morning everyone!!! Well, day 5 has arrived for many of us!! That is wonderful!!! What a great opportunity to turn this into an awesome week to start!.....just the thought that today we already have 4 days behind us and have ALL WEEK LONG to add up more sober, clear, healthy, meaningful days to our lives!!!!
                    I see today as a blessing and want to encourage all of you who may struggle through it or those of you who are already worried about what this evening will be....to meditate on why we are all here....dig out your list of reasons and stick them in your pocket. Heck, write them on your palm if you have too!!!!!
                    Day 5 is just another day! We can all get through it together!!! :h
                    Yo: Your 'saging' ceremony sounds so interesting!!!! Please let us all hear more from you!
                    To everyone else.....have a great day!!! And hugs to you all!
                    Oh yeah, another night of great sleep....don't know why it's different this time....I've always struggled so much with that before.
                    New Day! I hope that works out soon for you!!!!!

                    Day 5 is a pussycat!!!!! :catroll:

                      Goodmorning!!...Yeah...woke up late but managed to get my little guy to school....Hubby is home today....he's out running some errans right now...we've been having some pretty difficult morning lately.....I feel it's more him then me..but...who knows...this morning he is upset because my 17 year old missed school today...he came home drunk last night....so hubby is taking it out on me....because of course it's my fault...anyway...I just made him wake up....yeah....I know...I'm keeping an eye on him... a very close one....he is aware of my issues and of what I'm doing...he hates when I drink to much....but he has also seen me drinking since he was young....he used to bring me alka seltzer for cryin' out loud....so he is a concern for me...besides all that.....

                      I'm feeling a little better this morning....had to get to the bathroom twice the second I opened my eyes...I found some citucel in my cubard so I took it this morning....I took my supps except for the ALLONE and topa (today I dose up to 50mg) I will take those in the evening....I haven't eaten anything yet...not hungry....but I will eat after this post. I also don't thinkI'm drinking enough water....gotta work on that

                      Becoming- Hello, so glad you're here...how's it going?

                      Cat-Isn't this the worst? I took the citrucel last night before bed and this a.m. forst thing on an empty stomach....that was at 8am...so far, so good it's 11:15am.

                      Day#5 woo hoo...no craves at all!!! Love it!! My fear is that once I get "back into life" I've been in my house with my family over the holdiays, and back to work/reality it will be harder to do this...I may have to become one of those people who can't leave there house...yesterday I walked around the block with my little girl, but today I actually have to go to the grocedry store...haven't been able to before...was to "out of it"

                      Enough of my rambling...:goodjob: everyone is doing so great...and everyone sounds so happy...it's very inspriring...let's keep it up!!

                      :l:l to you all

                        Day 5 - doing great everybody.

                        I'm like New Day in the sleep department. So frustrating. But, other than that, very minimal cravings which are quite manageable. I think it is a mind set. My mind set is different this time and I have great faith in myself.

                        BF thinks I am much more serious, much more no-nonsense when I don't drink. The 17yo boys in my house don't get away with as much. They wanted to take the car out again saturday night when it was -40C out there, and I finally put my foot down and said no, there is no need for you to go out again, your friends can make their own way home. They have a hard time starting that old carburatored car when it is so cold out and keep running the battery down and needing to boost it, and I get scared for them when it is so cold out and they only have their runners on. Had I been drinking, I probably wouldn't have been so stern with them and would have not paid attention had they gone out again anyway. I think I take better care of the kids when I am sober. Go figure!!!!

                        Jamms - I know where you are at with your 17yo. The two in my house skip alot of school, especially my BF's son. My boy will graduate this year, but his boy has a long way to go, as he has failed alot of classes, mostly due to skipping. Geez - i don't really want him living at my home going to high school until he's 20, so he better smarten up and stop skipping 70% of his classese!!!!

                        Back to work - have a great day everybody.

                          Hey all,
                          I'm in! Today is day 2 AF. Weird, but I feel as if I have a hangover today....bad sign? I have all supps expect the Topamax. Has anyone done it that way? Oh - I don't have the ALLOne either - but use a protein shake daily that compared quite nicely in the nutritional breakdown.
                          I am also beginning training for a 1/2 marathon in Pittsburgh, PA on May 3 so this will all help. Maybe I can reduce that boggy area around my girth.....
                          Any ideas and help would be appreciated. I'm very new here and very new to the MWO program. Kind of put it together on my own. Found a generic cd to save the $$ on the MWO cd's. May have to splurge, don't know yet.
                          Thanks to all!

                            Welcome cantsayno !- I find the supps to be a big help as I don't really have any cravings since taking them. I have the CD's just haven't gotten around to starting w/ them. This is a wonderful place to start as I'm sure you'll find, lots of great people all in the same boat-visit often

                                Hello everyone, it's hard for me to post today because I'm feeling very low and afraid that I'll drink tonight. I'm at work right now dreading 5pm. I know why I'm feeling this way but it's difficult to verbalize. I've been going to therapy to deal with issues of grief. My mother passed almost 9 years ago but I never really confronted the pain and many times used AL to cope which kind of pushed me to seek professional psychotherapy now.

                                To make a long story short, I have an assigment which involves writing a letter to my mother and deal with the pain, guilt, loneliness emptiness, etc..:upset:I have to write this before my next session and I'm just afraid of the feelings that will come up. I know I can do this, it is just so difficult to feel the pain.

                                Thanks for listening, I know I can do this, I will post later tonight. Hope everyone reaches their goal today. Peace
