Hi Keg and Sweaty B! Brilliant you are on day 5 now SB, I have just woken up for Day 3! Feeling OK, sleep still very light and I am all consumed by this at the moment and don't think about a lot else - guess that is just me, I don't do anythign by halves! I feel really pleased with myself though.
Not sure when I will allow myself a glass of wine, have a BBQ on Saturday but am thinking of not having anything as it could be the slippery slope back to daily drinking and a bottle a night. Don't think I am ready to test myself yet.
Hi Keg, I told my hubby last night, he is a very kind and understanding man. I was going to keep it secret and pass the supplements off as a new herbal/detox regime but decided to have a chat about it instead. I also need to stop him just pouring me drinks I haven't even asked for. He was very supportive, I didn't do the "I think I am an alcoholic" routine, I just said I think I drink more than I should and I have decided to try to moderate it and get down to 14 units per week, especially with alcoholics on both sides of my parents families. His attitude was great except he said not to bother with the program and supplements as I gave up smoking 5 years ago with sheer willpower and should do the same with alcohol. I tried to explain that I think the addiction is different, you are pre-disposed to alcohol addiction - cigarette addition is self taugh I think?! I know he'll be supportive though, I just don't want him adding any pressure, it's my decision and I want to do it for myself.
By the way, I downloaded the book online, worth a read certainly I think, although a lot of it is on the website already.
Good luck
