I still think you're a legend

Kia Ora Mia,

Wonder how you went and how long you lasted.

Three hours was pretty good I think. Trick is...........just extend it by 30 minutes each day. It's a bit like eating an elephant. If you look at the whole elephant, you'll be overwhelmed. If you just eat a little each day, before you know it, you'll have eaten the bugger.
Same with your drinking.

Hang in there girlfriend. You CAN extend a little each day.

What worked for me...

The biggest enemy for my drinking was eating(that's why I always waited until just before bed before I ate the whole day, and why I was only 142 pounds and 6'2") They say in A.A. that one of the worst triggers to drink is to be hungry. Don't be worried about the pounds take them off later, lets battle the drink first.
Good luck to you.
I would like to say this if anybody on here is in need to talk to someone I send an invitation to you all to feel free to pm me and I would be more than happy to share my experiences,strengths, hopes and dreams with you (I wish it could be instant) I am by no means an expert but I can listen very well. You see this is a selfish act on my part as helping others keeps me sober and if someone told me to stick my finger in my ear, stand on one leg and whistle Dixie I would do it to stay sober.

Can Some-One Please Answer Me a Couple Of Questions

Hi, I am just starting out and am on week 2. I have read the book, am doing the tapes, sups and am on to 50mg of Topa and I am already feeling an amazing, amazing reduction in my cravings. I was a 1 bottle of wine a girl night. It went down like water. Just then I had a glass of low - Alcohol wine with heaps of ice and it took me 1 hour to sip slowly and it felt like I had drunk 2 bottles. I couldn't imagine having anymore. My first question is, as I am going for moderation is it ok to stop at 50 mg with the Topa as I have already reduced my cravings and just keep up with the other elements and is it ok to listen to the subliminal ocean tape at night as sleep to sleep learning rather than the water sleep to sleep learning or perhaps alternate nights or am I just being anal about this and should just go for it. Really, I just want to talk to some-one as I have not told a soul I am doing this and I am over the moon that I have found this amazing answer to my twenty year monkey on my back.

Hey Mia - greetings from a fellow sober kiwi - hope you have made it through Tuesday. You are sure at the right place, and I relate totally to your drinking. About 12 years ago, when my drinking started getting REAL bad (morning/sneaking drinks etc) I would have the smell of coffee filtering through the house - the pot permanently on and refreshed, to elimante the smell of wine which was EVERYWHERE as I was always hiding glasses of it and forgetting where!

Anyway, today I focus on the Solution - not the problem - and for me that is DAILY maintenance, just doing whatever it takes from taking that FIRST drink which ALWAYS gets me drunk...

Keep posting, keep reading - HUGE WELCOME!!!

Well, Mia - I know why II would drink in the morning:

A/ It was THERE.

B/ I liked drinking on an empty stomach - so I could get buzz faster!!

Sad, but True! :egad:

I have to agree with others who have suggested that you go AF for a while (starting with ONE day!!). Make small goals - after a day, go for a few more, then a week.. then 2, etc.

The main thing is to break the Pattern. I'm only on Day 10, but at least now, AL is not the first thing on my mind like it used to be!

Good luck!
