Made it through Day 1

[Red]

Well, I did it...
I wasn't very hopeful when I woke up this morning. But Day 1 AF is at a close. I feel pretty good! It was really tough and actually sad for me. Feels like I've lost my best friend. Had dinner at a friend's house and she actually poured me a glass of wine. It sat just inches from my hands and I didn't touch it. I also ordered some meds/supplements. So, thanks to all of you that gave me some much-needed advice. By the way, whomever suggested I put lemon in my ice water to curb cravings was a genius!!

Red,
I have just finished day 2, as have Step in Time and Blanchie Boo. So let's all stick together! BTW, there is a good thread from awhile back called "Lemon Water -- who knew" that you might enjoy -- lemon is supposed to be good for the liver as well.

Congrats and stay warm!

Hey you are awsome!! Not touching that Glass of Wine right in front of you shows a lot of strength and desire to keep this going. I have found that I need to keep doing my normal social stuff so I don't grieve the loss!!! Like you said, it seems sad... but its mostly because that has been our focus. NO MORE
AF day 16 for me... still cravings but a little less than before.

Great stuff Red. Just making the decision and doing 1 day AF is the best start ever...and a tough one too if you dared socialise on the first day too.

I'm heavily into Tonic & Lime or Soda & Lime at the moment.....almost a bottle a night!!!

Awesome

Red,
You are a legend. I am about to attempt AF just for one night tomorrow after about 25 years of full on abuse.
The husband is getting the soda and lemons and although I'm excited, I'm terrified too.
You and Mia 67 are:thanks: a wonderful inspiration for me. Thank you.

Great to see all of the effort here to stop drinking. That helps the cravings in itsself! Always try and have a full stomach is important i find too. Fill your tummy with food, and it doesnt need the booze!
Good luck to everyone. Im fighting with you all. x

Hey, Red and Tinkerbell

Yesterday was my Day One also---so we are starting over together. Let's keep in touch and beat this thing! It is nice to wake up, see the sun shine (on the freaking foot of snow) and not have a hangover. :goodjob:
