Hi Stumpy....

I am still trying to figure out this posting thing....yes when I say makeout I mean just kissing, I don't remember details just that there was some kissing. I am still beating myself up, so FLIPING out of character for me. I am done with the alcohol for sure. I can't handle anymore alcohol fueled consequences. How are you doing?

Swooping back in to wish everyone a safe night in the Nest!

Fin, it only took me a few weeks after I arrived at MWO to convince myself that AF was the way I had to go. I used that time to decrease my wine intake (which had been huge). But for me, taking that leap of faith & making a firm commitment to go AF made all the difference. People just don't realize that making the commitment takes all of the pressure off you - the rest is not so bad

Wishing a good night to all!

Hi Oneredshoe, I was about to go to sleep and noticed your post. You really need to stop beating yourself up over a kiss. Since you have made the decision to quit AL, I think that is what you should concentrate on. You can do this. Stay close to this site. There is so much help and support here, I love reading other posters stories even if I don't feel like posting myself, it still helps to read.

When does your husband come home? will he be with you over the weekend?

Byrd, its day 13 and guess what? I am feeling awesome. Need to get used to these swings and recognise them for what they are. Just been reading some old posts and many had these ups and downs for up to a year. Hope it’s not like that for me.

Patrice, I am going through exactly the same phase, hang in there. I was feeling great for the first half of the day yesterday, and then a brick wall of sadness hit me out of nowhere. Couldn't focus or do my work. Today is a much better day, let’s hope that Byrds hypothesis is right, there are no two rough days in a row.

Slay, nice to see you, haven't seen any post from you in a few days. Just think in a week’s time we will be celebrating your 30 days AF!

Destiniey, nice to see you. I can totally relate to your acne problem. Last week I posted my 1st weeks AF log and reported a breakout of acne. I am not on antabuse so it is possible to be unrelated, however, may be your acne is due to chemical changes in your body rather than the drug itself?

Errrrmmmmm what did I tell you Allan, it's just a detox/rewire thing and the next day you feel a big improvement.

Hang in there

Hey Destiney - on the AB as well - and lo and behold - zIts - YAY - at my age - including the dreaded back-ne. Ugh. So glad sundress season is largely over.

Well fellow nesters Day 60 here and feeling good today.

Allan the ups and downs are part of the journey. I've had some really challenging downs, but did not want to drink per se, just knew that AL would make the pain go away for awhile. That would have only started me back on the hell ride. I am not going through this to start over again, been there, done that.

There are many posts here and haven't been able to keep up. To those struggling, keep being true to yourself and do whatever you have to to reach your goal. Let go of regrets - easier said than done, I know that one, still struggling with my last drinking episode.

We must be kind to ourselves, life is precious.

Good Morning Stumpy...

Thanks for the words of advice...I am really going to concentrate on moving forward in my life living free from the grips of alcohol as well as working on my inner happiness. It was nice to wake up hangover free...I wanted so badly to just get wasted last night because of stress and am so glad that I didn't. My husband won't be home for another month. How are you doing on this fine day?

Good morning Nesters!

I am happy to see so many winning the battle
Kicking AL out of out lives is tough but ultimately the best decision we can make for ourselves!

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Thursday!

Good morning Peeps and a happy AF Thursday to everyone! I want to thank everyone who responded to my acne crisis...ha! As I have learned I just have to realize that "this too shall pass" and if this is a side effect of AB I would rather be on it and look like a walking advertisment for Proactive than be hungover..Ha! I go to my doctor at the end of the month for my checkup so I will find out of it is the AB or just my body adjusting to being AF. Either way I am just happy to be sober!!!!!

Hi Fin.....thanks for the encouraging words. Dont be too hard on yourself for caving after 14 days..I caved and started back on day 1 soooooo many times that I lost count! This is definitley a learning experience and I am glad you are continuing to post on here...the support and the people on here are AWESOME!

Lolab.....thanks for that link. That was so sweet of you to look it up and post it!

Prairie ,Allan and K9....Ok, so we are not alone in this acne war.....hmmmm..I wonder what else the damned beast has up his sleeve to try to get us to go back to drinking! LOLOLOLOL Oh well..I am armed with AB in one hand and zit creme in the other! Ha! If anyone finds anything that works...let me know!!!!!
