Hey Tip - CONGRATs on 7 AF days!
Post here by all means. I have to be the oldest newbie ever :H :H

FYI-
Itching skin can be a symptom of detox but that usually occurs in someone with significant liver damage allow with the yellow skin & eyes (I saw a lot of this during my nursing years). The best thing to do is to have your enzymes checked by a simple blood test. Drinking lots of H2O & taking milk thistle is a good idea.
If your liver checks out OK, take a look at an herbal supplement I use for sleep MELLODYN | Natural Sleep Remedy | Herbal Insomnia Cure
I also take a couple of Benadryl too. Years of crappy sleep D/T allergies, hormone fluctuations, depression & anxiety led me to consuming large amounts of wine in the evening ~ not good!

Great to see newbies making progress today

Hi Everybody!

Wow..busy Nest! Glad to see everyone here! Hi Tipps and Star! Fin, good job on getting to day 2...now get through today and you'll be through the hardest part. I had a CRAZY day yesterday. One of the ladies in the cleaning crew had a seizure right outside my cubicle, so I was "first on scene". I learned that I am not cut out to work in the medical field. It kept me up last night, thinking about it. Then my nephew (some of you know that my oldest nephew moved in with me about 6 months ago) came bursting into my room at 1am thinking something was wrong internally. He was half asleep. Turned out it was only a cramp, but he was freaking out. I thought "Good Lord will this day never end??" I never craved alcohol, but I would have given my right arm for a cigarette!!!

Anyway....the Nest is for EVERYONE...newbies, oldbies and medium-bies (new word...lol) So everyone glue, tape, paste, velcro or staple your butts in! Stick around, this place is awesome.

K9, how I wish I could quit the cigs, I'm having enough trouble with the AF crap. I hope it gets better soon. At some point in the near future I want to be NF as well. You are doing so well with it, did you take anything to help with the quit?

Hi Stumpy!
Your hair is looking maahvelous as always! I didn't take anything to quit smoking, I just used my stubborness for good instead of evil this time. LOL Seriously, I just got to the point where I HATE cigs as much as I hate alcohol. I admit I've had a few rough moments, but they pass...you know how I say that craving for alcohol will never last as long as a hangover? Same for cigs, a craving will never last as long as it would take to smoke one...that's how fast they pass...eventually. You'll get there, when YOU are ready..believe me, nobody could have forced me to do it!

LOL - @ K-9 and Stumpy - yesterday one of my Facebook Friends demanded I give up Caffeine because I had become a spaz.

I had to PM him and say look buckwheat - I gave up white flour, I gave up processed sugar, and now I've given up drinking. The one vice I got left is diet pepsi and coffee with splenda in it. You touch those - I'll kill you.

Capeche?

His next comment was I'm pretty sure if I ask the SO - you got other vices left. :k

I only do boats in the water and usually a lot of beers afterwards. Probably best that I stay away from the water for awhile. Let's run instead.

Just woke up to Day 7! Can I get my moon now, or do I have to wait until tonight, when I've officially made it through the whole day?
