Evening all,
Doing well today....made all my appointments and the gym too..sleeping better too...
I think the CD's are helping a lot..
I love my doggies but I really hate to find the pee puddles with my bare feet..
Glad we went to hard surface floors...much easier to clean...

Hi Bellegirl - thanks for checking in and letting us know that you're ok...:l

Blondie - I've thought of you often and I knew that you would not stay away forever...I know deep down you want this - so have been watching for you and wishing you well in my thoughts.

I'm going to sleep and I hope when Mr. Sandman visits tonight he takes this effin head cold with him. I'm sick of it.

Shout out to all the Nesters

Evening, Nesters. So many new friends to acknowledge, and sages to thank, I don't know where to start. The advice and encouragement is incredible from all sides. Kuya, thank you in particular for the scientific explanations you have been adding of late. I can really relate to the idea that my body is shifting from hybrid chemistry to food only. And that I made it adapt to the foreign chemical in the first place! Gives me more patience to get through these days.

Anyway, another shout out. Fin, Day 14. I know it's unofficial, but here are two moon from your buddy Cat.

:moon::moon:

And RC, I know Byrdie will do the formal honors, but I found this just for you:

good morning one and all! day 2 of AF and feeling good. kids were in at around 5am this morning to climb into our bed, i was saying to my husband last night that who were we fooling thinking we could have a bottle of wine and then get 5 hours sleep and function normally. i am starting to accept that change has to happen and am so ready for it, i think my pending 40th on thursday has really made me draw a line in the sand and made me want to change my behaviours! i am in the process of starting a new business and have a meeting with my design team this morning and am so glad that i can like you said FIN look them squarely in the eye and know i am myself and not paranoid - yesterday i was feeling like crap today is a great day and i intend to have more of the same - best of luck everyone today - i will be thinking of you all - i am so glad i found this site it really is helping me, i feel like i have made all these new friends who have nothing but my best interests at heart so thank you!:h

He Everyone,
Just checking in before bedtime. Day 1 (the 15th) is now officially over and I'm glad to report that I did not drink today. I had a little shakiness this morning, but overall, I am feeling pretty good and did not have any cravings today, and none of the horrible all-day mental struggles I've been fighting with for days. It was a pretty easy day, and I just feel grateful I didn't drink or even have to struggle with it. Don't know what changed, but I'm so grateful. Hope all the other day ones: paulywogg, alcoholic, iama, odat......(hitting 40 on day 2, and how are you doing merlot?) are doing ok and will check in on the newbiew roll call in the morning. Pleasant dreams everyone. And thanks to everyone else who is on here supporting us and being there for us. Many, many thanks. Bless you all.

Hitting 40:

Good luck today! I'm also on my day 2... Haven't had that in years. I know it's just the first step seeing many of us starting day 1 many times. But having many day 1s is much better than not having any at all: that's at least one day less of poison to our liver, right?

Good luck to all of us attempting our second day. I'm going out to dinner w a wine drinking friend so I must use extreme caution today.

Hitting 40, the best thing about it is that it gets better and better the more time passes. I love that I don’t have to mask the smell of alcohol with cologne, from the night before, the feeling of anxiety (like going through an interview is not stressful enough).
