Morning everyone,
I have had a couple of bad days and finding myself retreating into my own world. I know intellectually, if I don't reach out to others during this time, I won't succeed living a AF life. So I'am going to try my best to change that. Ok, enough of my sad fiddle. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and I will be back later to catch up.

Byrdlady - I'm glad that you decided to write again. :l I know that we all have been there. That is why we all are here. I went thru exactly what you are going thru. Just hang on. Work on a day at a time. Have you tried the L-Glutamine powder and the Kudzu? That really, really helps. Please keep posting.

Excuses - Glad to see you back again too! I know exactly how you feel!! Exactly!! Good for you for coming back here. Here's to Day 1. Let's do this. We are all here to lend a hand so pull up a twig and settle in.:l

Breakfast in Bed for Nora

Sorry you are feeling poorly. I didn't realize - I've run down to Panerra and there are bagels and coffee for everyone at my end of the nest. I'll be over shortly with a nice warm poppyseed bagel with cream cheese and coffee for you, ducks. Feel better soon!

Hey Island Girlie - Welcome :welcome: So, glad to have you join the nest.
Oh yes!! Many, many people have been very successful without the meds!! They use the supplements or the hypnotherapy cd's and supplements.
Excellent start - 2 days AF.
Pull up a twig and get comfy. This is a great place to be.

Hi Islandgirlie;
I'm pretty new, too. I just ordered the MWO book yesterday, so I've yet to read it. I'm not on any meds, but when I was in chat the other evening, there were some folks there who were successful without meds. I know other sober people who did not take meds to quit, so yes, it's possible. Glad to see you up here in the nest! :welcome:

I just wanted to say...last night was my third night without alcohol. It was easier than the previous nights. Today, I'm almost afraid to say it, but I am seeing a bit of the old me. The me who could live without A, and still enjoy life. It seems like such a long time since I've seen her! Has anyone else experienced something like this? Like you're getting your (good) old self back?

Hi All
Thanks for all your 'welcome backs'! Yes I had a wonderful holiday, was nervous about it as it would be my first hol without alcohol probably since I was about 16 and booze used to be a huge part of the time.
Anyway was amazed how many places I used to drink - and that was just in Dublin Airport, it was like a little wrench each bar I passed but hubby was wonderful, once he realised that I had no intention of as he put it 'just going to have one cos I'm on holiday', he was so supportive and even when I was a little (?) bit irritable he was ok and understood.
As the days went by it got easier and easier, and I relaxed into really enjoying myself, yeah the nights were boring, besides eating what DO you do? but again hubby had no prob with having a nice meal, he had his couple of glasses of wine and going back to hotel and reading on balcony for an hour or two Anyway sorry for going on but if I can have a sober holiday anyone in the whole wide world can, I was the one who used to sneak to the supermarket and hide the empty bottles of vodka in every hideyhole I could find.
Great to read all your posts, and yes Fennel, I know exactly what you mean about getting your old self back!!
Welcome Islandgirlie, like you I hate taking meds of any description, I did take some stuff when I started on this road but I know I could have done it without so go for it if it feels right.
Sorry you're not well NoraC mind yourself
