Hi all, newbie here... evening binger, 4 days off. I'm highly irritable. I ordered the starter pack ~ I'm in Oz ~ and anxiously awaiting its arrival.. I'm getting itchy for some help. I don't have support around me and feel like I need some. Hoping I can get it here.

HI Spirited,

Have you had a look at the Underoos and Friends thread? We are all in Oz and New Zealand so in your time zone. Come on over and introduce yourself, you will be made most welcome. In the meantime, while you are waiting for your supps from this site, have you got any B vitamins at home? If so get started on them right away, and vitamin C (large doses - around 6,000mg for the first month). Drinks heaps of water and lemon, and plan to rest and take it easy. Stay on the boards and read, post when you are struggling and even when you arent, this is a great place, with a lot of wonderful people...all on the same journey that you are. Strength and Grace Saff

Spirited Oliver:welcome: - I saw you also on another thread - good that you're posting in multiple spots. Good to have you aboard.

I too started with the supplements, healthy diet, and exercise. I read tons of addiction-related books and stay on this site as much as I can. Read, read read - tons of good stuff here but it's spread throughout, so just explore. Oh, drink lots of water with lemon and L-glutamine is good for cravings too.

Hi Spirited Oliver and welcome to the nest. Great job on your four days, well done! Like Choochie says there is a lot of support and valuable information here to help you through. :welcome:

Hi Hillside, Choochie, Madmans, great to see you all here.

Fighting a cold and it is freezing here but dealing with it as best I can and NOT using it as an excuse to have a 'wee brandy to heat me up' or a 'hot toddie' like I used too!

I hope you all have a great day, and if any of you are in the US, a great Thanksgiving! :l

Good morning Nesters - bumping up the thread for you

Good Morning Everyone,

Lav, thanks for bumping.

Proud to say that I did not drink yesterday (not that I thought I would). It's just that I had dinner at my sisters - everyone else drank, but I didn't. And, I'm really happy for that today. It is sooooooooooo worth it.

Hope you all had a good day and that you'll have another AF today!!

Hugs,
Choochie:l
