          Day Two Too (again)

          I am still here! And strangely more confident than ever. No cravings yesterday and feeling just done with it. Just done and ready to start living my life. I think I almost needed Sunday to occur just as a reality check. I really think that the "cravings" I have been having really have been anxiety. And I have been just self medicating for a very long time. Well that is done. Gonna find another outlet. There was another thread that I think Katie started about control freaks and AL -- and that is me! So I am learning and accepting a bit more day by day here.
          Got a blue sky here in MI which is matching my hopeful mood, and if I wasn't fighting a migraine I'd be pretty damn chipper! LOL
          I am getting close to the point that I am ready to pick up the phone and call my Dad and tell him everything. I have been hiding it from him for a long time -- but I am pretty sure he has figured it out in the last year or so....he used to say - " 'Violet' --how is it in a family full of drunks you are the only one who made it out ok?" That always hurt so bad deep inside...always felt like I was lying to him. He has been sober since I was 11. So I am getting there. I know I will be there when I can make that phone call.

          Hope you all are having a happy AF day and Thank you all for the continued, amazing support! You are all incredible! :thanks:

          Hi Violet - I am once again on Day 2 as well. I feel great today and resolved as you seem to be as well. Good luck -- We can do it! Coco

                      Hippy Chick, I admire your strength.
                      Have you ever tried Chamomile Tea? Make sure you ckeck for drug interactions (because of your supplements) but it really does calm you down.

                          Morning all,
                          Feeling pretty good this morning.. Day 3 AF.. I bought a lottery ticket for the first time today! (in Australia).. i have decided you have to be "in it to win it".. i know the chances are slim, but what the heck! someone's got to win! it would be amazing to win even a smallish amount so I can make a better life for me and my little boy..
                          I hope everyone is doing well..
                          Katie xx

                                Going to do this!!!

                                Hey folks. Booze has slowly been destroying my life over the past 3 to 4 years tho I have been drinking heavy long before that. It's just now really becoming a problem and I feel destroying my health and life. I don't have to drink every night, I actually can't. I drink one night then feel so crappy the next day I won't touch the stuff. Its only a matter of time after that tho, when I start feeling well and begin thinking its a great idea to get smashed. Rinse and repeat.

                                I know that I can quit drinking I just have never really wanted to. All of us can if we really want to. Now it's finally my time I believe. I really want to do this. Does anyone know of anyways to curb the cravings when they come around. I do not have any physical symptoms of withdrawl, but I know mentally I will start breaking myself down. Any help and advice is much appreciated and I am more than happy to support where I can as well. Just give me a shout.

                                I look forward to doing this with you guys and gals. We can do this.
