I'm sleeping real well, Peanut, but I'm taking melatonin. Have you tried that? Congrats!

Great, LO, sounds like you're going for more! Do you have a new goal in mind?

Be, right now my goal is to get through today! Finding Day 5 hard, been arguing with myself all the way home again ... Coming home to an empty house, particularly when I know others aren't, is v tough.

Day 4 almost done

Cripes--Day 4 AND a Thursday night? My big drinking night while hubby is out. Usually I have my first vodka by now but thankfully a meeting tonight that will run late....

Really a bad week, too, but hubs bought me flowers and a cool "bad times will pass" card.

Love to all and stay strong

I understand, LO, completely. Do you have plans for tonight to take your mind off things?

What a nice HB, UNG! Sometimes meetings do come in handy...

UNG, day 5 and a Thursday night for me - Thursday always used to be my "end of the week drink" night because I didn't work on Fridays. This is the first Thursday since before Christmas that I haven't had a drink, I'm ashamed to admit.

Be, I'm eating Japanese rice crackers by the ton, I have some grape juice (non AL), and I'm going to make a plan for my veg garden then hav an early night.

Hey all, how's it going...didn't make it past last night....the party was too much...and I drank....sorry....af just doesn't work for me....

Hope you're all staying strong! I'm sure that you felt better all day than I did! This morning SUCKED and I am still feeling hungover.

Staying in tonight. Back out to another social gathering tomorrow night. I am going to promise that I am not going to have more than 3 drinks all night tomorrow night. That's my goal for the weekend. Then the rest of the weekend I work overnight shifts so no drinking then.

This has just been a very hard week to be af for me...too many things going on!

All,

I did it!!! Day 4 and I feel good. I went to dinner with my sister who makes me feel like drinking, but I didn't. The great thing now is the corner wine supplier is closed.

Yahoo.

Going for Day 5

Hi gang - almost bed time. Phew. Been arguing with my self since this afternoon. I have been so tired, and hungry too, which just makes me want to drown in wine. I didn't do it though, and it is almost time to crawl into bed and TRY to get some sleep. I will try the calmes fortes plus valerian. I have melatonin, but find it doesn't do much for me. I only have 1.5 of the little blue sleeping pills my friend gave me, and I need to keep those for emergencies (ie. hotel rooms), just in case.

So good going all of you who have made it on our little journey - not so easy, but we've done it.
Dove, don't worry about it, I think we are all always on the verge of slipping up. It was one hour at a time for me today!!!

Rest well everyone!

Providence and Peanut, yay!!! We did it! Have you got a new target in mind? Think I'm just going to ODAT to see if I can get beyond 7

Dove, like Peanut says, don't worry, just hop back up here with us when you feel like it. Good luck with sticking to limits at the party - stay strong!

Be, day 6 for me today - am over the day 5 hump, but boy was it hard.

UNG, cke, christy, how are you all doing?

Hope you're all feeling good - its sunny and frosty here, far too nice to be going to work, but I might see if I can get out early, as it's Friday. Have a good day, everyone

Hey Everybody!

LO, Providence, Peanut here we are! Day 5 here. I don't have a new target...wait, yes I do. To get rid of these friggin' cramps! No, seriously, I don't. I'm a modder and am on topa and will continue to take it ODAT. I find, as a modder, that having stretches of AF days helps me tremendously. My last one was 7 days. I don't drink much during "this time of the month" as it just bloats me and makes me feel worse anyway so what's the point?

Day 3 was the worse for me but it always is. Great job on the Day 6, LO. I'm feeling great, how about you guys? It's gray outside, damp, but will be in the 40's! I have a huge community service project to do today and will be gone most of the day but I'm looking forward to it - a lot of walking.

Take care everybody!

Yay - success!! I finally made 4 days.
I can hardly believe I made it though yesterday with the whispering devil on my shoulder!!! At one point, I looked up and said - wow - I wonder if that wine is ready to drink?!?! I have a 23L carboy of white wine sitting in my kitchen. Why on earth I did that, i will never know. It was a kit I purchased last spring and never made and my son wanted to get it going in January. So, now what?!?! Maybe I will bottle it and give a whack of it away to friends. Funny, but there can be beer (but don't get me wrong, I like beer too!), booze, anything in my house and it doesn't bother me - it's just wine that causes me issues!!

Be - hope you feel better. I'm in the same shape with the cramps, but that 5HTP I've been taking I think has really helped with that - far less severe than they were!
Providence - feeling pretty good, eh? Best to you on day 5... and 6... and 7.....
LO - new target? I'm unsure yet. ODAT for me too I think. Are you going for 7 days??
Dove - i hope you meet your modding target tonight. I have to go out for a bit too - I will try to drink soda and lime and avoid wine - it's really expensive to buy in the bars anyway. I have actually learned to take small sips of wine when out the past 8 months since joining MWO. Before I would drink like 2 glasses to other peoples 1 drink, so now I try to drink more like the "normal" people when I'm out in public. It's my at home drinking that's the trouble!!!

OK - back to work. TGIF everyone!

Peanut, I'm the same, its the at home drinking that's the problem for me. When I'm out, I just drink a couple of drinks with other people, although the last three times I've been out, I haven't had a drink at all.

I think I'm just going to take it easy, ODAT, and see how it goes. Don't want to scare myself with a big target then get down in the dumps if I fail. ODAT is really suiting me at the moment. My longer term aim is modding, but these two spells of 3AF + 5AF have been really good.

Be, yep, I'm the same, if I drink at "that" time I feel horrendous! Really mega hangover, no matter how much or little I've had to drink.
