Good Morning,

I too am on Day One. It is nice to hear that someone else is starting today. I wish you and your hubby success. My husband drinks as much as I do, but refuses to see it as a problem. I'm hopeful for him yet.

Take care and best of luck. Keep smiling!

Hey Petal - wishing you and your hubby the best for Day 1!!! As far as taking the kudzu goes, depends on where you got it from. If it's from this site, it recommends 3 times a day. Plus I find it easier to take with food, doesn't go down to well for me otherwise.

Amazing you get Very Inspired to quit drinking when you have a hangover!

Starting on Day 2 - feeling more motivated. I'm also quitting smoking April 1 (cost is going WAY up - again! - for one thing). I know from experience that quitting smoking will be much more difficult for me than quitting drinking...

Good luck to you & your husband! You can motivate each other - that will help a LOT!!

PS - and you, too, Rise!!

Morning all! Good on ya, petal. I'm back on day #1, again, also. Gotta get my mind around and actually HATE AF weekends but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Took my multi-vitamin, kudzu and the l-glut. Feeling pretty good and will feel all that much better tomorrow morning!

I thought I was the queen of relapse. Today is Day One...again. Today, also, my husband and I close up our apt. and move aboard our sailboat. No booze on board. Am hoping the simplicity and peacefulness of living aboard will help me focus on staying sober, and remove the temptation to pick up and drown myself in drink. We'll see...

hubby still wants to have a drink at weekends but i'm not sure i wouldn't fall back in the trap(not that i'm out of it bordering panic attacks only on day 1,not good)and drinking to excess'i no my panic and being anxious comes from drinking'just got to us mind in a possitive way.

Petal, wlecome to you. I am on technically day 2...yesterday was hangover day for me. I wish you and your husband the best of luck. I believe that you can do it. I am also a smoker...mostly when I drink. I am laying off the alcohol to start, and the rest will fall into place. Yes, we must do this for our kids especially! Take care...tomorrow will be a better day followed by many more.

i popped a kudzu (500 mg) whenever i felt a craving...that did the trick with 1000 mg l-glutamine 2x daily.

good for you!
