Another 4 Day AF BINGE!

Hi tried to post this earlier but it didnt seem to make it!!! still learning how to use forums!

Anyway , I joined up last week & managed 4 days AF without too much trouble......I was determined not to drink at all until my birthday ( this Friday ) but somehow when I was down the supermarket on Friday 2 bottles or red wine found themselves in my trolley & that was Friday gone.

Felt a bit of an idiot but then I read your 4 day AF binge thread & decided maybe I need to learn to walk before I start trying to run .....so here I am up for the 4 day binge .

Good luck to all & thanks for being there

incidentally , I cant work out how you get the smiley placards on you postings ....anyone got a simple explanation for the forum novices??!!

Good job, everyone!

Ronnie, you are so right about the TV watching trigger. I bet it's a trigger for a lot pf people because A) it's a passive activity, and B) TV is geared toward making the watcher want to consume, consume, consume everything from food to diet pills to sleep number beds (at least it is in the US). I am much more peaceful without it. For what it's worth, maybe as a substitute, Baroque classical music has been proven to help people learn and establish new brain wave patterns.

Feelin' pretty good

Today is day 13 of no drinking at all. I am feelin' pretty good...the first few days were tricky, I noticed a rapid pulse and irritability, and since have done ok. Actually, today I felt so good that I thought of having a drink...just one of course.

But....for me....I don't think it is a good idea. I was able to moderate my drinking the most of the time, but every now and then I wouldn't. The next day I would feel pretty crummy, but worst of all I would really be down on myself. Speaking of down, of my major concern about drinking was depression. My natural tendency toward melancholia was really magnified by drinking. I certainly could get happy and light-hearted, especially the first glass or two, but after that, look out. And the blues were there on the days I didn't drink. I am hopeful that going AF will help my mood over the long term.
Has anybody else?
Good luck and best to everyone in this struggle we have all been at for far too long!

I'm aiming for moderation also. I've been practicing not to have any drinks before I get together with others, never drink alone and to stop at three drinks and no more than three drinking days per week. Keep up the good work. I love having this site.
