30 Days Anyone?

Woosh, Rustop, OverIt, Ragdoll,
Hello all!!! Today is day 4!!! Not much of a challenge tonight. Will be spending most of the evening with my daughter on the softball field. Tomorrow will be my first real temptation and I will deal with that then. For now I am going to put a 0 in my drinktracker for today even though it is 730 in the morning. I find that I will tell myself . . No, you can't slip. You have already recorded in the drinktracker!! What a head case I am!!!
How are you all?
Hang in there the weekend is at hand!

Hey Gang, Day 1. Yup, slipped. I know this may sound weird, but yesterdays slip was different from other times. I actually only had a tiny craving, I feel I could have said no, If I had really wanted to. Im taking the supps and they do work! Im using it as a learning experience, I really am. I posted somewhere that I think I did it because thats just what I am used to. I know I need to change that. Evergreen, you are not a head case. When I used to do drink tracker, I would do the same thing. That way I would have to go back to change it, so why bother with drinking then.

Hey Overit....Day 1 again for me too. So let's do it together. I have tried the supps, they don't seem to work for me. So far nothing seems to work. When do you take your supps?

Really? Oh Im sorry to hear that, but at least you know you are not alone!


Um... I am just kinda winging it with the supps. I take a L-Glutamine capsule and two kudco pills first thing in the morning, and try to repeat that later on in the day. It says to take inbetween meals, so on an empty stomach.

Brightlite, I really do think they work, but of course, you have to practice willpower too. This slip honestly was different. Even when I was drinking, I was not "craving" it like other times. I think that is a good sign, or maybe I just felt so damn guilty doing it? Hmmm not sure.. Im not feeling hungover today, thank God.

I think we all deserve a pat on the back just for being here and trying. the weekends all always hard for me but hope to stay strong. I know what you mean about the head games we play Evergeen but hey if it works who cares.

:thanks:

Thanks so much, Evergreen (and everyone) for letting me join in. Day 5 AF -- whoopee -- and the anxiety and general ugh-i-ness are subsiding. After a weird hibernation of constant sleeping and eating everything in sight, I feel great. That's kinda scary because it's Friday with the weekend looming ahead. My plan is to stay busy-busy-busy.

Evergreen, I totally agree with putting the 0 in your drinktracker. 'Never tried it with this, but I've done it with counting calories and it seems to work.

OverIt, it's encouraging that your slip wasn't due to a craving! That's a good sign.

Ceprise, I hope you're feeling OK, and that it feels good for you to be home from the hospital and back in your own bed.

Hi 30 Day Crew,

It is Saturday and the winds threaten to blow us out of formation!!

I have been busy all day which tends to drive the thoughts away but we are going out to dinner tonight. Will not be tempted to overimbibe but will be tempted to mod. Plan is to stick with tea or diet coke!!! Don't want to stick my toe over that ledge.

Hang in there all!!!!

Good luck with your dinner out, Evergreen. Good plan! On a side note, we went out for sushi today, and I was amazed at how much smaller the bill was with only an iced tea instead of the usual three chardonnays (plus the bottle I'm sure I'd have picked up on the way home). Just imagine how much richer we'll all be if we can stick with this!

Hi 30 dayers!!

I am back to day one again . . . . . .UGH!!!!!!! My toe went over the edge at dinner Saturday night and then Mother's day I dove right in!! Hardest thing was to get on the posts this morning. Need to get to word but figured if I did not post I would be away again for quite a while!! Sorry to let the flock down but flapping hard to get back in formation. Going back to change my drink tracker. Monday is dawning bright and clear. Restarting!!!!!!

Evergreen

PS Lilbit - love your picture (also liked the story about your name!) I agree it is amazing how much money this obsession wastes!!!!!!!

Hi everyone

Have been very busy so have not got to post a lot. Well done Evergreen for having the courage to come back, I know from experience how easy it is to stay away. I have actually stopped counting days, I was obsessing and driving myself crazy. Now I set myself small goals and take it from there.

Beautiful sunny day here so need to get out in the garden and get something done.

Welcome back, Evergreen. You set a wonderful example for being brave & honest, and getting back into "formation" that I'm sure I'll need to follow at some point. So, thank you!!!

:thanks:

Evergreen, thank you for your honesty and not just "ditching" us, LOL. It takes alot of strength and courage to fight this battle, and its good to know we do not have to do it alone. We stumble, and fall, and get back up. Nice thing to know is we are here for one another.
