Puzzle of the day

Savy

I'm a red wine drinker and until I started trying to quit I rarely had headaches from it. Suffered more with stomach hangovers and that tired washed out feeling. I have a theory that you get immune to the type of alcohol that you drink. It's a poison and you literally build up a resistance to it. So, if a liquor drinker drinks wine you suffer even if it's exactly the same amount of alcohol/units that you usually drink in hard liquor. Whereas I stay away from vodka and can't touch whisky!

The other perculiar thing is that only wine interests me, and mainly red Australian Shiraz. When I did my 30 days AF stint there was lots of open bottles in the cabinet of hard liquor and although I desperately wanted wine (which I very sensibly had removed from the house) I had absolutely no craving what so ever to touch any of the liquor!

Good Morning Bingers!!! Wow..look at all of us and the AF days that are racking up!!! Great job everyone Today is my day 2 and I am feeling good.

Bright, I want to go through the weekend as well, but for now am concentrating on the 4 days.

Scrubbly, I haven't seen Photo yet this week. I was just thinking of that darn dancing elephant this morning. Photo ~ we need Nellie :H

Lilbit, getting through the night is tough sometimes. I try to either clean, exercise or get a mug of hot tea and curl up to watch CSI reruns in my jammies

Hello to Be, Savon, CAPA, Blutzgar (hope I got that right ) Blue, Sandy, Swans, Ronnie, Ladybird, Mica, Macca and all others. I apologize if I have forgotten anybody...not my intention.

:welcome: Jody!!! You are going to find a lot of support and encouragement here! Have you downloaded the MWO book? It is a great reference to help implement your plan to quit drinking.

Glad to have you here on the thread. Keep posting, reading and asking questions. We will all help you out!

Welcome Jody Pearl :welcome:

We're all in the same boat and supporting each other here. You are not alone! :l

Tell us a little about yourself.

Thank you very much, and I'll check the book out. Let's see, I'm 33 and have two great kids, except for my daughter who's hormones are beginning to hit hard lol. Anyway, I just really want to stop drinking but for some reason or another, haven't been able to accomplish it yet. The longest I've gone is 16 days and I was doing great. If I could get back to that point I wouldn't be stupid and pick up the bottle again.

Hiya guys!!!!

Yey, tis me from the right hand side of the pond .... and not forgetting ...inkele: !!!

I've just been having a "quiet" time at the moment - doing well with the NAL but feel that I'm in a kind of tunnel at the moment so you may not hear from me for a while whilst I sort my head out! So, sorry about that ....:upset:

Keep going everyone - you're doing great!!

PS - and for all your newcomers - this is a GREAT thread - you'll get lots of support here :l

Thanks for checking in Photo and Nellie!!! I am so glad the Nal seems to be working for you.

Well, let us know if we can help you in any way to get out of this tunnel. You know we are all here for you and cheering for you. I do understand the need for "quiet" time. Don't take too long to come back. :l

HI, EVERYONE!

It has been a good Tuesday, here, though too cold to work in the garden. Should be better tomorrow.

Good luck, everyone, and welcome, Newbies!

Jody it's nice to meet you! I've got hormonal kids too (17 and 13) and I'm going through menopause so it's a thrill around here. Ha!

Day 2. Had a rough morning with my depression. After I did some am work I felt so overwhelmed with my life I laid down on the couch and woke up 2 hours later. More lost time. I dragged my sorry a** off the couch and drank my All One with some Siberian Ginsing. Then I put on some shorts and my pedometer and took all of my sadness out on the lawn. We have a double lot so it's quite a bit of mowing.

6500+n steps later and it's done and I feel better. Not great but better.

What a great thread choppersmom. Thank you for it.

Love
Be

I love the momentum of this thread and it sounds as though we are perking along in our little spots around the world. Really hard day for me with work and I would dearly love a stiff drink. Dearly with what feels like every fiber in my being. I imagine so would everybody else here at one time or another so I am just going to file it away for now. Love and courage, Ladybird.
