Well its day 16 for me, 7.30am in the morning having a Coffee before getting ready for the day, have to take my son to the fracture clinic as fractured his fingers at Karate last Thursday, hes just going for a check up, goodness knows how long we will be sat there for waiting to be seen. Very tired with the lack of AL, sleep is very difficult at night time, went out yesterday and bought a new bed, and they are not cheap, ?700.00, but hey ive saved a lot of money by not drinking so thats my reward. Took a while for my head to focus and get my concetration back, thankfully all tickity boo now. Lets just say, i dont miss the morning hangover in the least, worst feeling in the world, and im hanging onto that memory so as when i get the many craveings for that chilled glass of wine its only momentarily. Fingers crossed i can continue this journey, because i sooooo like being sober, alert, and a MUM. So hope all of you are doing well, and i think of you often, also i pop in every day to have a read on here which helps me enormously. xx

Morning Lucy & Starty
Looks like we're all having our morning hit of caffeine and logging in here - great isn't it. Well done Lucy like you i'm early days 22 infact & i can relate to everything you said, and what i spotted in particular was how you described your drug of choice "that chilled glass of wine". I do the same thing glamourising it try thinking of it as that luke warm one with yesterdays lipstick stains around the edge!!! as soon as we make it out to be glamorous we forget the shit that it left for us!!! - just a thought good luck & i hope you enjoy your new bed. xxxxxxComment

Vogue, gosh how true is that, the warm left over glass of wine from the night b4 that would have been finished off had not fallen into an Alcohol fueled sleep, rimm stained with lippy smears, glass dirty, and yes, finishing it off when awake in the morning, just to crave more chilled wine, which just have to be bought from the local store that opens early for us drinkers to get our fix of Alcohol, just to come back home and open as quick as poss, to waste another day drinking, head throbbing, feeling the gagging sensations b4 the Al hits into our bloodstream... Nice NOT. Been there many occassions.Comment

starta, day 5 is so positive, not easy is it!!!!. I thank the day i found this site, knowing im not alone in my journey and relate to almost everything written on here, it gives me added strength to fulfill my goal on staying sober, and not having that first sip which will 100% lead to me getting drunk for days on end.Comment

Well its day 2 for me as yet i slipped again over the weekend. I have been there with the wine too my drug of choice. Often fell asleep and woke up to warm wine with the lippy stains and finished it an whatever else was left if any in the bottle. Then goin out for more. The madness of it all. I hope to do better and stay of the wagon long as possibe i've had enough. Just having another coffee and then time 2 do more chores. Have a good day everyone.Comment

Good job, LucyF! I loved your (and Vogue's) description of the yukky warm glass of wine. What a great deterrent! May I add that the yukky, warm glass of wine also has greasy fingerprints from the bag of cheese puffs devoured with it because -- at the time -- they went so well together?

Hi all, this is my first post. It has taken me a quite a while to get this far. I purchased the book nearly a year ago, read it through and checked out this site. I was impressed I can tell you. Having been drinking daily for many years and realising I had a big problem and I tried to quit but think it was half hearted to be honest. Managed 3 days. That was last year and here I am trying again but properly this time with new reserve.
Am on AF day 8 and its been going ok. Thanks for listening.
