The Weekend Thread for Binge Drinkers 21-24 May
Hi All...
I am starting my 11th day AF and facing the holiday weekend. Last night I had my first desire to have a beer/some wine and surfed the cravings. They passed and I stayed on track. Thank goodness for lemons and water!
I am feeling so much better physically without the alcohol. My body is hydrated from all the water I am drinking....my skin is clearer...my eyes brighter. My sleep is still being disturbed by hot flashes that wake me up and I am simply dealing with that. I know it will pass....my body is cleansing itself. I am on natural hormone cream in case it is hormones however I think it is more alcohol related. I am still off the coffee, too, and sticking to a clean diet for the most part. I do treat myself to small amounts of vanilla ice cream at night if I want it. ~smile~ Many nights I simply prefer to eat fruit.
This site continues to inspire me greatly. Thanks so much for all the amazing info and support I find here! Ya'll are the best! I am thrilled to be alcohol free for this long and looking forward to MORE!
Have a great day!
Namaste,
Kathryn

Hi Everyone! I am on day 7 AF and feel ok except for a bit of dizziness. Don't know what that is about. Not many cravings, but sooooo moody! Damn alcohol. Guess you don't ralize how much you actual were drinking till your body freaks out! I am ready for a busy AF weekend - really need to watch the triggers. Two parties, bbqs etc. I told my husband I am the designated driver all weekend so I know I will not drink when I go anywhere. I never drink even one sip if I need to drive - even at my worst I abided by that rule. Weird! Anyway, great weekend to you all and I will most likely be on here a few times this weekend!

Hello everyone and thanks again to Ezzmae.
:thanks:
I did really well last weekend with the help of all of you on this thread, so hopefully I can do it again this weekend. I think it will be a bit harder this time because it's raining really heavily and I have a back problem that limits my movements, so it's a bit of a challenge to keep busy and take my mind off things. I'm armed with a good book and dvd's and some recipes I want to try, but they're all things that I normally accompany with a glass of wine or three.
I'll pop back in later to see how you're all going. Good luck and I hope you all enjoy your lovely AF weekend.

Hi, everyone! Third weekend AF for me, too. Thank you, each one of you, for all the lovely posts and great threads. It is truly a delight to come on line and know that support will be here.
I'm traveling this weekend, so won't be on line again for awhile. You are in my thoughts! Take care of yourselves.

Hi guys, weekend number two for me also. Sat morning here and got a few cravings last night which I probably expected seeing as friday was always the start of heavier drinking for me but came through it ok. This place really is a Godsend. Planning on keeping very busy for the rest of the weekend and that should help.
KTABEthanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

'Night all
It's 9pm Saturday night and I've had my cocoa. Now I'm off to bed to read the latest John Grisham novel.
Sleep tight everyone.

Way to go Ronnie! Well done on beating back those urges and keeping the side up. Sat evening here just having a quiet night in with the family and some easy watching tv. Feeling a lot better than last night, trust you will too tomorrow. 24 hours away from two weeks, for me I really didnt think it was possible.
Hi all, its pretty quiet on here tonight where is everyone?
