Welcome Tara!
Have you read the book "My Way Out"? I highly recommend it, to help you understand the options available with regards to suppliements, meds and exercise and diet.
Stick around -- keep reading, keep posting.
Strength to you!

:welcome: Congratulations and best of luck on your first day. Drink a lot of water today with fresh lemon squeezed in it and keep full with lots of little healthy meals and snacks. And get some exercise! Look at the toolbox thread in monthly abstinance. You'll find lots of coping suggestions there. I look forward to your success!

Hey Tara,

One day at a time has worked for me for many months. You can do this today. Think of it as a present for yourself.

Love,

Welcome Tara.

One Day at a Time, One Hour at a Time, whatever it takes. I used to promise myself a drink the following day if I could just go today AF. Then the next day I promised myself the same thing and so on. It worked for me.

Welcome!!!! We are all your friends and have been where you are. Lots of water with lemon works great and its great for your body too. When i get AF days i try to take lots of vitamins and drink lots of water with lemon. One day at a time is the best way to go about it

That's brilliant Tara.
Have you got a plan for the weekend. Try and not dwell on thoughts of alcohol. It's bloody hard but get yourself busy and try and enjoy yourself.

Welcome Tara and as Pan-icked rightly say one Day At A Time...One Hour or even less.

Don't even think of tomorrow.

Yesterday's history..Tomorrows a mystery....Keep it in the day and you will be fine Tara.


Take good care and keep the faith.

Tara,

Good job!
About the weekend - change your normal routine - it helps. Put yourself in non-drinking places with non-drinking people, etc. I found distraction to be an amazingly effective tool in th eearly days.

You can do this
