Today I start over again.. anyone want to join me?

Welcome Ronnie - cos of the time difference we're probably on the same day ;-) Day 2 in the UK for me - I have managed to get out of bed (I'm also suffering nervous exhaustion at the minute due to not sleeping since bf left. This was probably made worse by the binge, which always means I don't sleep well).

This is the horrible/good day. I still feel phyiscally horrible, shaky, head pressure, dizzy, ashamed and vulnerable, but it feels good to have got in the shower and washed all the sweat away (YUK!) and I'll be making myself something decent to eat in a bit. Can't wait for days 3 and 4, where it all starts to feel even better.

I hope you guys don't mind, but I am going to continue this thread and keep on posting. When I did my 4 months I spent a lot of time on here - mostly reading but sometimes posting. I don't know why I stopped doing that, as it obviously helped. So please, do keep on telling me how you're feeling better and better as the days go by

Hi Kimberly, You are 1 day ahead of me, its 6.30pm Tuesday here. I am hoping that I will do the 30 days with no probs. as it was only two weeks ago that I completed the last 30 days, sorry to hear that your bf has left
Love ronnie xx

Kimberley- I am happy that you want to continue this thread. Since we all happen to be starting over around the same time, it seems like a good idea. Funny that we are all across the world from eachother. Isn't the internet great? Do you have any of the supplements that the book talks about? I know some about that if you want to make it a little easier on your self.

Tulipe and Ronnie- hello and thanks for posting. I hope you will stick with us. I am going to post every day that I am sober. Have not set an amount like 30 d.

We can do this, right?

Reading your posts today have cheered me up a lot. Feeling depressed. Slept alot last night but I have that "empty" feeling as my body and mind struggle to recover from all of the toxins I put into it. (A lot of beer on Sunday and no dinner)

The only thing that i am taking at the moment is Kudzu and a multivitamin. I have spent most of the day crying due to clearing up the flat that me and the bf shared. I am now here alone, so it's very difficult.

Very headachy thanks to that, but I am happy that it is all done and clean. I got rid of two bags of rubbish, and I even chucked away my spirit measure (from when I was trying to mod) and my Jack Daniels drinks coaster - haha, just want to get rid of every trace of that evil liquid from my home. And I rediscovered in my kitchen cupboard all my lovely fruit and herb teas, which I can use to wind down if I'm stressed.

I know if I get a good night's sleep I will start feeling even better- then onwards and upwards. If we are going to post every day sober Liath, this thread may never end! That's what I'm aiming for ;-)

That would be so great. I really want that for us. May I suggest that you pick up some L-glutamine for cravings in the days ahead? It really helps. I notice a difference in minutes if i take 500 mg or more. Also, see if your multi has enough B-vitamins, Calcium and Magnesium. (All are depleted by AL and part of why we feel so bad.)

I am really impressed that you are doing this after your BF leaving. When I have been in your place, I binged for days and felt sorry for myself. I have to go to work pretty soon here. This would be a distraction from my troubles had I not had to leave early yesturday because I felt so horrible. I am lucky to have this job and everything else I have in life. I am careless with all when I drink. I get sucked in, my world becomes only as big as the people that i am drinking with.

I wish I could mod but instead I need to stay home and avoid social situations where drinking is sure to be involved. I live in a place where EVERYONE seems to drink a lot so I pretty much have to avoid everything for a while. Sorry you are alone but not really with me here!!

Take care-

Liath

I have had the last three Mondays AF, but blew it last night (for no particular reason). We are flat broke till Friday payday, so it would be best for me to be AF for a couple days.

Hi Everyone
Well I am on Day 2 A/F now and I feel much better with myself now that I have decided to go A/F again.
How many days is every one else on???
I think this is going to be a great thread as we can all support each other when one of us gets down.
CS04 - dont beat yourself up just dust yourself down and start again, we are all in this together
Hope you all have a great day and be good
Love ronnie xx

Yes please everyone stick around this thread even if you mess up. I have noticed that if I start to slip and don't check myself right away then I end up falling HARD. Just think how great we will feel if we conquer this demon?

So true. If we are not posting we're probably toasted. Let's keep the thread going.

That was a good one! How is everyone today? I have to go to work but feeling good about day 3 sober. Time to plan on how to get through the weekend though. Anyone else a weekend binger? If so, get online and we will chat instead!

This week has been bad - and it is only Wednesday! Twice this week, I have been so blitzed, I don't remember going to bed. Thing is I'm not drinking any more than I usually do (oz.-wise), which means that I've either completely lost my tolerance (liver failing?) or my drop in weight has changed my tolerance. Either way, it's time to change this screwed up life. I kind of remember falling last night and I do have some sore spots so I must have. So I'm back on my vitamins that were recommended on this site and I'm taking it one day at a time. My biggest weakness is when my hubby gets a little buzz on beer and I think that I'd like to feel loose like that too. I'll follow this link and try to keep up!

Hey guys, i drank last night too. Im actually going to an AA anniversary meeting tonight which will keep me occupied until about 10pm so no drink for me until at least after that and maybe with a couple hours of socializing with AA folks i may not want to drink. Im going to keep involved in this thread to keep myself accountable

Liath:

The regret and despair after a setback are crippling. I had been doing fairly well in moderating, but overdid it last night and said some things to my spouse that I shouldn't have. Today I'm beating myself up. Trying to get past that stage and on to the renewed commitment.

You can't go back - only forward. It's scary - especially when you think you're in control. But if you're still alive, there's always room for things to improve!

Hang in there!
