Tawny - Today is a new day! That's the way we have to look at it...

I made it thru yesterday, so today is Day 4. Days 3-4 are the ones where I have lost it... often... in the past. NOT trying to set myself up for failure!

I know that if I make it to 7 days... I will get stronger. Hmmm. Shouldn't say "IF"!!

Gotta keep busy. Keep my eye on the goal. I need to keep reminding myself how my whole mental attitude will change for the better the longer I go...

Have a good Sat., everyone!

7 DAY THREAD

I want to try 7 days. I've never made it before. The most I've been successful with was 4 days, and that's in a 20 year span.
This is my first post here. I've been coming and reading for several months but too afraid to join. I'm really frustrated with myself and ready to try anything to get my life back.
I've realized I am drinking myself to death and now that I have a 18 month old grandson it must stop.
The problem is my husband drinks. I used to say to others "my husband's an alcoholic" and now I see I am too! I think it evolved by the old saying "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".
Oh well, today is my first day AF- again.

I'm having trouble figuring out all the symbols and posting rules! What is the title section for? How do you add the pictures?
I read some posts referring to baclofen- is this the prescription muscle relaxer? Is it supposed to help with cravings?
If I'm doing this wrong please understand I'm totally confused right now!

this is a title?

Hi Tawny ~
Your braver than me to not have any alcohol in the house. I say I won't- and then at 5:00 or "dinner time" I find some reason to run to the grocery store and just happen to pick up a box of my old favorite Franzia chardonnay.
Are you 3 days AF?

Tawny - go to "user cp" (top left), then "avatar". You can choose pic from Lots they have or add your own.

Didn't make day 4.

Schlott.

morning everyone, Franzia, no I managed Thursday then drank Friday, but with nothing in the house I was AF last night, will try really hard not to go to the shop for anything, I still feel like shit though, my head is pounding and there is no way I can stop taking the presript painkiller's while I feel like this, should I give them all up at once or concentrate on th alcohol for now, I am going to do a home liver test tomorrow, get the result's in 10 day's, I'm worried that it will come back really bad or if it's not then I will just think that that proves I can carry on drinking,why can't I just be a normal, rational adult? Thank's for the tip Savon.

I'm starting Tomorrow (don't ask!).

I've been quite under control the last several months... now, not so much.

I will do this alone, if I Have to!

In case anyone was wondering... this IS an addiction, pure & simple.

1 WEEK. We can do it.

:l

Count me in! We CAN do it! :thanks:

Hi everyone!!!

Well, Day 7, I drank. Unfortunately will drink again tonight as there is still beer left in the house. If it isn't here, I won't drink it. I will not beat myaelf up. I did 6 and a half days. I am proud of that. I haven't been able to do that in a year. I won't look behind me, I will look ahead....I AM getting better. I wasted 2 beers last night, just didn't feel like drinking them. That's gotta mean something, lol!

I am running out of Bac and I fear I won't have enough until my order comes in...I will have to titrate down so I can make it last, even still, I don't think I will be able to make it. My last order took a month to get here, I ordered last week, and I think I have 2 weeks left. I didn't plan that well, did I? I am going for a physical the end of October and I am going to try and sell my dr on the Bac and get a script for it. If she doesn't I will just keep ordering online. I know this works, and I will continue with or without her help.

On another note, my DD1 comes home from France tonight! I can hardly wait to see her! I am so excited!

I was given Baclofen for back pain awhile ago- had no idea it was used for this purpose!
I took it WHILE I drank! Ha Ha! Ofcourse it totally knocked me out. I have a few left- wondering if I could use it to stop the cravings now? Any ideas?:new:

7 DAY THREAD

Well, I made it thru the day!

Feeling stronger about this. But then I usually do the first few days... until I get to Day 3-4. OK - THIS TIME.

I'll be signing in tomorrow.

Have a great evening, ALL.
