    Day 7: loving it

    A week ago today I had an ephiphany. 2 months of repeated attempts at moderation have proved that I am incapable of moderating. I do not like the way alcohol makes me feel during or after. I do not like falling asleep when I should be with my children. I researched the DUI laws of my state and convinced myself that one will COMPLETELY ruin my life. Anyway today is day 7. I plan to tackle the entire month of October and keep going.

    PS I got some Ambien. I know it's a crutch but I have been sleeping like a baby.

    Day 7: loving it

    :goodjob: Gearhead,

    I had to google Ambien.

    I've been known to take sea sickness tablets to help me sleep ( it does say may cause drowsiness).

    Valerian's also a good one and also herbal.

    You're doing great.

    Love Jackie xxx

          Gearhead...as one still struggling with the aftereffects of a DUI, I can tell you that I can only WISH WISH WISH that I had one-tenth of the foresight and wisdom that you are now displaying. It really can ruin your life and I wish so much that I had quit BEFORE my DUI and not after, even though the DUI was the wake-up call for me to quit drinking.

          Bravo and hang in there. Good job on 7 days.
