    urgently got to go dry but its dangerous

    8am test

    Well here I go, 8am got my first test I know it will be clean coz I am AF....

    BUT just hope that after I can hold out till next week

    coz I have already got it in my head that I have got time to relax and have a few before next week...childish and stupid huh??

    it really is like having the devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear tempting of how I could get away with it..

      Well done LJ you have achieved your first aim, and I bet it feels good. You can build from here, tell that devil on your shoulder to take a running jump you have more pressing issues, like your son. In relation to relaxing and having a few you need to rethink this and see that you are rewarding yourself now by not drinking. Keep up the good work you are doing great.
      Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

              Yay Jan! Thats fabulous news!
              Keep on trucking and resisting those urges and might be an idea to put in place some strategies for future use should the going get tough.

                      OLLIE

                      Hiya,
                      Went to see my Ollie yesterday had a real nice time with him, what a difference without a drink.. playing with him and my concentation with him was so different and so happy..

                      I think can notice the difference although he doesn't say anything about it, but our time together is so much happier.

                      On the AL front still AF, it's not easy but the BAC is helping, I notice the change when it starts to wear off, gonna start to take some out with me in my bag, coz I was out longer than I counted on and could feel a change, I had a 00.00 beer in a bar it helped so it must be the psycological side craving..dunno..??

                      but made it home and had 1/2 a BAC tab(12.5mgs) made myself busy in the house, took doggies out for a walk along the marina stayed away from bars..they were calling.. always used to have a few pit stops when I took them out..

                      managed to resist, just hope I can keep it up, weekends are always hard, plus I knew I could cheat this weekend coz there is no risk of the breath test over the weekend..

                      well it's sunday now and have been good, just had my cold AL free beer, it's not bad actually starting to like it, but mustn't fall into the trap of having one in the morn coz I reckon that will soon lead to a real one in the morn......! don't wanna do that..

                      okies, take it easy you guys, my thoughts are with all of you, we are all in the same damm boat but at least we have eachother to reach out to.. the "normal people" really don't understand the painful depths and demons we struggle against daily,

                      they can be so condecending.."surely if you know it's dangerous for you, why can't you just stop"...F'ing B'stds.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

                          urgently got to go dry but its dangerous

                          one year on

                          I've Bumped my first thread of when my journey began, the story of my stuggle to get my little Ollie back from the very near brink of being lost into the system of care, for newbies and oldies alike to have a read and to know there can be a happy ending if you stick with it..
                          It does come true if you want it to.....

                          As most of you know Ollie was fully given back to me the 28th of July 2010 since being taken the 10th November 2008....20 months of a mother and child seperation....
                          He had only just turned 6 years and was close to 8 year when he came home...very magical sweet times of a little boys childhood with his mum, the cuddles and silly things that they say & do was taken from me..but it could've been forever.

                          I bring that up as a warning to those who may be dicing with danger of losing their own child as the social services are not blind or stupid, believe me....

                          I started to get on a roll once I started writing this and am at last writting my journey, will be finished in a bit, but it will be too long to continue on here...!!! so I'll post it on the right section in about an hour..


                          But it has a very happy ending as most of you know..:h:h

                            WHEW!!!

                            Lady Jan, I thought this was a very recent post, so I was worried and confused!!!

                            Thank you for bumping this up and reminding all of us how serious this is.


                            Im so glad you changed your life around, and even more glad that you gained your relationship with your son back.

                            Good Job!
                            I LOVE MY SEROTONIN AND BOOZE SCREWS IT UP!!!!!

                                hi hunni, So glad to here you'll be getting your son back. I personally (if i was in your shoes) stop drinking and like now, when your heart is racing and sweating, go to the A&E and get checked in for help. You don't want do be doing this alone and that was hospitals are there for!!!!
