You are absolutely in the right place, enuf. You just started a "thread", so obviously you do know how things work, even if you don't know that you know.

Welcome to MWO, it is a wonderful place to work on your drinking problem.

I hope that the itch you are talking about is a psychological one. If you start having any physical symptoms, read the "Sticky" note at the top of the ASAP forum.

Otherwise the easiest way to get through this evening is to plan something to do and try to have lots of other beverages around. We want you to drink lots and lots of fluids. Make sure you have a nourishing meal, which will help a great deal with cravings.

I don't know what other stuff you have on hand, but if you haven't already done so, you might want to download the book. Reading will be a good distraction tonight.

Here's to you on hanging in there and kicking AL in the butt tonight!

:welcome:

Hi thanks so much, no it is physical itch, but been here many times before, will prob just not sleep much at all, have gruesome nightmares etc. Have just had nice meal and gonna have a nice hot bath.

I have read lots of the info on this site and I feel encouraged. Things have to change now.. have lost confidence, being made redundant has not helped. But need to get back into work and to do that feel confident in what I CAN do, AL does not help in this matter I find...

Hi nuffsenuff,

Welcome to MWO, this is a good place!
After you read the MWO book you need to make a plan for yourself, one you can stick with.
Look in the Tool box (located in the Monthly Abstinence section). It's full of good ideas to help you make your plan.

Please feel free to join us on the 'Newbies Nest' thread, lots of folks there just getting started as well.

Wishing you the best!
Lav

Hey Nuff,
You found the right place to be. It is a wise decision to not have the temptation in the house. In addition, if the shops are closed, you kind of resolve to the fact that you are not drinking tonight. See how you feel tomorrow. Maybe try the same thing again. Come back and let us know how you are doing.
