Day 3 going well...tonight as cooking a wonderful dinner and fire lite thougth how nice a glass of wine would be - but then thought of all the other consequences and so not worth it right. After making that decision we had a "family" moment that had I been drinking would not have been able to enjoy - to me that was God reminding me why I am doing this. Thanks....

Count me in! Even though I didn't start on January 1st today is my day one and I actually feel better than I thought. I wonder if it could be that my last drink for 9 a.m. Jan 2nd yes you read it right, had one beer left in the frige and instead of pouring it out I drank it yesterday morning.
Anyway I am determined to beat this demon and like alot of you it will be about eating health and getting some exercise.
Nice to meet everyone and some of you I think I met my first time around.

It's time

God has been trying to get my attention for a long, long time. A couple of months ago I "totaled" my car and received a DWI (court is still "continued" at this post time) - God now has my undivided attention on this subject. Thankfully God was merciful to me and no one else was hurt or worse - KILLED. I will not drink and drive any more but I still want to drink with dinner and at home - I have a very stressful job and don't sleep well at night without my wine. I have successfully given up my favorite Scotch a while back.

This site looks like something that will be helpful to me. i want to try Baclofen and Naltrexone. I have seen studies that show they can be used together and may provide more benefit when used together as opposed to either alone.

I don't know how strong I will be or if I will be successful but I look forward to any support and help I can receive from this community.

Good morning, all. I made it through Friday and Saturday but yesterday went to my neighbor's to exchange Christmas gifts and had 3 glasses of wine so it is back to day 1 for me. I apologize for not sticking to my conviction. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Good morning, all,

I journey of an AF 2010 moves along. Day 4 AF for me and doing well. I have been reading and learning from the toolbox area. It is so surprising that even a small "helpful hint" can make such a big difference.

Back later,

Hey all, and even more joining - this is great!! A massive welcome to you all! :welcome:

Hi Firefox, it's really frosty over in London as well!

Cuckoo, don't feel bad - we've all been there. If you want to get back on the AF wagon with us, hop on board! Some of the new people joining are day 1 too.

Good to see you picking up hints, Com. I should do that more often - it does really help to see what works for others and to remember certain things for 'crisis points'.

Well, doing ok here - first day back at work after a long weekend, but it was quite nice to see my colleagues and some new clients. After 3 days of naughty curry, I have finally gone shopping and tonight I made myself some nice healthy dinner (chicken n veg stirfry, mmm) which will also do for my lunch tomorrow.

I am now trying to update my Ipod and I have this song I really want to download from a few months back but I can only remember one word of it!! Yes, yes I know! I liked the tune, not the words ok! I hope it comes on the radio and I can hear who it is as I am having no joy just googling the word 'rain' and '2009' :H Silly me!

Anyway off to bed shortly as I am a bit knackered. Hope to see how everyone is and have a chat tomorrow. Take care guys and girls

Thanks, Kimberly. I attended an on-line AA meeting today. It was quite good.

Wow that's cool Cuckoo. Sounds like a good part of the plan maybe? Anyway I am really going to bed now before I drive myself crazy with this song! Night all.

Hi Cuckoo,
I have been doing on AA meeetings for awhile and they do help me. Not sure if it's for everyone, but they have provided relief and knowledge for me. Feel free to PM and I can share the site I use. Perhaps it's the same.
Take Care!!

I didn't know they did AA on-line. I will check here and see what I can find. Do you guys have advice for a binger that would like to quit binging and return to just a social drink (glass of wine with dinner) or from your experience should I just try to go AF period? any advice is welcome.
Thanks and I look forward to getting to know this community.

Micah, you might be able to find information about moderating in the "Long Term Moderators" forum. I'm sorry I have no suggestions for the occasional social drink because that is beyond my conception. Yes, the AA meeting I attended yesterday on-line was run just like a face 2 face AA meeting so if anyone is contemplating AA it might be a good way to get a feel for what to expect.
