Hi LIS.
What the others have posted so far echo my words exactly. This is YOUR battle. What your husband does is apart from what you need to do for yourself. Hippy Chick said it the way I would, straight in his face - "I don't want any wine, thank you" - and go do something else, like Jackie said. Plan a distraction before he opens the bottle and offers you a glass. Have a plan so that when he asks if you want one, you have the answer ready and an option to staying in the same room or even the same house with him. You can do it. You are strong enough. Believe in yourself. Be honest with yourself.
Good job on being AF last night (feels good to take the kids to school without a hangover, doesn't it?), and good job on getting the supps. We are all here for you. Anytime you need to chat - just go to ASAP and post that you need to talk and someone, somewhere will be in chat within minutes to talk to you. That is what the MWO folks are all about. Supporting each other.
Be strong:l
Stirly

That was my positive thought for this morning, I wasn't hungover Mum at school today



I know that I have to do it for myself, I just have to make sure I don't let him pull me back..

Just coming to the end of day 2 AF and I've just realised I've not thought about al for a couple of hours...

Tomorrow and Thursdays will be my hardest they always are.....

Best of luck, you deserve it, its tough enough to give up AL, and made tougher by your husbands behaviour. He should be ashamed of himself.
I am 16 days AF now thanks to this site and Allen Carrs book. It gets easier by the day (well for me so far anyway) and you CAN do it.

All the very best

Stick with it, LIS! The first few days are rough but after that it will get better. You will feel more clearheaded. In those early days I would sometimes say, if I still feel this bad on (insert next day here) I can always choose to drink then. You know what? I just kept moving that day out because the moment passed and it was a comfort to remind myself I could choose it at any time. As things cleared, I realized if I did choose it I would have to start over. Trust me, tomorrow morning you will not wake up and say "Man, I wish I drank last night" but almost certainly if you do it today you will wish you hadn't in the morning.

Sending you strength across the miles. Hang in there! This is hard but it is doable.

LIS- Try taking nyquil at bedtime-see if that helps with the sleep and headache problems.
wish you the best,
luv, Fluff

I forgot to mention-someone else was having headaches, too and it was suggested to keep hydrated-drink plenty of water.

The headaches seem to be a common theme. Strangely, I never had them when I drank, or perhaps I was too miserable to notice them. This too shall pass.

Thanks for the advice I'm drinking pretty much a lot of water and juice getting the supps and vits down I bought, I'm sure it will pass I just find it hard to concentrate with it banging on for 3 days and nights now..

Hi L.I.S
Just wanted to wish you all the best for today. It gets easier when you start feeling better physically.
Take care and dont give in.

Thanks honey

I just realised I've made it through AF3, I've just confided in my closest friend and she's so wonderful over it:l I just wish she lived here.:upset:

If I don't sleep tonight I'm going to try nyquil tomorrow like Fluff suggested

Thanks again hugs:l

Hi, Leave.
Stirly again. You can do this. You know you can. Just get through each day. Try the Nyquil like Fluff suggested. It just might be what will get you over this little bump. Days three and four can be tough but you can be tougher. You will get through this. Like Lodestar said, you'll never wake up in the morning and say "Gee I wish I'd had too many drinks last night" but if you drink, you will say tomorrow that you wish you hadn't. Just keep that in mind. :goodjob: on managing so far....XXOO Stirly

[leaveinsilence]

Ok this is me..

Thanks SG:l

I didn't so much as sleep but napped last night so I do feel a little better this morning...

I woke up to find my inbox full of stuff from the friend I confided in, a few things to make me feel better, the address of a counselor, and most importantly her undivided attention and support to get me through..
