Im so glad you have your friends support she sounds just what you need,
rememeber we are all here for you too. I only had 4 hrs sleep last night and today it feels slightly like a hangover and is a great reminder of how i dont want to feel!

Everyday gets easier....

Day AF4 over almost thank God almost crumbled a few times, thank god for the guys in the chat room who kept me strong.. especially when my h/b bought me a beer which I refused and told him I didn't want to drink tonight so he appeared five minutes later with a huge red wine for me instead... then flounced off when I told him again I wasn't drinking....

Time for tea and painkillers for this headache and some sleep tonight hopefully.. Day five looms

Hi LIS,
Day 4 done and dusted :goodjob:

Shouldn't laugh but don't you just love it when men flounce

Ok this is me..

God mine flounces like a sulky two year old

Day 5 part way through, I can't remember the last time I hadn't had a few drink by now on a Friday, actually it scares the hell out of me doing this over the weekend:upset:

The weekend is drink time right?

Gonna keep busy, ignore the glass of wine that belongs to my h/b sitting innocently in the kitchen.... I'm doing as Stirly suggested and imagining it as what it really is poison wrapped invitingly in a nice red coating..

I've arranged to pick my daughter up from her friends later, it surprised my friend though, somehow I usually wrangle it so she brings her home, but not this weekend.. I hope she doesn't offer me a glass of wine whilst we chat:upset::upset:

Stay strong everyone x

Ok this is me..

hey LIs IM ON DAY THREE TOO, HEADACHES AND NO SLEEP, i HOPE IT GETS BETTER SOON, SPEAK LATER TONIGHT MAYBE?

[leaveinsilence]

Ok this is me..

I'll be in chat later when I get twitchy, so we'll chat then.

Well done you on AF3:goodjob:

The headaches seem less today they come and go now and the sleep will happen for you honey:l the weird thing is though my brain feels like I've been drinking, I keep forgetting things and wandering round forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing, I put a loaf of bread in the laundry basket this morning!! I feel like I've had a heavy night in that respect...

Right my daughter is on a sleepover now and I'm gonna need a removals van to drop off the amount of stuff she wants for one night

spk soon x

[JackieClaire]

Ok this is me..

Sleep over :H

It should be renamed: Stay awake all night,make as much noise as possible, be a grumpy as hell the following day over.

Tell me about it that last one I had here it was 4am before they finally slept and then two of them woke me up at 6am with a coffee and toast:H


Well I've made it past day 6... Friday and Saturday without alcohol can't remember that ever happening before... kept busy chatted online with my friend, who I've admited the truth to now... "she keeps telling me she's so proud of me, for admitting that I need help":l

Tomorrow will be hard when I've got to this point before I've gone hey I've done a week now I'll just have a little glass with Sunday lunch... Not tomorrow though.. I'm going to keep telling myself this that my other friend sent me..

Hey Leave.
Thanks for posting that quote - I just love it. Have written it down with the few others I have received that have stood out for me.
Hope your Sunday is going well and you have resisted that wine with lunch (well when it is your lunch time - we are 8 hours ahead!).
Take care
Hippy

[leaveinsilence]

Ok this is me..

I love that quote too:h

Well lunch was okay I posted somewhere else that I really missed not having my usual two glasses whilst I wascooking, but when I came to sit down and eat I can honestly say I wasn't bothered, my water and lime was just fine even when my h/bs full glass was in front of me..

Day 8 AF.... Somehow I made it through...thanks to MWO...

Finally I slept a full night so thats good, I'm not feeling 100% yet but a hell of a lot better than I was this time last week...

I had a school thing on at my daughters school this morning and I actually felt well enough to put full make up on, usually I feel so rough it's the bare minimum to hide how bad I feel. Anyway a couple of the Moms teased me about how glam I was looking :H but the best thing was, it was so good to sit there and not have to worry about any of the other Moms being able to smell last nights alcohol on me... I liked that

[Hippy Chick]

Ok this is me..

It feels good doesnt it! Have a good day.
Hippy

[leaveinsilence]

Ok this is me..

Day 10 AF for me and today I just feel so... I don't know what, down, fed up, tearful can't be bothered with anything and so angry with the world... I know it's just my body adjusting to AF but I feel so arghhh today...

I even screamed at my little one this morning and having to watch her face crumble as she burst into tears made me feel worse.. poor kid just didn't know what she'd done to deserve it:upset:

[fluff]

Ok this is me..

Hi Leave- Day 10 is fantastic!-Don't let your emotions trigger a start back to drinking-just accept them and don't let that be an excuse to drink-it won't get you to day 11-just back to day 1-and harder to get back on the wagon. Look at how far you have come!
BTW- I don't know of any mom who hasn't yelled or screamed at their kids- just tell her you are sorry for the outburst and you will both feel better.
Luv, Fluff
