Hi Old vine,

I don`t consider 1 small glass of wine as blowing it. Actually, you should congratulate yourself on the fact that you were able to keep it at that, well done! As far as the rhodiola goes, I am not familiar with the brand Body, mind, spirit so i can`t comment on it, but give it a try, what do you have to lose?

I have to say that after having such an awful day starting right from the beginning. I feel a lot better from reading all your encouraging posts. I am on day 2 I felt grumpy when I left work today I had to do some grocery shopping and I wasn't thrilled about that all I wanted was to go home. I decided to get the laundry done and I feel so much better than I did earlier today. I am just going to take it easy tonight and watch a good show and not think about anyting else. Thanks for all your posts it really made me feel a lot better compared to earlier. I know I can do this I have made it to 33 days in the past so heres to another af day for everyone.:h

Can I join you on your starting again?

I blew it last night too. I was just so stressed and ended up drinking a bottle of wine and a couple of gin and tonics.

My son came home from school in a bad mood and things went down hill from there. However, this is NOT my son's fault, it's mine for not being able to step away and be more rational.

And guess how I felt by the end of the evening? Absolute crap for drinking too much, still very stressed out and incredibly angry with everyone and everything. So much for trying to de-stress.

I am going to call this a learning curve and start again. I did 11 AF days up until yesterday and I am going to do it again.

I agree with another post here - 11 AF free days is amazing considering some of us having been drinking everyday for many years.

Good luck to anyone carrying on.

You guys are all inspiring. I have drastically reduced my drinking too. I have only have very small "blips" since Dec. 31 (NYE). There was one day where I was so so so stressed out. I wanted to reach for the Tequila and do a shot. It was really like a battle with the devil the conversation that went on in my head. I still need some help in dealing with those moments. I think for those fleeting moments I can see the beauty of having a sponsor...Somebody to help you through that momentary crisis.

Thank goodness for MWO. It's keeping me working towards my ultimate goal of being AF, happy, and peaceful.
