ODAT Sunday 16th May

[Bessie]

Scuse me butting in and starting the ODAT thread out of the blue. I haven't been on here for quite a while but feel the need to come back for the support that is one of the great things about this site! I've slipped back to some heavy drinking days and waaaay too often and want to beat it and I know that ODAT is the way to start!! So here I am.

:hallo: to everyone. Have a great Sunday, ODAT!.

Hi Bessy,

Welcome Back. This place is so good for me too. I just don't get much puter time!!!

It's pretty quiet in ODAT today. Maybe everyone is busy doing ODAT! Heavy drinking way too often - not good, not good at all. Change is definitely needed Bess. Sending you lots of encouragement.

Stick around, hope to get to know you a bit better. Let's know your plan.

Hi Bessie and Mazzie nice to meet you both, it sure is quiet today. Starting day 9 today and feeling pretty good can't remember the last time I had 8 full days without the usual bottle or 2 of wine!! 2nd Sunday without a hangover :cheering: I don't have a full plan yet but I am spending alot of time close to everyone here and it really is helping. I am taking the supplements: Milk Thistle, Kudzu and L-Glut and a multi vitamin and they also are helping particular the L-Glut around that 5 o'clock time!! Have a great day both of you and all those yet to come :l

Hi Bessie
Good for you. If you did it once you can get back there again.
I still haven't made it more than 8 days at once. I lost motivation there for a while, but I intend to go for it this time. I don't think L-Glut does much for me - still find I have to urge surf between 5 and 7, and if I do this consciously and keep busy, I won't let myself get in the car.
I'm not sure whether Milk Thistle works either, but it makes me feel better, so I take it, along with Multi-vitamins and Evening Primrose.
Working out a plan ahead of those tricky times is a good idea. Danger time for me is often at about a week AF, when I'm starting to feel good and like it's not that hard. Then the little voices start telling me that one little drink won't hurt, but of course one drink generally becomes one bottle or more, and therein lies the problem.
Right, I must get to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.

I am hoping that now that I am af, I will be able to be a hitting machine! I made it through another band rehearsal last night, no booze, no smokes - I fealt comfortable, which is a real positive change. Take care everyone,
Hill

Day 2 AF nearly complete, am really proud of myself, but right now am struggling a little. Feel a bit edgy and can't settle to anything. Have a bit of a headache and my shoulders are sooooo tense!!!

Keep thinking tomorrow I will feel OK and about the way I woke up this morning without feeling completely crap, didn;t realise how crap I felt every monring til I woke up without a hangover.

Keep strong everyone, I am determined to do better this time.

Good job day 2 Izzy.

Mama, I worked 13 hours yesterday, from 11 am until 1 am. Trust me if I wasnt at work, a bottle would have been calling my name too. Weekends are really hard, I know! Sometimes when I have to work my ass off, im actually grateful for it.

Near the end of AF day 3. After months of drinking two bottles od wine every night before colapsing in bed semi conscious I find I am catching up on a lot of missing sleep (real sleep that is, not a drunken stupor!)
