Day 7
Looked back on yesterdays thread it seems that so many "old" and" new "people are joining the battle.
I had a great day on the hills yesterday and did go to the pub afterwards with the other mountain walkers but was not tempted at all to drink alcohol.
Found it hard when I came back home as the usual reward of a bottle of wine was not an option. It is the habit that is so hard to break. However,I am awake very early and ready to go.Muscles stiff and sore after all the climbing but head so clear and hangover free.
I am so worried that it will not last.

It will last, and get easier too. Day 16 here and I truly couldn't face a beer. Took about a week to get to that stage. Just stick with it and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Good morning everyone day 21 for me. Its been a bit tough but no major cravings latel. Everytime i think i want a drink i remind myself i don't want to go back to that dark place again. I mostly drank alone and often missed a nice sunny day were i could have been enjoying it doing the garden or getting out for a nice walk. Its another lovely sunny day here. Well done on your success. :goodjob::yougo:verheated:

Wow what a brilliant positive load of posts most of us are in the same boat if you know what I mean?
We just need England to do better in the World cup and then all will be perfect in this house!
Stay focussed on the battle everyone!

Hiya, well dont to all you trojan people. I am finally on Day 2 (It aint over yet and its the witching hour for both me and my little son who gets so grumpy and tired at this time of the day!!. ) But I am drinking lots of water and have to admit smoking a few cigs.. i thought I could go AF and NF at the same time but alas... a bit too hard. I must say Day 2 I thought I would be bursting with energy but I'm knackered and look just as bad as I did yesterday!!! Must take a bit longer huh??
I have just taken some Lglut - i hope that helps, I only need to get through the next 2 or 3 hours..
Thanks for all your great posts

HI Patrice, How I hate the witching hour. Maybe just concentrating one 10 miutes at a time will help. Although it is different for all of us that witching hour seems to be what we all seem to have in common. Best wishes for the rest of the day Liz:h

Overit is here today with a hangover free sunrise! Thank God.

Good to see everyone this morning! Panno I am proud that you resisted, Good job! Im also proud of the newer people who are doing so well! I think thats awesome the way you have taken the ball and ran with it so to speak.

Yesterdays thread did get very very long. That was mostly my fault because i was having a bad time due to getting plastered the night before. I hope that everyone knows that no matter where you are at in the journey, good or bad times, you can always come here for support and a shoulder to lean on. If nothing else, yesterday was a perfect example of support in action for me. And I was very grateful to have that. It is available to anyone who needs it, Thank God!!!

Heres to a FOR SURE AF day and never give up the fight!

Goodmorning All,

Day 10 for me, I woke up with a enormous headache and feeling sick to my stomache, felt like a hangover. Patrice I am still exhausted so for some it takes awhile, I hope I get some energy back soon. Ofcourse it would help if I took some vitamins, I think I will start taking some today.

It was a great day by the seaside yesterday, had lunch and ordered a diet coke! Had a little urge yesterday for a glass of wine, but this time around unlike before, I have realized I can never moderate and once I told myself that the urge disappeared.

It's awesome to hear how well everyone is doing, makes me happy, keep going!!!

Congratulations to everyone all your AF days. Whether you're just starting out, or have some time under your belt, you are still an inspiration to others around here. Keep up the good work everyone.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!
