    Week 2

    Well i'm now at 14 days AF and feeling quite positive.... I'm still not eating properly but otherwise i think i'm out of the woods.... Antidepressants are starting to kick in... its now i start to realise how much ive lost..... I apologised to my mother for missing her birthday yesterday so i feel better for that.... i havent had a craving *yet* today and i'm starting to think about doing something other than sitting around the house all day.... Thanks everyone for your supporting words so far its appreciated....

    Hey jon_doh. I am with you. I am on day 18 and have had to battle with some serious cravings. I could have screamed yesterday from sheer frustration but still made it... just.I just cant go back to drinking. It turns me into someone I despise.

          I've just near the end of day 9 and I was in the supermarket this evening and it felt as though booze was being thrown at me!!! Felt pretty weird. Keep it up guys!
          "The greatest hazard of all, losing one?s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed." Soren Kierkegaard.

            Hey Jon, good work on 14 days. Things do start to get easier. I don't know your whole story. But you mention now you notice what you've lost. That in some ways has been harder for me than the drinking. Jusst stick with it. Things will start to fall into place over time.

              Thanks everyone..... I've had a rough day but i didn't give in.... Depression is a bitch, i know alcohol will make it worse. I went to AA tonight which lifted me for a bit but now i'm back home and climbing the walls.... I'm sure it was never this bad before

                Depression is a bitch Jon antidepressents can take up to 2 weeks to really kick in. Then the dosage may not be enough. Just keep on top of it. And yes alcohol does make depression MUCH worse. Trust me on that one.
                The trick with stopping drinking is its a whole life style change. Try doing some stuff you like when you feel down or the urges strike. Or even try something you've always wanted to do.
                I know how bad the hopelessness can get. You'll see in awhile things aren't as bad as you think they are right now. A
