    Day five....Bring it on!

    So, My internet connection went down for a while, hence me not posting my progress yesterday, but now its up and running again I thought I'd best check in so ya'll know I'm still on the wagon!
    well, I'm In to the early hours of day five now and I'm pretty proud of myself. Its friday night so thats always gonna be a tricky one but I havent touched a drop, and strangely havent really felt a massive urge to do so, despite my house mates drinking wine in the same room as me as we chatted and watched tv....I keep expecting the bubble to burst but for now I seem to be holding out . Yey.
    On the way home on the tube I did start to think about how nice a glass of wine would be when I got home but then I gave myself a mental reality check that it would not be just one glass. I thought about how proud I'm going to feel when people, months down the line, realise I meant business when I said I was taking control...thats gonna keep me going on and on fingers crossed.
    Hope everyone had a great day, I'm off to bed for some lovely sober sleep. Night everyone.

      Well done Time - the first few days are so hard - especially when others around you are drinking - you should be really proud of yourself! Great job!

      How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....

        Sounds as if you are getting the same result I did. It is no harder than you make it. After the first few days I didn't have any cravings. I am dead-set certain that it is all attitude.
        I was determined I was going to do 30 days come hell or high water.
        If you feel the same then it will be a breeze.
        No doubt. No surrender. Give it everything you've got.

          Well done Time, Friday nights are a tough one too so double pats on the back. I hope you enjoy your clear head in the morning and reward yourself with a well deserved, smiling day

            Great work Time to Change! Getting a weekend under your belt is a real milestone. The first one is the hardest, but you'l soon find that weekends can be about getting up early on Saturday and Sunday and enjoying the days in full. You are making big strides and are well on your way. Keep it up!
            While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

                    Well done Time, I found once I got through the first week it just seemed easier to sort of say 'well I did it last Sat so I can do it this Sat' sort of thing. I kind of agree with you BH, attitude is a very big part of the whole thing, it would be unfair to underestimate the power of addiction - some experience it worse than others, but definitely the attitude 'I won't' as opposed to 'I hope I won't' is a very large part of this, probably the difference between success and failure in the end?

                      Thanks everyone for your messages,
                      I'm really loving this community, I think it helps so much to have people there to check in with and to follow each others progress, because of the nature of the subject and the anonymity everyone is really honest as there's no reason not to be, Really motivational, you're all stars!
                      Well, thats day five under my belt and I turned down what I'm sure would have been a great night out with friends tonight as I just don't trust my will power THAT much yet, but I don't feel downtrodden about it, there's no point. I've just got to be sensible for a while until I find my feet.
                      Had a bit of a wobble on the way home again, seems to be a pattern there as it was the same yesterday. I wanted wine but I bought cake instead!
                      Cake was good.
                      I'm still feeling pretty lack lustre in the mornings even though I'm getting enough sleep. I'm hoping that will change over the next few nights as my liver gets used to its new easy life.
                      I am feeling really positve right now but at the same time I'm aware that I will probably hit a wall at some point in this mission so I cannot afford to get complacent. I've got to keep the positive attitude at all times....And the cake!
                      Hope everyone had a great day, Always fab to read everyones posts and updates.

                        Hi Time....you are doing really well and should be proud of yourself. I am on day 8, feeling great and ready to go to work tomorrow without a 3 day hangover (imagine the productivity!!!!). Great to see you doing so well........I look forward to reading future posts of your success. Enjoy your cake, I have a big stash of lollies!

                          Day five....Bring it on!

                          I'm having a bit of a moment right now, Its sunday afternoon and I've just got back from shopping to an empty house. This is always a trigger for me, when I'm still on the high of a shopping trip looking at my new purchases...Makes me want to celebrate! I'm feeling pretty fed up that I can't have the thing I want so much right now, A nice bottle of Merlot. I keep thinking how nice it would be to have a nice big glass, especially seeing as the weathers beautiful today, The main thing thats stopping me skipping off to the off-licence right this minute is imagining how I'll feel afterwards, and I don't mean the hangover. Tomorrow will be day 7 which is such a milestone I really don't want to mess it up now.
                          well done Blinder, hope day 8 is going well for you. Thanks Sheri, I can't wait start this wonderful new life, How long did it take before you felt you were mentally al free? I find myself thinking about it alot of the time.

                            It's a big LIE. The alcohol is taking to you. PLEASE see "Junkie Thinking" thread by Sheri it has helped me several times!

                              I went and bought a big doughnut from the local bakery and I'm having it with a cup of tea. I had to walk past the off-licence twice to get there and back. Will power still intact! phew.
