My goals here...

[sweet79]

A few had asked what my goals are while I'm here....
1st I would like to stop hiding bottles of wine in my closet, and stop hiding how much I actually have been drinking on a daily basis. For the longterm I am looking to cut down and drink moderately. I feel my immediate goal needs to be to stop drinking all together right now. I plan to have only one glass of wine with dinner on Thanksgiving.

I do notice I have been feeling really sick though.....I have had a dull headache for the last couple of days, and feeling a little sick in my tummy. Beyond that I feel ok, and feel better about myself that I haven't been drinking.

Thank you all!
xoxo

I'm sorry your not feeling well :l I drank a lot of water with lemon. And rested a lot. A big part of why I think I felt sick was because of stress. It's such a big step to take, but well worth it. You'll feel better soon. I like your goal of stopping hiding bottles of wine in your closet. I'm very glad your feeling better about yourself for not drinking. Your doing a good job.

Hello and welcome sweet, there is a tool box thread in monthly abstinence thread, you can use that to help you make a plan, its expected that your body & mind will react to you stopping poisoning yourself,as at this stage that's what your doing,taking it one day or one hour at a time will help and believe me it does get better but give yourself a chance as you didn't get here overnight, goodluck and i hope to see you around.

Good luck to you Sweet! So happy you are here. Sounds like you have a plan. Stopping all together is a great idea. Moderating never worked for me. It's a slippery slope wet with wine for me! one glass = one bottle so not in the cards for me. Stay around, post and read often. You will feel better every day. Welcome - you are among friends.

Hi Sweet, I hope you feel better. Some people benefit from writing down their goals, the more detail the better. How long do you plan to be sober while you build your moderation plan? Read and write lots.
