    Day 3 and what a grump

    I literally did put a padlock on my husbands liquor cabinet (okay it was a small suitcase lock but it served the purpose) just to provide something I'd have to really undo to get to it! And I gave him the key to hide somewhere. He kind of raised his eyebrow like, "really...??" but for me it was symbolic as well that I'm really doing this.

      Day 3 and what a grump

      for those who are following my recovery with anticipation....... I am nearing the end of day 4 AF (yaa !!) Now if I can just relearn how to sleep. Why is it soo hard to sleep????
      I would rather have a frontal labotomy than a bottle in-front-of-me.

      AF since Oct 23,2013

      I watched this and found it incredibly empowering.....

        eeky:

        Ah you see you never know when someone will pop up to have a peek to see how you're doing WineB. :goodjob: by the way.

        I afraid you're sleep is probably going to be all over the place for a little while, but don't worry it passes. Just try to put your feet up and rest when you get the time.
        It could be worse, I could be filing.

            Same here... Mr. Wonderful also makes his own wine and has a large cabinet full of Barolo. I also asked him to lock it and keep the key. By now, there usually is an open bottle of wine in the kitchen and it doesn't bother me anymore. Now, if it was a bottle of Chardonnay.... I'm not so sure.
            Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

                  hi WBG, if your wine's really that good could you sell it? Or give it to your friends as gifts. I would say anything to get rid of it!!

                  Sounds like you're feeling a bit cheerier anyway which is great. and great that your wife is being so supportive. good luck

                    Day 3 and what a grump

                    WBG - sleeplessness is a common withdrawal symptom when quitting and may last several weeks, once it passes you should get the best sleeps ever once you settle into being AF.

                    I don't think it's a good idea having all that wine in your basement, too easy for temptation to lure you in. It's advisable to make the house as booze free as possible, as Kim suggests any chance of giving it away?

                      WBG, I would get rid of the wine. Do you have any friends who could bottle it for you, and use your wine equipment? I'm a home brewer- I'm going to ask my brother-in-law if he wants all my carboys, airlocks, etc.

                          Update....... I'm now well into day 5 AF. Outside of the fact I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night, I feel pretty good! Hopefully I can get a good nights sleep tonight.

                          Tonight will be a challenge as I watch the Canada/Russia Gold Medal Junior Hockey Game on TV.

                          Go CANADA Go !!!

                          I will be cheering with my glass of lemon water !!!!!!!

                              Well done Wine and Damo!

                              The thing is the days are going to go by anyway, might as well be sober days and then you have something to count that you can be proud of!

                                You can do it. I too am AF and am now on day 6. I actually slept most of the night last night and seem to not be as cranky as i was. we CAN do this.
