Day 3 and what a grump
Hi Shen
sitting here drinking lemon water. Heading into day 8 (yaa) I had to turn down an invitation to go out with friends tonight.....too tempting.
How are you doing?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.....

Day 3 and what a grump
So far so good! I was drinking Raspberry Zinger iced tea. :H
I was thinking about the irritation/grumpiness thing. I think my brain is trying to trick me into drinking. AL had been my go-to for almost all emotions. Joy, fear, pain, sorrow...
Now I've cut it off and it was sending the signal "Just have a GD drink. You'll feel so much better. Hard to explain I guess. Anyway today was easier, every day has been.
Glad to hear you are going strong!

Day 3 and what a grump
Good for you! When I quit drinking for the second time I had definite withdrawal symptoms, including extreme moodiness. Those symptoms have subsided and I am feeling more emotionally stable then I have for a long time. Drinking is so depressing!
Hopefully you feel wonderful soon! This is such a great site for help getting through the rough patches.

Day 3 and what a grump
Hello WineB and all others! Sounds like everyone is doing great. I have found that the first week of not drinking it's a good idea for me to have as little interaction with others as possible as I do tend to get moody and grumpy! But really, it's kind of the same with a diet or anything else that makes me feel deprived.
Anyway, I'm feeling great and now on day 12. Hang in there all!

Day 3 and what a grump
Phew glad to hear it's not only me going through the grumps I'm on day 2 AF and am starting to feel a bit edgy, I would normally have had a couple of glasses of wine by this time of day but am sticking to green tea. Thinking of buying some L-Glut tomorrow. Does this really help? x

Day 3 and what a grump
Hi Chelsea,
Yes the L-glut helps and for me the GABA calms my agitation and anxiety. Hang in there. Days three through five were the worst for me. You WILL feel better with time.AF Since January 02, 2011

Day 3 and what a grump
I was a huge grump today too and it's day 3 (again) for me and had a horrible day at work!! I was going to eat a ton of ice cream and fries to take ace of AL to make me feel better. But instead I vented to my best friend (my biggest supporter), had a good cry, some L-glutamine, valerian and some chamomile tea. I think I'm good. Best of luck to you. We can do this!!! ODAT.

Thanks Shen,
I will go and get some L-glut as so many seem to think it helps.
On day 4 now still feeling grumpy but am getting there. Not sure how the weekend will pan out as am going out with the girls, maybe not such a good idea lol. x
