The 48 hour thread

I'm still here and yes Momof3 you are so right. I accepted that, then lost it last year. I didn't think it mattered, or should I say that I mattered. It certainly did.

I know I simply can't drink, that if I do dare drink I'm headed only in one direction and that is down a very steep slope.

Hey

How is everyone? is Blue still here?I'm onto day 7 now, feeling ok and trying not to get carried away. I had a drinking thought yesterday, only because I had a large expanse of time ahead of me. What I did do was go for a walk into town, met up with a friend and had coffee and a long chat with him. Came home, made a meal and went to bed early. I was actually really tired, so had a nice long sleep.

I'm still reminding myself I simply cannot drink, or should I say I'm not prepared to go to the places alcohol will send me.

Thanks Chelsea, yes I can and I did do it again. I am on day four. Was so wonderful to wake up without a rotten head ache. I got a little antsy around supper time today. That's when I would break out the wine. I talked myself through it and did a ride on my spinning bike that was much more healthy.
Tomorrow morning is going to feel awesome!
Talk to you later,

Hi Running good news on day 4. Like you I would normally break open wine at supper time, usually whilst cooking so now I have non AL wine which seems to help. I am loving not having that hangover in the mornings and for once being able to do 3 classes back to back at the gym....Think gym is going to be my new addiction lol.

UK glad to hear you have made it to day 7 :-)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone x

Has anyone had drinking dreams? The last couple of nights I was dreaming that I had drank too much and had a terrible hangover. When I woke up I felt great. What's that all about?
On another a more positive note, it is a beautiful sunny day here in BC and I feel good enough to get out and enjoy it.
Enjoy life folks!

Hey everyone,

UK - I'm still here just not doing so good, thanks for asking.

I've been gone a few days - take a guess why? Feeling pretty low right now. I have to
recommit and get my s***t together. Sorry folks.

I think I should purchase the old self-help classic "How to be Your Own Best Friend" cause I'm certainly not that.

Keep up the good work everyone - keep logging days!!

UKBlonde,

I just wanted to thank you for this thread it was a bit of a life saver for me this month, that might sound a bit meladromatic but when I needed a bit of support it was always there for me. I so appreciate your determination and focus, and even when you don't get it right you keep coming back and trying again, you truly are inspirational - I wonder if you see yourself like that ? Thank you

I'm sorry Dewdrop but I've been in turmoil, and have been drinking again whilst struggling with Baclofen, as well as my usual tools. I am so happy you've found so much from my little thread. I feel a bit useless at the moment and I'm actually very touched, to the point of tears that I've helped you. I don't feel worthy right now.

Please take strength from this, I so want you to.

Yes I've had drinking dreams too during sobriety. They are a normal thing to have but they can be very disturbing. I used them as reminders of where not to go again. Glad you have more days under your belt.

UKB,

Please don't feel useless and unworthy because you definately are not.

I am sure that you have no idea how much you impact on so many people on this site, I know because I have read all your posts since I registered on this site and while I accept all your difficulties I too know how difficult the whole journey is: I and many people on this site seek out you and many others because you touch us and we can relate to your story.

Can you turn the turmoil around and start to get back to normality - I really hope you can turn things around for yourself.

Dewdrop :h

Just completed another 48 and hoping for another 48 AF hours. I wake up feeling like I never want to drink again but around 3pm the evil thoughts start taking over. I went to a play last night and had a hard time concentrating on it. I kept thinking, I do want a drink, no, I don't want a drink, over and over again. I can't believe the change in mindset that happens. Hoping to win the battle against the thought demons today. Wish you all success too!
