Tricky Day 6

Day 2 is on my side!!! Slept well from 2 a.m. - 9.30 a.m. with small interraptions. Actually when i don't drink i sleep better and in the morning i don't have this huge anxiety..That's is another reason to stop drinking. The problems which i have to solve seems not like a end of world like wheni wake up after night drinking. And not only night..sometimes i started to drink during the day - slowly but till the end of the day i finished 2 bottles of wine which is crazy when i think about it when i'm sober...ull

Do you have any health shops or sports stores in your country?The reason I ask is that L-Glut isn't sold in pharmacies even here(I don't think it is anyway). It's usually sold as a sports supplement next to protein powders, creatine that sort of thing. Just an idea.

Thanks Ukblonde!! It's really idea to check Glutamin in sport or health stores - if they have, prices etc.

How are you???

Tricky Day 6

I have today sudden mood swings - from sleepiness to anxiety and getting angry..
Probably it's normal.. Did my yoga, cleaned a little bitmy flat , made pumpkin soup .etc
After meal i feel better, actually i feel all time hungry.. i know about sugar level in blood, glucose etc. that's why i'm trying to eat when i want. Overweight i really don't have (of course i'm not so skinny how i was 5 years ago - i saw my 40 birthday pics - i was so fit... but i had normal life style in normal country..) Yes, my next goal after AL issue is to get fit and perfect how i was.. i know i have to be realistic - i'm turning 45 in 3 months - but i still feel young... Despite AL problem..

I'm sure your state of mind will settle as your body begins to recover.

hi bugalugs!!!

How was your Day 7???

My day 2 is almost finished and successfuly.. Yes, i like to drink water a lot normally so for me it's easy..My daughter is making fun of me that in desert for me could be a problem to survive.. I can share and give last piece of the food but if during the travel water is almost finished i get stingy with my bottle

Sleep well!!!

Tricky Day 6

When money stands in the way of doing what you feel would help improve our situation, it's hard. I used to have big money issues and now I am very comfortable. It's easy to take what i have for granted but thanks for reminding me about how tough it can be. Today I donated boxes of clothes to the store where I used to shop to clothe my family. I drank last night. Sorry. Sorry to you and sorry to me. We had a little party here. We live at a little Cottage in Quebec and we have a nice hot tub and every weekend our friends and family come over and you know what happens. You know I did something last night that surprised me. Even though I was drinking wine, half way through the evening I stopped and slowly drank about 6 large glasses of lemon water. Then I had a few more sips of wine but went to bed sober. Just thought of that.. Hopefully I will be better this week.

You are really trying and that's all that matters. Keep eating well and drinking water. Can you do some yoga on your own? Maybe if you have a bath you could fill it with hot water and make bubbles.. I use dish detergent and it's fine. Have a nice cup of tea in the bath with low lights or candles. Then put some nice lotion on and get all cozy watching TV or with a good book. Nice cup of tea.... sure sounds better than drinking.

Take care and be strong... send some strength to me please.

Hi Tips!!! Thank you for posting and thinking of me!!! Yes, i tought about you yestarday...
I'm sorry for you that you "slipped' but in the same time you tried to save situation and did it!!
You were alert about situation!!!
And i know now that drinking can be caused both ways - from desparation and sorrow and from joy and wish to have more euphoria..
I have expierienced both ways..Now is the "dark side" period and i addmited myself that AL actually deepens my sorrow..It stops me to move on..I live for a long time in the past..

I read article which Sheri posted in Forum (Just starting out) "Early Recovery", i suggest you to read too..A little bit scary but very precise and in cold blood...

My Day 3. Yes, Tips, i do yoga by myself. I'm happy that during period of welfare i invested money in yoga studies and now i can use it... Do you do some exercises or running?
I like aromatherapy which i studied by myself - just reading books and experimenting
I make at home my body oils from base oil and essential oils, adding essentials in candle, face creams, bath etc.
At the moment i like greipfruit, sandalwood, patchouli, rose..

So i wish you a clear mind today!!! Walk in fresh air, enjoy your nice house without AL (i'm living in a small flat without tub, but i believe that one day i will have my nice home too). If you have possibility (Sunday!!!) take a relaxing massage!!!

Write me later!!!:l

Dear Audrey,

You have done well to take the first steps to stop drinking. I hope today goes well and that you are feeling fine. If you drink lemon juice with water it helps flush your organs.

Best to you.

Dear Gaia!! I like your signature!!! It's sounds for me like a short plan for me now thanks
For a long time i lived in past, didn't plan future and yes, sometimes lived in present when i was not so drunk... Sad, but true..
Yes, today i'll complete my Day 3.. Had carvings from 5 p.m. - aprox. 8 p.m.
Now i feel tired and have some kitchen work to do

I am here and alive and kicking. I, too made soup, chicken soup and it turned out great. I wonder if anyone knows whether one can order Topomax online to be delivered to Canada. My Doctor does not think i need it. But he does not see the way the wine bottle talks to me.... calls me, beckons me...
