    Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

    This is all very familiar!

    Merry... Ginger ... Thanks for posting and best of
    Luck in your continued success. Deja vu here as I managed to cut WAY back the past 2 days and enjoyed the typical cutting back Sleep ( not so great ). Hangover free once again today... Yeh! Now is the planning and committing to that plan part.

      Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

      Hi all,

      Count me in! 5 weeks today... This time 5 weeks ago was nursing a heck of a hangover (again), having finished one heck of bender for my 34th birthday. I decided it was time to clean up and find out what I really can achieve without having my whole life revolve around the stuff. So here I am.

      My recovery plan has involved plenty of visits here, lots of reading posts, both for those in early days like me and those who've been working it successfully for much longer. Taking the Kudzu supplements, as well as Melatonin and Valerian to help me get some precious sleep. Also about 1000 gallons of coffee (I figure I'll deal with that whole substitution issue shortly!!)

      best wishes to all, we can do this!

                  Hi Enough,

                  How's it going today ?

                  Remember the time you tapered down drinking less and less until eventually you got to zero drinks?

                  Could this be one of those times? Just thinking.

                  Check in anyway ... I am here for you

                    Good luck to you, Enough - I'm new here, so just trawling and getting to know everyone. On Day 7 today, and just really tired. Keep forgiving yourself, because that frees you to try again!

                    Fly, could I ask what your plan/program is? What are you doing that is keeping you going?

                      I wish I could give you an answer. I've tried and failed several times. L-glutamine helped with my cravings very much the first time I tried. I read Jason Vale's Kick the Drink Easily and found that it really helped change my thinking. I think the book was monumental in me becoming sober. I was also afraid this time because of some health symptoms. I don't really know why, but something is different this time; like a switch has been thrown and I am just done with AL.

                        Thanks for the reply Fly - I keep hearing so much about this book that I really think I must order it! I'm still busy reading MWO itself (she makes it seem so easy - but this forum doesn't reflect that - wonder what is different?), and I just received the Allan Carr book. Hoping that by soaking up all this stuff continuously it will sink in very deep and stay stuck!

                          Its a long time since I read the MWO book, I like the Alen Carr book I will try and root it out and read it again. I think the Jason Vale one is good too except for his idea that everyone who drinks is addicted to alcohol, which I cant actually get my head round, another problem I have is obssesing about these detail that dont really matter. Anyway Im back on day 2 not, I had 6 months AF taking antabuse then I know I had it in my mind to drink again because I started missing pills then drank last week for 6 days. I caused so much upset with my family was blacked out for most of the week so I cant even say I enjoyed it and now I feel like hell. I can honestly remember feeling like I wanted to die. So here I am starting again. We can get sober better lives together

                            I'm back after some success with moderation but dealing with constant booze obsession ( how much can I drink, how fast can I drink, what days can I drink,,,) that I once again have to start total abstinence or I know I'll be right back to my old self..... Even though I did not dive off deep end again I know that's where I am heading if I do not stop all consumption now,,,,I just left excellent dinner party with outstanding food and all I could focus on was the open bar, ,,it was bad but I did leave because I was panicked I would not be able to stop later if I didn't stop right now..... I fear my past, I fear booze and tonight I ran from it....I am home in bed in a booze less apartment by myself before 9 because I am that scared...thanks for letting me share

                                Hi Clockwatcher and NC - same thing here - modding led to a constant obsession - is it time yet? Can I have a drink yet? On weekends, when was too early? How much was ok to stock up? And then it all went to hell for modding from there. Week one cravings suck though... Oh well - this to shall pass
                                That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
                                Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.
