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

Glad to have you here Mum! :welcome:

Queen, tea is a great idea. I was sipping tea the first few nights but haven't in the past week. I've been sitting here tonight thinking 2 weeks have passed and damn, I want a drink tonight. Think I'll make myself some tea instead.

Hi Mum!

Enough!

Tea would have been a good idea. I just ate an entire tub of Haagen Daz Cookiedough ice cream! Tonight I am just going to deal with getting through Day 2. Tomorrow I will worry about overeating. It isn't quite as easy as I thought it would be.....

Off to make some peppermint tea.

To hell with the food. I just ate butter pecan ice cream and I don't eat sweets!

@ shue, it's okay just pick up and keep going which it sounds like you are god knows how many slips I've had-usually five days is the point for me when the memories fade enough for me to try it again! I have an interlock in my car due to DUI's so fortunately I have driven drunk since before my daughter (I have 3 DUI's already by age....27/28) I'm almost 33 now. I found out I was pregnant with my daughter when I was in jail for the last one-what a story to tell her when she gets older. I was sober for a year after that.
@enough that sounds like a great sunday
@mstall it'll get better, the last time I made it 19 days I actually started going to bed super early after the first week-catching up on all the sleep I lost drunk!
@mom welcome!
Still fine, haven't taken any antabuse since sat, but I try and give it a few days in between. I have gained almost four pounds already lol...oh well. I had huge cravings today as I had an uncomfortable meeting with a coworker, and when it was done I immediately wanted to go home and drink some wine. So I went for a swim at the gym instead and now I'm sitting here with my tea typing!
I have been drinking so much water it's not funny, perhaps from the antabuse, or my body has been dehydrated for a long time! Either way it's better than drinking all that alcohol!
Have a great night all

The bottles getting bigger and cheaper so I can talk myself into believing I don't have a problem. Guess what .... I am a Alcoholic! there I said it. Now I have the huge job of fixing it. Threw out the mostly empty 1.5 L left from yesterday. Big step.... Hid the corksrew and decanter and wine picture. I may be insane, but I believe can do this?

Now have to go shopping NOT buy wine and make it to day 2.
A little scared of day 2. Support welcomed.
Enough! :new:

Yip me - I'm conquering it with you - NO wine here!

Helo all,

It's been a few days since I checked in. It's not that I was avoiding coming here, we have been away, taking the children to their grandparents and then out of town with work. Last time I wrote I was worried about a diner I had last Friday night with a couple that I find hard not to drink with. Well I did not manage to get through the evening without drinking, which I am very disappointed about. However I have not had a drink since, and feel very strong in my resolve to give up alcohol for good. I don't know what it is about this couple, but they are weak spot for me. A couple of days before we went out I considered cancelling, but my husband did not want to, and as we had not seen them in an while and they are leaving for Shri Lanka for three weeks I did not. I went into the evening without a plan, and as they say "fail to plan, plan to fail". I don't like drinking any more. The benefits are so far outweighed by the consequences. Plus that, age does not mix well with drinking, and I don't want to age like an old drunk.

I need to sit down later and read through the past 4 days to catch up. I hope everyone is having a good start to the week, and I am glad to be back.

Hello NotTonight...I was wondering where you were...glad you are ok. I think that you did well to just leave it at that one night....it is so very hard isn't it!
I can definately relate to that 'don't want to age like an old drunk'!
Stick with it...stay close xx

Morning all!

I have a pretty busy week which helps with not drinking but doesnt allow me to catch up on the posts here!

I'm looking forward to Thursday and Friday night when i can join in more.

Have a great sober Tuesday! Conquered 2 days, ready for day 3!

Day 3 for me as well. "Conquered" days one and two about sums it up! Day one was a battle with a hangover, day two a battle with longings for wine already...but those are in the past and today is a new day full of promise. I hope it's a little easier, but if not, I'm ready! Bring it on, day 3, give it your best shot! I am going to come out of this day AF no matter what it takes! I'm in battle mode!

And another on Day 3. I plan to keep busy and productive and wind down this evening with a bubble bath, peppermint tea and maybe 30 minutes of yoga - not scotch! Onward I go.
