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

morning all

well woke up to day 5 with the shakes and feeling like i had a massive hangover but i dont so still lots of crap to come out of this body of mine. have not gone 5 days in 15 yrears + so i am pretty pleased with myself.

mya congrats on day 3 just keep singing tonight so u will need lots of water lol, hope u have a great voice to drive everyone nuts.

kwik i normally come home, go for a walk, then go on computer like i used to but go on this site for hours just looking at threads, i also do fb. i am thinking of getting tht exercise ball out tht my clothes sit on and doing that as like u i feel a bit lost but not lost enough to go to the bottle shop. like u i am awake until some ungodly hour and dont sleep much but i said to myself last night, at least u wont wake up with a hangover. mind u felt like i did this morning. i am starting to organise the house and get rid of unwanted crap in drawers etc but one at a time. god i even did 3 load of washing when i got home from work yesterday and thought wtf lol. not much advice on your trip but i would take your drink with you and wear a blindfold. prentend u r asleep when the drinks trolley passes.

timpin well u r now day one and congrats. just keep on this site. when i decided to give up drinking i searched the net and found this site which said give up drinking for november and it was the 1/11/11 so that was my day, must have been an omen. i had left some wine on the table meanin to throw it out and when i got home my son had put it in the fridge, i got it out and tipped it down the sink, felt sad but invigorated at the same time, then i put them walking shoes on and headed out the door. one of my bottleshops is connected to my supermarket but i just dont look and actually i dont want to look. you just need to keep on this site reading reading reading.

summer u go girl, day two here we come. i cant believe tomorrow is day 6 and i am hoping tht i get to the stage where i dont remembeer what day it is. had an email off my sisterinlaw this morning saying she cant wait to come in december for a drink. i am thinking OMG but it will be past my 30 days and maybe my mind might know what tht word MODERATION means. I am going to give it a go and see and if not i'll b back to day 1 but i wil know that i have done something that i never ever would have done before.

have a great day guys, my novel is done
xx

Hi Guys

I am sat here drinking my way through my last ever bottle of wine ! I'm not enjoying it really because I have decided that this is the end of the line for alcohol for me. Tomorrow morning, I will wake up as an ex drinker ! To kiwik I sympathise with your situation but perhaps you could 'imagine' you have a stomach ulcer and can't take alcohol ? To available, well done for making 5 days but when your sisterinlaw comes to visit, tell her the same. You have a stomach ulcer and can't have a drink, as much as you would like to !! Just an idea. What do you think ?

Three years ago, I went 24 days without a drink. I was quite happy in my new life, but a 'friend' dragged me out and down to the pub. Result was that I was immediately back on AL. She is an alcoholic and I think she was jealous of how well I was doing ? Anyway, food for thought.

timpin lol did not think of the ulcer but i prefer to be truthful. she was married to my brother who was a chronic alco and has since died. i wld like to drink if my damn mind wld understand moderation but we will see. if i feel strong enough then i wil have a drink, still have till december 10th to decide that one. Just remember it is up to you whether you drink, no one else puts a glass in your hand except for you. i look at my wine glass sitting all lonely in the cupboard and unused and think you can stay there for now.

available. This is going to sound extremely stupid but you have just given me an idea ! For years now I have only drunk wine from goblets...so I am going to break them tomorrow morning and put them in the recycling bin. Alcoholics sometimes do the most stupid things ?

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

i call them buckets not goblets lol. if u feel the need to break them then do. i loved my glass so cant break her, she was a great friend. she is a couple of shelves up now though. Oh i cant begin to tell you the stupid things i have done. I was chatting to my son last night and he said "so i wont have to put u to bed now mum", broke my heart but my answer was no son you wont but life is what you make it and i have not made it very nice in the last few years

GOAL: day 6

I'm going there next ! I have done lots of stupid things as well. Arranging everything around drinking. It meant I couldn't do things with my family and take them out as I was too far gone on the wine. Had to get home early so I could drink. How selfish.. and do you know what ? My family still love me ! I feel so ashamed. What good reasons to stop.

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

yes i can totally relate to that one. oh no i cant go out i am busy, yes busy drinking. i messaged my daughter today and told her i ws day 5. she messaged back saying "WOO WELL DONE MOTHER. I BET U FEEL BETTER FOR IT AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, I LOVE YOU" now if that does not give me incentive then what does, but i am still doing this for me. my family have always been here too and put up with the excuses and not fair on them really. dont feel ashamed, feel proud that you are finally doing something. I am proud as hell at the moment.

Yup, Day 3 down, hip-hip-hooray (she says with a smirk), but I feel blue. It's not because I can't have a drink, because I really don't want one. That will come later--I'm not fooling myself. I just feel sad, and a bit anxious. I think it's my life right now. Thank you for the encouragement, Dear enough; I'm not unappreciative.

Tomorrow's another day, right?

Congrats to all, and keep on keepin' on.:l
