Hi timpin congrats on day 2. yes i wake up with tremors still and last night was my first bad dream but have not been sleeping good. feel like u have been run over by a steam roller or have a bad hangover i reckon. The good thing is it isnt a hangover its our bodies getting rid of the shit we have put in. i have not had a good day today been down but not wanting alcohol think wanting sleep. keep going and stay strong

day 7 tomorrow

Hi Available

Hope the day has gone well for you. It has got better for me as the shakes have worn off and I have been really enjoying sipping orange and soda. Went for a short walk and spent the rest of the day reading Jason Vales Kick the drink easily. I really do think ( and hope) that I have found the key with this ! So full of really good stuff.

I am staying away from home tomorrow night, in a hotel so that will be a good test of my resolve sitting in a bar watching other poison themselves ! Good luck with day 7 and stay in touch.

mornin timpin
made it to day 7 thank god and actually slept well and woke up with sight shakes and not that head heavy feeling that i have had for the past week. was a long day yesterday.

Maybe u shld not sit and watch ppl drink lol. maybe a nice walk or something like that. it wld definitely test my resolve but hey its them poisoning themselves and not us.

had kids over yesterday so that was a boost and they are all pleased with me so that keeps me going. but hi ho i am off to work now

have a great day and be strong

Good hangover free morning everyone,

This time last week I was in bits, nursing a hangover that seems to grow worse by the hour. I really do not want to go back to that place .. EVER.

I spent the whole weekend butchering a whole (wild raised pig) with friends ? we made hams , sausages, brawn ? needless to say they all drank ? I stuck to my perrier and a few beers. Last night however we roasted the pork belly and the richness of it all triggered the little monster.

Enough ?. I though of you and I thought of Jason Vale and did this: I tried white wine with an open mind - it was horrible, I could foresee the heartburn coming if I took anymore. Red wine ? I sniffed ? hated the smell, felt no compulsion to sip ? finally Grappa ? took a sip ? had the desired effect of settling my tummy ? took a few more sips and thought of it as medicine, not AL.

Before putting anymore temptation my way ? I made peppermint and ginger tea for everyone ? actually that worked even better to wash away the fatty taste ? Why was it not the first thing I did, instead of sniffing / sipping poison? Because I am used to getting the immediate response from AL ( tea takes time to make and brew)

Available ? I just love your enthusiasm, you are so full of positive energy ? I wanted to join the pool party on the other thread but I have been holding a knife for most of the weekend.

Timpin ? stick to Jason Vale, it made a whole world of difference to me, I do hope you get to feel better soon, but by all accounts it takes 10 days to flush the poison out.

Lilla ? well done so far ? the less you drink the less you?ll miss it

Kiwi ? there with you, busy is good, also the sense of achievement is great. I cook loads, it is my favorite way to relax. I used to do that glass in hand ( preferably Sauv Blanc from Marlborough) - now I know better.

Juja ? sweetie, right behind you, stay close.

Have a great week everyone

Summer failed :upset: Starting over. I didn't drink yesterday! I'm not too hard on myself today. It happens. I have had more days of not drinking this past week than I have in the past, so to me, that is something, I guess!

Shue Sauve blance of any kind i loved, but not missing it. not sure how i would feel being put in the situation you were in, no i do know, i would drink. I am keeping to myself at this stage, well actually i always keep to myself and that is why i drank but i did not go to a party on the weekend as there was AL and i was not ready for it. my family understood so that was good. i need to get to the two week mark i think before i venture into reality. Good on you though for making the tea, but god yes it takes ages for that kettle to boil and to make. so much easier to go to the fridge, unscrew that top and just pour. the hardest thing is getting ice if u have ice in wine.

SS keep going girl and dont be down on yourself, just start again. today is another day of being AF and stay positive. If u get down u will drink if u stay up u will be positive and say no to AL. he is not your friend, we are

Hi

Just came back from the bar, having had some really nice food ! Drank three pints of orange and soda and really enjoyed sat there looking at the beer pumps and the spirits on the wall not wanting any of it. Home tomorrow and hotel again on Wednesday thinking of what nice drinks to try out then ! Lovely to sit here nice ans sober with a clear head writing to you. Withdrawal symptoms seem to be easing a little but still hopeful of a real decent nights sleep.
