Sa... Thank you for your post but I have to clarify... Right now no congrats for me... I have a bottle of red open and I am OK with that. Also came from a bike ride with my son... I feel ok!

Tired of moderating... Tired of thinking about how much I am drinking or not!

I promise to check in and ask for help if needed.

Enough!

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

well hello all i am back again, has been atrocious week for me and now have made the decision to get my head out of my arse and start on day one again. Became too complacent and started to fall back to what i was drinking. bloody bloody bloody stupid me is all i can say.

I can relate to you enough, when does the brain stop thinking about AL. i am back to square 1, day one and now the withdrawals again. but on the positive i am back on track and know my strategies and tools so off we go again. will be on here a lot i can imagine.

Enough, Available

Sorry to hear that the wheels came off for you. It just shows how difficult this journey can be. Available, you're not stupid at all, just found a weak moment which goes to prove how alert we have to be at all times. We have all one thing in common and that is that we have been clever enough to identify the problem we have and to do something about it. We always knew that it was not going to be easy. That little voice inside is there nagging away and just looking for a little doubt in our resolve.

I am now sixteen days AF and it feels great ! I am still getting those voices although no cravings as such. My inner self sometimes tell me that a few nice cold glasses of wine won't do any harm and there's even a little voice telling me to have a few and then I can always start again on day one afterwards. So far I haven't fallen for it and hopefully I won't, but it does demonstrate the danger that we go thruogh. Good luck this time around. You've done it before and will do it again !

Timpin, 16 days is fantastic-I remember I joined MWO same day as you. Keep going strong and don't listen to those voices like I did. I have struggled more, last week very mixed so like you Av, am back on day 1. Enough was good to hear from you and thank you for starting this thread which, when reading back, has a really nice supportive feel to it. Good luck everybody,hope you achieve your daily goals, whatever they may be.

hey timpin congrats, i remember when u first joined and were a tad negative lol. Very proud of what u have achieved and believe me dont have that first drink, it will be the undoing of you. Yes i got to day 11 so i can do it again and i felt sooo much better.

Lil well off we go together on the AF tour. i am determined today to not drink or drink tomorrow. life was so much better and god why the hell do i want a hangover. are they fun, no way. i need to get out of the house when i get home and go for a walk which stopped last week. so fingers crossed and i will of course be posting and reading.

New here.

Not sure how this works but hope I am responding to a post I just read. It is so reassuring to see I'm not alone in this struggle. Have been feeling like everyone else gets treatment and is okay - all done.

Hi narious, you keep chatting and ppl reply. Never think anyone on this site does it easy but it is reassuring to know we are not alone. I went 11 days not drinking which in itself was a miracle to fall off the wagon. back to day one today and still positive that i can conquer AL and no judgment from the guys here only ever encouragement. good luck and keep reading and posting. today at work i have been here as i find when i get home i want to drink so need the right headspace today.

Hey all- back to D1 for me. Had drinks Sat Sun and Monday. Was going to be a tough one as I had a girls spa day and dinner and so I knew I would have a few

Weird though that I know I will not be doing my old ways of drinking- this site has really made a difference. Looking forward to another AF day!

Good to hear that MinStar, you , me and Av are starting out again so wish you all the best. Another day for me where I have been in control and not the dreaded poison!
Timpin, how is it going ? Enough, hope you are still moderating successfully too and happy with your limits.

[MinStar]

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

AF and still going strong. How are you doing Lilla- Glad you have been in control and another day notched up.
Timping, Available and Enough- I hope your day has been AL free and strong.
Still not managed to read Jason Vale book- but hope to get a few pages in.
Witching hour is upon me! I had a fleeting thought of calling my friends and going out- getting a few drinks in.Just because I can when I come to my mum's house. I have babysitters so can meet up after she has gone to sleep. At my house I have no-one to look after Baby so I have given myself a treat of G and T's and Vino! Amazing how this evil works and has entwined itself in me. I am glad I am becoming more aware of how it works and how my thoughts are normal. However, just because they are normal doesnt mean I have to give in to them!
Sorry rambling on. Hope you are good and here's to D1 out of the way for me and another AF day for you lovelies!

This is my 1st day this time, I did once before for 3 months then again for 1 months. Sometimes I feel good, other times I feel terrible, cold headachy. I will not go outside for it will mean I can just go the other way and get AL. So for me the best thing is to stay inside. I will take my dog out soon for her duty walk, but not for long.

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

This is day 18 for me.

God I didn't realise just how powerful this drug AL can be ! After having 18 days AF,my brain has nearly got me convinced to have a few quiet drinks and I am starting to go along with it although I haven't had one just yet. I am sitting in a hotel bar waiting to have my supper and thinking how nice a couple of glasses of wine would be and how relaxed I will feel. I have all of the answers to this but just don't know if I can get through the rest of the evening. Leaving the bar is not the answer. I don't know what the answer is either.
So far i thought this thing was going to be easier than I thought. Now I realise just what others go through and why they crack. I'll let you know what happens.

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

still working on day 1

I too am a wine drinker, tried to go to beer, a few years ago, I could barely choke down one bottle. Then I tried gin and tonic, hoping it would change the cycle and slow me down. I continued to go back to wine.
I would also go to larger bottles, then 3 litres, soon 4 litres lasted on 2.5 days and I was back doing it again.
I would also start as soon as I opened my eyes, if I could not sleep in the early hours of the morning, I would pour a glass.
I decided today was my day, this is my 3rd time to do this, my first time was 2yrs ago for 3 months, then 1 years ago for 1 month. As they say 3rd time is the charm.
So I will also be posting when I feel the need for AL. I am determined to beat it this time. I have no one to blame now but myself.I also have stopped enjoying the taste of wine, until I have had a few under my belt:thumbs:
