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

    Dumping the wine right now

    Hi, This is my first post. I've read many of the stories on this thread and it was like ... deja vu. I drink at least a bottle of wine per night. And I've got one waiting for me. I usually start around 3 or 4 pm and drink til it's gone. So ... my little plan for some summer-time sangria tonight is history. I'm starting my first 24 h AF as you guys call it. I'm at about hour ... 15 or so. And after I finish this post I willl go dump the sangria. I'll use the fruit I bought in some sparkling water instead. One of the biggest hindrances for me to stop drinking has been that I am alone so much of the time. My husband travels. But now that I have found these forums, I will have something better to do with my time than drink. Thanks, and I'll check back in later. LMS

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

      :welcome: I've found it really helps to spend time reading and sharing here...I'm just finishing day 6 and its been really tough sometimes...just being able to see some of the struggles and successes helped me with the huge sense of isolation that I've felt...I'm also alone a lot when I'm not at work.
      stay strong and stay close...it does help...

      Big love x
      ...peace and quiet....and a cup of tea.....heaven:h

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

          Welcome Mya and Little Miss Sunshine! I joined this week, too - and this thread has been a lifesaver! Today is my Day 17... and this thread has kept me going this weekend. I had a stressful Friday and Saturday, and I actually thought, "Whatever... drown the stress..." and then I thought about all of you working the same problem, and I kept on being AF. A bottle of wine doesn't help anything, and just makes life so much worse. That little monster wine voice is a sneaky one- but I'm wiser now than that poisonous voice. Little Miss Sunshine - dump the sangria. I got rid of everyting, and it was a good move! Then I stocked the fridge with 8-10 new, interesting AF beverages I can quicky grab. After 17 days AF, my skin looks better, I have an unreal amount of energy, and I have lost 7 pounds! Each day gets a little easier! Keep going everybody!:wave:

              If the fruit has soaked in wine toss it.

                DWP...17 days! Bloody well done mate!!! I call it the red wine monster too...and I've got a piece of turquoise thread around my wrist that I fiddle with when I'm struggling and it reminds me of these threads and friends which have also been my lifeline...90 minutes until the start of Day 7 for me!

                  i don't know what time it is out there for everyone-
                  not tonight, i hope you're deep asleep in your cozy bed!!
                  CONGRATS on day 7, enough!! i'm shouting as loud as i can at almost midnight!
                  you too, queen for day 6!!
                  and snap for day 4!
                  and done with for day 17!! wow.

                  and i hope the sangria is long sinced washed down the drain! fruit with sparkling water is a great idea! with a splash of juice mmmm.

                  and i'm so thrilled that more and more people are signing on!
                  stocking the fridge with delicious alternatives is awesome.

                  i also made some deliicious popsicles--super flavorful and some very sour.

                  i find that eating pickled/sour foods helps to diminish the desire to drink wine. i even bought some pickled herring wrapped around onion and pickle. didn't want anything after eating that!!

                  anyway i also have so much energy i don't know what to do with myself. and my stomach isn't nearly so bloated. just after 4 days-- almost into day 5!!!

                  until tomorrow. stay strong all of you who still have the witching hour.

                    Good evening everyone,
                    Every time I check in there are new faces, really wonderful!

                    QB Thanks for the encouragement, the monster has moved on.

                    Enough - I think I posted this somewhere else about husbands/partners. I think it may be almost as hard for them to admit there is a problem as it is for us. Mine will never understand, I will just add this to the list of things he will never get.

                    Mya and Littlemisssunshine welcome! The more the merrier.

                    Well I am off to bed after a some what exhaustive struggle this evening. Suppose it is to be expected. There will be cravings, the priority is to learn how to conquer them. This forum is a powerful tool. Thank you to you all.

                      Day 6 over....one hour ago

                      Guys, let me tell you, you were an inspiration and the salvation today. Every time i Saw the red light flashing on my bberry i knew it was a post from you. I read them all through the longest 1st birthday party ever and they kept me from drinking.

                      I did not even have to put salt in, i raised my glass over and over and drank none of it. I smelled the sauv blanc and then i put it down. My sister in law gave me a lot of grief, not drinking in the health of her daughter but i pretended not to hear it.

                      Then we went to their place - amaretto was promptly put in my hand. I left it there and went for their pool. Later, my sister arrived with prosecco, i knew it was useless to fight with her but ended up throwing it in the pool.

                      Although i felt like Mr. Bean trying to hide his steak tartar, I ACTUALLY HAD FUN AT AN ALL DAY PARTY AND HAD ZERO AL. It is a very first for me.



                      Finally arrived home at midnight, my dad offered me a nightcap, said no, of course and went to chat some more on the porch.
