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

Hello Lucky!
I am here! Today is my day 7! It has been a long hard week. I started this thread to find the strength to make this happen for myself. I am so fortunate to have found the support I needed here. I hope we can help you get to a better place too. My road ahead is going to be full of incredible challanges; the same for everyone else here. Hopefully many minds together will make it easier. Just when you don't know quite what to do... (other then go for the cork) someone comes up with a solution.

I encourage you to read the thread from the beginning; it will take some time.

Please join us.
Enough!

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

One week ago tonight. I was already half drunk by this time. Continued to party with my drinking buddy, went to her house down the street danced swam had a good ol time. no kids, no husbands around... Perfect! Several bottles of wine later and no left drove down the block... Thankfully not killing myself and leaving my boys and husband to deal with my mess... But found my way to bed. Of course none of this I remember. I had to check the next mornng to see if I remembered my car found I hit our other car in the driveway. Different variations of this same pathetic story have happened over the past 15 years. Somehow someway the lightbulb finally went off...

NO MORE! I came up with "Enough" after I though of that movie with Halle Berry where she kicks the shit out of her abusive ex? Husband.

Well. I am kickin the shit out of my abusive habit.

Enough!

awesome getting through day 1, boozer!! have a gorgeous day 2 sunday.
welcome this way out!!
and really nice to hear from you, july-- thank you so much for the support.

i've just awoken to day 5 and feel so relieved and proud to have made it to another day. it seems like a long time since i've had a drink. it feels like the past.
this site has been my life line and i'm once more very grateful.

was reading back and saw the celeb. post not tonight added a couple of days ago.
one guy said that when he was was quitting he would sometimes look at a beer and reminisce about the fun, partying days, then he'd remind himself that he'd used up that right. he'd done a full life's worth of drinking between 14 and 27.

same here!! i stretched it out a bit farther. i did at least one whole life's full of drinking between 14 and 41 and i have had way more than ENOUGH!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone - congrats to Enough and Queenbug - ONE WEEK WHOOP WHOOP!!! :wd::wd::wd:

Lifechange - good job to you too - we're both together on Day 5 and feeling stronger by the day.

Boozer - Fantastic to get to Day 2 - this and Day 3 are the hardest - stick with it and keep your resolve. You can do this!!

And to everyone else here (I'm rubbish at remembering names) we're going to conquer this poison together!! I've never felt this positive before.

Snap.. Queen... Boozer..Life c.... Congrats on progressing to your next day!

It is a beautiful Sunday morning... DAY 8.
Yes it feels like forever since I had a drink. Cravings were low yesterday which was a bonus. It's kind of funny how much longer my evening seems; like someone else said... I added hours to my day. I watched a movie and once again remembered the ending ( novel concept ). My children are calmer and seem better behaved; I am sure my patience level has increased too.

This is what I want them to remember when they think of their Mom!

I am very proud... Talk soon!

I will be checking throughout the day if anyone needs a little push in a certain "un-cork pulling out direction"

Enough!

I'm at the start of my day 3.
Had a great unplanned trip for some shopping with my husband and son.

I did manage to go AF a few years ago for 6 months and haven't since.
I think what really made me snap this last time was that Friday morning husband and I were laying in bed about to get up and ready for the work day and I felt like poop! Had been drinking for 3 days straight and tried to hide it from him. And then he said that I needed to quit drinking is was affecting my son and our marriage, he said that if I couldn't do it alone then he would get me help and he would help me anyway he could.

I know this is going to be a long hard road but this time I feel like I can do this.
I have gained 30lbs over this last few years, I turn 40 in a few months and don't want to be like this.

Everyone keep posting your post help so much!

I made it to day 3, but then yesterday I went to a my friends 50th birthday party and I slipped and drank beer. Probably should have not gone at all or had a plan to leave early. Oh well, back to Day 1. I have to go on a business trip next week, maybe that will make it easy or harder, I am not sure. Looking forward to getting to Day 7, then Day 30, then .... TWO

35 hours

Hi everyone! Well, as soon as I got done posting yesterday, I dumped the sangria and some sweet vermouth I had -- (yukky but I've gone to it in a pinch) -- bleh. Then I went out and washed my car to keep the dangerous dinner time hours kind of occupied. So far I'm 35 hours AF. I'll be checking back in a bit. I'm trying to order the book and CDs, having a little trouble with PayPal. BTW, how do you get the little "mood" thingy to show up with your post? I guess mine would say: "I'm hopeful." Thanks all! Have a sweet and safe Sunday! LMS :h

End of day 7

Hi guys,

I just got back home, i am tired after 6 hours in the car with a non stop chatter box driver, my friend - male friend , same age as me who regalled me with the stories of his worst 3 hangovers. God i could have buried him with my own.

Normally i would have gotten home and poured a drink to relax after the drive.

But i got my ultra virgin mojito and hung out outside with the dog and my 2 kittens.

Enough, kids and dogs are so alike, they feed off your energy. We're all so mellow.

Good night to you all.
