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

Hiya everyone

Since my last posting on the 28/9 I stayed AF .... yesterday my best friend had some major upset and THATS all I needed to get myself emotional and weak !!!! I went straight to the bottle store and bought 2 bottles of my very favourite wine !! I came home sorted out dinner for all and then went on to drink a whole bottle to myself !!! My hubby watched me closely but I just paid no attention to him and then I passed out on the couch .... I dont remember even coming to bed but I did make it somehow and woke up with a terrible headache this morning... mascara and make up still on and had not even brushed my teeth !!! Yuck !!! My husband asked me this morning what I was thinking and why was I going back to my old ways >>> I feel so ashamed and I have made him a promise that I wont do it again ! I hope that I can keep this promise !!! ! I dont know if I will ever be able to moderate as I just need to see the end of the bottle before I stop ... I am afraid of this !!! I believe all of you when you refer to the supplements as helping !!! I will continue to take them but yesterday I forgot as I was in a huge hurry to get to my friend !!! So for today I too am back to day 1 !!!A big welcome to all the new folk and :thanks: to all the regulars for staying and trying so hard to keep everybody connected !!!! Shue , enough , Juja, mby,snap ect ... I need you all !!! :l Merlot ... stay with us and you will see that you can do it !!! Get those supplements ! :lwellspun .... well done for taking the plunge !!! I hope you are a big rugby fan ??? Sunday sees us up against one another !!! I am Scottish but live in South Africa and am married to an Italian.... a lot of rugby fever in my life !! Sorry for sending such a long post ... feeling crap at the moment but I know from previous experience that things can only get better !!! Have a Fab Friday everyone !!! :l and :h to all xxxxx from Noxy

Another evening looms

Noxy, sorry I know that I am just a day away, there is always a reason I can find in my life to drink, sad, happy, angry drink and I suffer the same need to see the bottom of the bottle, also in the southern hem so of course the rugby will be an excuse to..... drink. Some of my thoughts today, I am spending a fortune on reddness solution cream for my face, why don't I just stop drinking, I slather body cream because of the Dehydration from drinking just stop, spend most days running 6km with a hangover to curb my increase of waist- line, directly linked to the booze? all this to achieve 2 or 3 hours of oblivion!!!! What a waste of time! Fingers crossed I can figure out what to do with my arms to sleep tonight!!

Hello all!

Feelin good today and ready to make good choices this weekend. Had a glass of champagne with a client and a glass of wine at home, but stopped! Big improvement for me.

ST... YOU conquered day 1 because of YOU.. We all need a little support and hand holding along the way. Awesome job and I hope you had success today.

Noxy... We missed you girl! Sorry to hear about your slip up ( I slipped too ). The important thing is you are back and determined. I am here for you!!!!

Enough!

Merlot... I want to help, but I think you may want to consider partnering with your Dr if you are experiencing wierd things. I never tried anything detox prescription wise so I have no advice. There are other forums here on MWO that may be more helpful with that sort of info.

Please stay strong and maybe just try to cut a little down each day. If you had a half bottle already... Sip the rest throughout the remainder of the day. Sorry I am not an expert by any stretch.

Good luck!

I have just found this site and it is giving me a little
hope. I'm very afraid of what is going to happen
to me if I don't stop drinking. It just gets worse
and worse.

AF - Day 2!!!!

To everyone.. this is only day 2 for me but I feel amazing! Slept properly for the first time I can remember in the last 2 years. Dressed and looking forward to my run with no hangover and the kids bickering in the bed this morning didn't feel like the jack-hammer it usually does.. we all need to stick with this! I can't believe how quickly you start to feel better after you give up. Nervous of the rugby aand boredom kicking in, will have to keep reminding me how good I felt now, although I know it won't be so easy with the lure of 5pm wine o'clock looming! Cheers for now.....

Morning all ,

Thanks S T for your input >>> I have a lot in common with you it seems ..... I also run and swim and anything else that helps me burn off the calories and clears my head !!! I have discovered the sauna at gym really helps with the detoxing too !Try adding the omega 3 6 9 to your diet. AL is so bad for your skin but you will notice a difference after a week or so . Enough ..... thanks for keeping our thread going and for all the good advice . Lav .... I admire your tenacity ! Ann ... welcome to this special thread !!! Merlot..... things will get better ... try a bit of light excerise and get out and away from any AL in the morning !!! We have all allowed AL to take over our lives and its time to take charge again >>> baby steps for now ! I am watching Wales / Ireland play rugby >>>> great battle going on !! :television: Hope everyone has a super Saturday >>> :l:wavin::groupluv: from noxy

I will be joining you! I am oh so tired of trying not to drink. I was in a 6 week inpatient program about 13yrs ago. can do this with all your support. I will be online for a while just reading old posts. Some that I have already read are very inspiring...

A super rainy good morning today! Another day without a hangover drank some wine yesterday night but not overboard. I also started reading the book Kick the Drink by Vale. I will let you know what I think of it as I read more.

Lots of action going on here at conquering...

A warm welcome to Ann and Silhouette... Stick around we are happy to have you here.

Lav... Your commitment to helping others on MWO is admirable!

ST... I read your post last might right before going to bed and it made me smile. Super congrats on a successful day 2!

Nox.. How are you doing?

Merlot... Just read your posts... Sounds pretty typical withdrawal. Do your best to ride the waves.. Drink lots of water and deep breaths... Best of luck.

I will be checking in through the day.
All the best...
Enough!

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

Hello.....I came across this by accident. I also drink wine., have 3 kids...youngest is not even 5 months....wine has been my way of having 'me' time i spose. Always drank with friends etc, way of life really but for me it became a way of organising life so i could drink too much. Even at home id drink a bottle of wine to cure me from the last binge.....i can not drink but cant stop once i do....maybe thats in my head tho...this morning i woke up annoyed and tired...baby kept me up last night and partner had come home late as out working....ive now opened a bottle of red which made me find the site....id already realised my drinking was affecting my family and relationship and havent drank anything in 3 weeks...but because of my mood and the fact that there was wine in the house and i was alone....im drinking it...surprise surprise!!! Ive been getting more done since stopped drinking past few weeks....made two new friends too! Am probably more outgoing in normal life when havent been drinking....felt good at first then oh so tired! keeping up with the 3 kids, school etc has been monotenous to say the least.... been walking the dogs to get some air and alone time but still succumbed to wine minute the opportunity arose and i was feeling bad Anyway...Hi. Id love to join in and chose this thread as enough sounded a bit like me.....thanks

Day one for me, day one of the rest of my AL Free life hopefully!

Athome... Welcome to the thread! It is so easy to find a reason to open a bottle ( especially when you add a couple kids). I am working towards remembering all the reasons not to open a bottle or when I choose to drink not finish a bottle or open another. It is a challenge.

The support here is really great. It is so helpful to be in touch with a group of people who understand what you are going through.

Keep posting!

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

One thing I want to say is this... I am not a victim. Alcohol is not in charge. I am in charge. It is my decision whether I drink or not. My choice. The wine does not open itself up and pour itself down my throat.

Bad or good choices... They are MY choices.

E!
