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

Hello everyone!
Well... After slowly falling back to my old ways ( before I fall more )... I am back to the thread and my wonderful support group!!! I am happy to see many new faces and many positive stories.

No awful episode... No drunken fighting...not even hung over today... Just back to a bottle a day and I do not see anything positive with that.

Looking forward to catching up with all!
Enough.

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

Hi Everyone. Good to be back again. I have just been away travelling for two nights and having to stay in hotels with bars. I am delighted to say no problems at all so far ! I managed to sit in the bar on both evenings and enjoy glasses of blackcurrant and lemonade and an occasional britvic 55. Great feeling going to bed AF and now getting sound nights sleep. The first three nights were the worst whilst the crap was coming out of my system. I really don't want to go through that bit anymore so I am trying to stay off the poison. Sometimes I think it would be nice to just have one glass of good wine, but no way.

I realise after 7 days that I am coming to a vulnerable stage so possibly the next few days will be the hardest. Glad to see that everyone on here is really working hard to stay off it as well. Keep it up everyone.

Hello
i also need help now on day 3 but I have to really concur it this time I can't relapse again but it's hard when everyone else drinks and they think you should be able to control it or the effect of it

Merry! Did you get my PM
I know it is hard but think how much better you will be tomorrow with one more night AF. I keep reminding myself that I dont want to be on AF1 again. I dont want to start again and I dont want to have to come here and say that I failed. I really really wanted to have a glass today even thought I could share a bottle with my husband but the reality is that I wont be able to stop at just one and I need to admit that.
I hope you stay strong and know that we are here.

Hi Merry

Keep positive. You may feel bad, but you'll feel worse if you have the drink. Think positive that you have found the key to get out of the prison. Do you really want to step back in there ? Having that drink will be exactly that. All that one drink will do for you know is make you feel bad.. and you'll have wasted those three days. If it's any help to you, I still think about trying just one, but I know that if I do then I will be back to where I was...and worse. Not only that, I spent three days feeling rough and getting the poison out of my system and I don't want to go through that again. Believe me, if I can do this then so can you. I spent the last ten years or so on around two bottles of wine a day and waking every day feeling rough. What a waste of a life ! Personally I never felt better than now, so please think of that before you put that glass to your lips. Good Luck !

Hi

How is everyone doing this weekend ? Wasted a whole two days. I went and bought a new computer to make myself feel good and the damned thing was faulty so after transferring all my files, I had to strip it all down again and take it back ! Still it took my mind of things like drinking. Day 9 today and it's getting easier, however not a time to be complacent about things. The only thing is I wish I could sleep better even though I am trying to go to bed later so I am a little more tired. I suspect it hasn't got anything to do with alcohol. Maybe I need to just be more active now and tire myself out.

Another week of being away in hotels should test things once again, however I am growing more and more confident as the days passed. My head is telling me that if I can do it for 9 days then I can do it for another 9 and more.

Please keep in touch everyone. Talking on this thread has given me so much help and I hope it is the same for you too.

hey timpin

well i had 4 drinks on friday, son took me out for dinner. after 11 days and i did that but god the hangover was horrible and that was 4 drinks, not 2 bottles. daughter came over and had 2 half wines with soda water on saturday. nothing on sunday and work today still feeling human. Avoided this site all weekend lol but what can i do, if i dont get back on and do this with the help of this site then i know i will be drinking like a fish again in a matter of time. So day 2 here for me and am happy with my lot in life at the moment.

I am sleeping like a log now. Found i had to drink less coffee as it was keeping me awake so down to one cup now. The nerves will get better Merry. I found on friday when i had those 4 glasses i woke up with the tremors really bad. cld not believe it but today is fine.

Hello all,

I had a break from AF for a few days while celebrating my 11th wedding anniversary ( on the Nov 11th too ... ha) - We went to Italy wehere although I drank mostly prosecco, I paced myself, I took the time to enjoy the food and drank plenty of water. Slept well and did not miss anything because I was too drunk to move. In the past I would have guzzeled it down and had at least one morning written off.

I am not going to kid myself that I can carry on moderating - back to AF - new goal - make it till Sunday, then think hard, do I really want 2 glasses of red with the roast???

Take care and have a great week
