Hi

Sorry to hear you both slipped but time to get back on track again ? I think we all know on here that there is no such thing as moderation and if we are realistic, there is no AL for us in the future. I am sat in a bar at the moment with my blackcurrant and soda watching the beer drinkers having their fun and I am quite happy not wanting AL at all. Your situations have been different though because you have both been in social situations. I have not had to deal with family and friends drinking arond me so I don't know what will happen when that situation arises. best of luck though starting again. At least you are starting again which is positive !

It's very hard when everyone around you drink I was going well for 4 mths till we had a family get together
and came completely undone I thought I had all the corners covered but not so
so I'm back to the start again which I thought I would never do

K so I'm new and I'm drinking right now I have been since by belter committed suicide 6 years ago. 8 was a national athlete in 2 sports and I cannot go to meetings in my country because my dad was also a national athlete in 3 sports. 8 am also bulimic and I am really hoping someone of u can help me. I have been seeing doctors for years but in the last 2 years alcohol has been my only friend. Please give me some help I fear the worst!!!

Merry, I feel you. I hadn't had an "episode" in a while so I got all smug and cocky. Then 1 too many jagger bombs, and I don't remember the whole evening. Clearly, I can't moderate or pace myself. Thank God I didn't drive. I can't get that possibility out of my head. How does anyone make it passed day two?!?

Welcome Dals and i hope u can get control of your drinking, you have come to the best place for support and help.

Anna day 2 i woke up shaking and tremors and constipation and god whatever else my body wanted to throw at me, though cant say i blame it. Just keep on here anna and keep reading, i keep this site open at work and at home and if i feel the urge i come on here or go for a walk. The toolbox is a great place for a read also. Even though i had a drink on the weekend i had a glass left last night so i poured it and looked at it and thought WTF am i doing and tipped it out. We have to want to give up or mod, no one else but ourselves can get in the right headspace to do our best to stop AL. The wonderful people on this site are a godsend and give tough love but good love. I would not be where i am today if not for these guys here and i think a lot of newbies agree also.

I don't normally feel any withdrawal symptoms ( that I know of) but its never left my system long enough for me to find out.

Well done available for tipping that glass. you have come such a long way. I remember when I would just guzzle it. even if it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. or even room temp.

Anna- Hoping D2 goes ok for you. As Available says- please keep this site open. I always try to remember this site and the advice and people. It helps me immensely

Dals- I am glad you found this place and are looking to go AF. Have you seen the Newbies Nest- I find they are very welcoming and soooo supportive. Hope to see you there.

lol funny girl anna, i had that problem too for years and years. god i would drink the wine warm, cold, anything really. to get icecubes, sigh what a hassle that was, let alone filling the tray again. getting up to the fridge, well hello, much easier to have bottle right next to you i used to say.

Yes minstar i have come leaps and bounds even with the setback, just so much more positive about AF and life in general. i even plan what to do when i get home from work, god before it was which bottle shop did i go to yesterday that i cant go to today. i must say life is good

Well I am back after my time in the naughty corner. Day 3 today (second time round) and feeling strong. I just keep thinking about how good it felt waking up not having had a drink. So good to hear everyone sounding positive, I am too today. Hi to Dals and Anna.

Hey all,
Lilla- how are you doing? Well done on getting back on and hitting D3. Hope you have been fending off the evil AL.

Day 10 for me- can't believe I have got here! Hoping not to slack thinking this is easy and I can moderate. I know that will never be for me!

TC and keep up the good work!

Hi MinStar
Thanks for asking - it's not been a good couple of days but I have been reading the posts and trying to get my head back in that space. Well done on ten days, so proud of you, just wish I had your strength.

Hello.
I am doing okay. Have not posted in a while. I am back to drinking a bottle a day and trying to not increase. Not thinking much about moderating, but am not stumbling around like before.

Sorry I don't sound too motivating to those trying to quit. Sounds weird... I am happy!

Enough!
