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

!!

Back in December I had all normal liver enzymes and normal GGT on a life insurance exam getting the most preferred rate.... even though I have been overdrinking wine for years now... Wouldn't you think I would get down on my knees and thank the dear lord and then reign it in or stop abusing my body??? Nope not me. I SHOULD have received this news and changed my ways!!! Yesterday I did not drink in response to stressors and I survived the day just fine... It CAN be done.

Happy mothers day!!!!

Another beautiful day!!!!! Had a lovely night.... how the tables turned as I watched
my hubby get toasted on margaritas ( super rare that he over does it). As I was slowly sipping ONE... ( which i lovingly made with fresh lime juice ) witnessed my boys shaking their heads at him... wow could only imagine all the head shaking done for me over the years!

Anyway... hubby decided to jump in the pool and unfortunately he hit the bottom resulting in a huge gash on his head! Ouch!!! I even caught some of his " singing" on video....

So proud that I am sitting on my patio with no headache ready for anything on this beautiful mothers day!!!! Yeh!
Enough!

OMGosh Enough, he's lucky it was just a gash!

It's funny how annoying I can find my husband now when he's drinking, particularly when it's evident that he's had too much. I don't even want to talk to him because the conversation is essentially worthless and he most likely won't remember it.

Hey Mya
Great post .... I'm starting Day 1 again for 3rd time in the last month. I want this to work and I realise I get nothing positive from drinking. I need to go and get my bloods done for a Liver Function test so why the hell do I continue to drink ... its pathetic.

Thanks

Berner

Hi Berner...I am also starting out on day 1 (again)...ugh! I am reading a book called "Ending Your Addiction Now" the proven nutritional supplement program. I am wondering if anyone has read this book and tried it. I figure that there is no place for me to go except up from here. I am willing to try anything to break this nasty cycle! I am taking L-Glut, Milk Thistle and Kudzu now. I will keep everyone posted!

I haven't read that book. I did read Kick the Drink Easily by Jason Vale and thought it was fantastic. Just reading that book took away much of my cravings. L-Glut worked well for me. I haven't tried milk thistle or kudzu.

Hello Destiney...I have a book on nutrition and cutting alcohol out, and I'm going to pull it out as I do believe taking certain vitamins etc. helps. I've also heard some say 'no sweets' and others say 'all the sweets you want' as alcohol is sugar and when quitting you crave sugar. I'm going to try for natural sweets. Like strawberries... Day one continues....

I found that I craved sweets like mad when I quit. I let myself eat them. I figured I'd eat sweets initially until the booze cravings were gone for the most part and then deal with the sugar.

Hi Sheepish....I hope you did ok with day 1 today.

Hi Fly....I crave salt...maybe its from waking up in the middle of the night in a full sweat...Ugh. Last night I woke up at 2am....it didn't help that it was thundering and lightening out so bad...but it was gross waking up in a full sweat. I hate this part of detoxing...I hope that's what it is...I am too young for menopause! Ha!

So I got through day 2 AF..Yay.. It was tough as I passed 2 liquor stores on my way home today and the "beast" in my head kept telling me to get a bottle of vodka...but I passed the 1st store...but I knew there was another. I approached the other one and white knucked the steering wheel and kept on going! It was ALL I could think about on the way home. I was remembering the advice that everyone has given on here and it really helped!!! Thanks for being there for me!

Great job! Try to find the book Kick The Drink Easily. It's a huge help toward changing your thinking.

Well here I am again on Day 1. Honestly I don't know why I do this to myself.

I am a new member and also on day 1. The reality is that even though I promise and promise myself that I won't ever drink that much again, I do. I just can't drink sensibly.

Hi Buddha! Welcome to MWO! I am on day 1 also. I have trouble drinking in moderation too. I bought a bottle of vodka this weekend and promised myself that I would just drink a little.....that sooooooo didn't happen! There is soooo much support here and I thought that I could go a few days and not check in on here becuase I was busy. I now realize that in order for this to work I have to come on here as much as I can. I felt horrible having to come on and post this morning that I screwed up this weekend....ugh! Hopefully I can keep on track....I am just going to do it one day at a time! Good luck with day 1 AF!

Mya and Berner...I totally screwed up this weekend too! Ugh! I don't know why I keep having to start back on day 1.....it's so frustrating. I am makeing a promise to myself to come on here as much as I can. I need the support that I get on here and it's obvious I can't go a few days without it! Good luck on starting out AF again!
