    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Just checking around my comfy places in the threads.
    Hi Caper, sorry to see you back, but glad you came back as needed...
    Juja, another familiar person....
    struggling here - as the norm I am afraid....one day will make this work, really will.
    I started my best run in November last year, and maybe hoping that that time of year might allow the penny to drop properly this year

      Juja - that's funny about waking up with a headache and assuming you had too much to drink! I have done that too! What a relief when you realize it's "just" a headache!

        Hi y'all,

        Not much to report, just cruising along nicely. Am moving house at the moment, so fairly busy. Jamming with my band today, so looking forward to that.

        Congratulations Juja on your AF time. Keep it going friend! You too RC!

        Good to see you DG and Caper.

        Hi SL! Keep at it. Something will click one day.

        Hi Lilly!

        Wishing everyone a safe, sober and magical weekend.

          Hey all.....I'm back on day 1. I need to get it thru my head that I am not a person that will ever have one drink. Before I take that first drink, I'm already thinking about the next. So, I'll have good sober periods but once I start again, the problems start again. You would think I'd get it thru my thick skull.
          So - here I am again! :thanks:

            Oh - Mr. G - meant to tell you, hubby got himself a bass (Squier P Bass) recently. He's always played guitar (Fender Stratocaster) but wants to do some recording so wanted to do some bass tracks himself. He's been having fun.
            Enjoy your jam.....

              Hello Friends!!!

              My day 3..
              Yestarday i was fighting with my HB..throwing things, sreaming..but he always starts screaming at me first..he even don' t know how to speak normally..
              He returned from work trip and i had hope that first day will be nice..i was very calm after my yoga, choire practice (singing is very nice)
              Just want to add that he' s alcoholic too and when he needs his beer he' s crazy.
              I hate that he' s screaming at me in a car..it' s a closed space and sometimes i just want to jump out..
              Last night i went to sleep to guestroom, woke up this morning calm but very, very sad..crying..
              He' s away meeting son..He' s ok after such fights, not very emotional person..i'm just broken..
              Anyway - my TODAY' S GOAL AND PLAN is to stay sober and i'll do!!!

              Hello Juja!!!:l Congrats on your Day 9!!! Yes, could be release when you understand - it' s just hedache i didn' t drink last night!!! I sometimes (AF periods) dream that i'm drinking and than wake up - oh, soooo good - just a dream!!

              Hi Norac!!! Can relate about first drink!!! Only now already i know that for me it will be not 1 DRINK BUT i'm already thinking about 1 BOTTLE OF WINE!!! Just have to admit..and i know what happens next..next evening will be 2 bottles..it will stay for a while 2, than 3 and it' s max for me - i get so sick that I HAVE TO QUIT!!! And than again..like crazy spirale..

              Yestarday i watched movie "The human stain" with Hopkins and Kidman. Good movie but i like phrase " THE ACTION KILLS A TOUGHT"..You can relate it to many aspects of life - in negative and positive way..I liked it because of my battle with AL..Any tought about AL - immidiate action..For me it' s quite difficult - i'm person of toughts, analysis, emotions..

              Take care everybody!!!

                      Testing one more time--I don't trust the site. Had an odd message yesterday while on the site, and pm'd Techie about it.

                      Anyway, I had typed a longish hello to everyone personally, and it's not here.

                      Everyone please know I'm thinking about each of you.

                        I'm getting you too Juja! Glad you are doing well. Is today Day 9 for you? It is day 9 for me. I love when you begin to see the physical changes from several days with no AL. The eyes get brighter, bags get smaller, skin begins to look better, then there's the sleep. It's not totally great yet, but oh so much better.

                        Then there are the little glimpses of sanity! Maybe we haven't destroyed all our brain cells?

                          Would be nice to know that there are some brain cells left in there. :H

                          Juja - hope you figure out what's going on. I see your test messages.

                            Hi DG, Nora, G, et al,

                            Techie pm'd regarding my problem, I did what he instructed, so fingers crossed all's well.

                            Today was Day 10, and it was a tad difficult. I was fixing dinner, and I detest cooking, so I usually get pretty tipsy when cooking. I had to take a few breaths and remember why I was remaining sober. The oh-it's-okay feeling is creeping back, so I have to be vigilant.

                            One problem: I may not be drinking, but I'm eating us out of house and home! So much for my goals!

                            Nora>I've lost some brain cells for sure. More to life-long depressive episodes and meds than AL, I think.

                            DG>I guess I look better, I hadn't thought about it. I've noticed that I'm so happy I'm almost manic. That's not necessarily a good thing. I get kind of goofy, I think.

                            Have a good evening, all.

                              Not posted for a bit cos I realised I'd hit 999 posts. Kind of made me think, well what have I been doing here for the past year. A lot of blah, blah, blah it seems. So I had yet another ingenious plan - not post again until I hit the 30 day mark and then I could do the big celebration on my 1000th post with my 30 days. Alas, not to be. Good AF stint but not good enough. So, here I go again, hoping not ad infinitum

                                Hey all -

                                Juja - that's when I would usually do my cooking so I know what you mean. Luckily my husband does most of the cooking. Plus - my depression, meds & menopause have totally wiped out my brain cells. Sort of embarrassing lately.

                                Free - Look at it this way.....you're doing much better than me. :H But, all kidding aside, I do believe that all these AF stints are wonderful and helpful in pointing us in the right in direction.

                                DG - It is a good feeling - bright eyes, good sleep. Makes me wonder why I go back to drinking.
