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

    Hey all - Think I'm turning in early tonight. Sounds like everyone is doing well. I have been so down & depressed. Truth is that it has nothing to do with alcohol. I have been this way for over a week and was starting to turn to the alcohol once again. But, I'm back on the antabuse. So - Day 3 AF for me. Just need to try to get out of this slump I'm in. Glad to have you all here. I normally just hang out on the "One Step at a Time" thread. I'm glad that I came out and joined you all. :thanks:

      Hi Nora - Day 2 for me, yet again.....tough times, i know the wine doesn't help, but for a short while it does......reading here like crazy and as someone said earlier its pretty good therapy.
      Sweet dreams Juja and DG.....
      Think I will turn in early as well....

        Scared to post as such a failer, but I started with you earlier SL & DB and will try again. Day 1 for me again.
        Boy girls, right there with you at the stage of life we are at.
        Now off to bed.

            :lMornin' all,

            Glad you're here, Clear Eyes.

            FF> Day 2 is better than Day O, my friend. You've racked up quite a few AF days, though, so all's not lost. It never is.

            Nora> I hope the cloud lifts today.

            SL>Day 2, detective? Good job on the case!

            Must get ready for work. Even though it's part-time, I never want to go in that first day of the week (for me). Whine, whine. The job has saved my sanity, however, plus I'm extremely grateful to be employed.

            Make the best of the day.....

                  Morning - day 3 starting, slept pretty well last night.
                  Hi CE - well done for coming back, good to see you again. As long as we don't give up trying, we are winning in some way - and I know that my drinking habits are much improved, even if they are not where I want them to be, and I will take solace from that. Don't consider it failure - just find the success!
                  Morning FF, Juja and Dogwood....

                    DB - it's nice to be missed - thank you! Fantastic job on your 11 days. So how different do you feel now?

                    Nora, sorry to hear you're so down - I hope the clouds clear soon :l

                    Lassie, hope you're feeling better too :l After drinking on Sunday the negative thoughts returned the next day - really didn't like it. It was however, much easier to jump back on the wagon. Feeling good today - Ladybird like

                    Hi Juja, Audrey, RC, Stumpy, G and all to come. Have a happy evening.

                      Hi y'all,

                      Is this the menopause and estrogen thread? Good, i'm in the right place then.

                      A couple of wines can ease our pain for a short time, but the next day for me, is a very negative one, as my body chemistry turns to depression and then i can easily make poor choices and waste another day.....AND, my problems or pain are still there, often made even worse by the self loathing, self abusive cycle that i create for myself. It will just go on and on........IF, i allow it to.

                      Still moving house and fairly busy and important all round. Take care everyone. :h

                        Yep, that's what happens.

                        Good luck with the move

                          Morning friends !!!

                          Day 6 for me. Slept 8 hours but with 2 wake ups from nightmare - i'm very stupid girl to watch "The gangs of NewYork" before night..i saw movie first time and really understood why i postponed to watch so many years - hollywood "bloody studio cartoons"..

                          Yestarday here was nice spring day with 30' and for a moment my brain catched some image "of cold white wine glass"..i bought quite expensive cosmetic set from Clarins instead and got complaints from my HB about spending money with argument that his beer is much cheaper than my Clarins

                          Hi FreeFly and G!!!
                          I absolutaly feel the same after one or more days drinking wine - depression, hopelesness, anxiety, anger to myself, very low self-esteem..Some years ago it was different..now, even when i buy wine after some period of AF days and have first glass, i know - it' s bad, it' s sin..interesting that first glass for me is like first bite of apple in Eden garden - very temptating because it' s forbidden..So, nobody gave me those restrictions - it' s only ME - 2 of ME - good Audrey and bad Audrey..and they are very different..and they are very extreme - "if she' s good, she' s very, very good, if she' s bad - she' s very, very bad"..

                          Hi Juja!! Hope you' re doing well..how days do you have now???

                          Hi scottish lass!!!
                          Yes, reading is a very good therapy..on Day 1 i ususally are too week or frustrated to write so i read all day MWO and other websites till my eyes are red but it helps me to go over..and start.

                          Hello clear eyes!! We can fail only when we try!! Glad to see you!!!
                          The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

                            Mr. G - ROTFLMAO! I was afraid you'd never come back. See what happens when you leave the hens to run the house? hahahahaha..................

                            FF - I am feeling pretty good. I've been working out and running again.

                            SL, CE, Audrey, FF & Mr. G, good to catch up if only for a moment. I am once again so exhausted I cannot hold my eyes open. Going to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzz's. I hope I catch quite a few! I will talk to you all tomorrow.

                            Wish you all a happy, blessed, and sober day. Love you all..................................

                              Well that was a close one - driving home from work and by the time I managed it into town I had a pretty good shopping list of things that I could not live without - I had also managed to eat a whole bag of gummy bears!! Well, I managed to make the car drive striaght home - no stop at go to collect $200 - and no stop at the store for groceries (aka wine) - so inside and made supper - I definately had the HALT thingy going.....proud of myslef, but also kicking myself at same time as I want the wine....stupid head, stupid head - I felt so good this morning too....doors locked, sweats on, supper in tummy - only another hour to ride this out and day 3 will be over.....
                              Hi G - goo dto see you didn't run away from us:H
                              FF - ladybird like, but don't feel so gently tonight - white knuckles all the way
                              Audrey and DG - thanks for the support.
                              CE and juja - hope you are hanging in!
                              Will be another early night tonight - good way to escape for the cravings!!!!
