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

oh no FF it is fair stuck up my arse. feeling better today so that is good. though slept like shit, woke up like shit but drove to work with no hangover so that is a positive. going to write all the positives down with the negatives and i am sure the positives outweigh the negatives. No refrain that they do outweigh the negs.

Molly i think its like childbirth, hangovers that is, u have one then u forget the pain a few hours later. Tomorrow is payday so will be downloading JV's book and have a new cheapy chemist around the corner so will be off to buy the goodies. my body is craving for something instead of AL i reckon. will find PF's very useful site on vitamins etc.

DAY 2 here we come!

oh and the exercise ball that has been minding my clothes is coming out of hibernation this afternoon which is my worst time of day.

Wishing you luck! I just joined here this morning. Feeling very positive after visit to GP yesterday. She is prepared to prescribe Disulfiram but not until she's checked my abdo scan results I'm really looking forward to Friday .. NO ... Saturday morning, negative hangover.

now dont u hate when u lose what u have written!

Feeling a bit better today molly but came onto this site as soon as i woke for a read. I think hangovers are like childbirth u forget what they were like until the next time. i forgot 4 times what childbirth was like but hate to think of the amount of hangovers i have endured.

Free, yes i need to get my head out of my arse and get it together. had a shit sleep and now the cycle begins again. feel like i have been run over by a tram, bus, truck but hoping tonight will be better. its my fault anyways so just have to stay positive.

i need payday to happen (tomorrow) to get some supps happening. last time i did not have anything but now the cravings are pretty bad and also download JV's book as it sounds very positive, oh and get that exercise ball out that is minding my clothes and use it.

Hi ABM and FF, we can do this slowly but surely and day by day i know. ABM i live in melbourne but when i lived in newcastle we used to feed the kooka's. such gorgeous birds just like all of us on this site.

have a great day guys
xx

Hey AV, I saw your initial posts and know how flippin fab you felt going AF. 11 days awesome! We get a glimpse and then perhaps we fall off. But your glimpse was a big fat one and you loved it. All it takes is to get your head back in gear again and that will happen when the time is right for you. No beat up, ok. That was my bag and it doesn't help but this site helped me overcome that. So like I say, I look forward to that kick ass head of yours shining out. Hang in there :l

Great going getting back onto day 1 Firefox. Keep it going.

How are you going there AV? You know how to kick ass.

Good to see you Aspiring, and a huge welcome to you!

Hiya Better me! Free, Molly, and all the beautiful folk who drop in.

All good here. Back at work after 3 weeks holidays, and feel like taking a year off!

Have a good one. Best wishes everyone. G-bloke.

Thanx for the welcome guys I'm drinking tonight but tomorrow is my last night as I need to ensure the alcohol is out of my system before I pick up my script on Friday (albeit if the test results are ok).
Was wondering if any of you had been on Disulfiram and had success with it?
Also, do you think I should be on a different thread here?
It seems to me like you're all doing pretty well and I take my hat of to all of you!

Greetings all!

Aspiring, for me there is no right or wrong thread, so stick around here, or anywhere you feel comfortable. You will always be welcome. There is also a thread called 'Newbies nest' which is a very good place to start out, and say hello. Re Disulfiram, i haven't used any meds in my recovery, so can't give you my experience there, however there are a few meds thread in the 'Topomax, campral, naltrexone.....and other meds' section of the site. You may have to type in Disulfiram in search box to see if there has been a thread on it here in the past. Congratulations on deciding to take your life back. All the best with it, and keep us posted with how you go.

Wednesday morning here, and all's well.

Have a good one out there folk's.

Hi

I need to jump right in here. I was doing well and got my blood pressure back to normal(ish) and thought I'd "celebrate" that fact with a bender - even drinking stuff I don't usually:upset:

No idea what I was thinking as I had been feeling wonderful the last few days.

Back to feeling sick, anxious, depressed and just generally crap. So here I am on day 1 again.

Hey ho...

G'day Blondie,

Feeling sick anxious and depressed is what happens every time to us. It's no way to live.

Good to hear you are choosing to get yourself back on track.

Thanks guys. It's so annoying when I KNOW all this stuff. Nothing comes as a surprise, yet there I went again. So yes, back to it.

Off for dinner then early bed...

Hi Blondie we all knew what were doing was wrong and harmful to ourselves and others,But the monster has great persuasive powers that take a while to back of, I drank a bottle of gin when i was younger and promised myself i would never ever drink gin again,......until in later years when there was nothing else to drink,down it went.Anyway your back here and posting and that is all good don't quit quit quitting.

Thursday morning here, and day 8 i think. Getting that first day, then first week out of the way is a good feeling. All good here. Relaxed, not struggling, but not complacent or a 'bit too casual' in attitude to AL, like i have been recently. A bit more application and discipline is required from the young fella to get through to 30 day's i feel, and that's okay with me.

A big hello to everyone!

Good to see you as usual Mario.

A safe, sober, enlightening and empowering journey to all.

Good to see you Spud if you're reading. :h

I cannot cannot cannot fathom how, when I enjoy sober life so much, that I have ever had a drink since deciding I shouldn't - buggers belief really
Anyways, hope everyone else is having a good day, gonna veg. now for a while and watch shite tv and then go to bed with me book - heaven

Evening Molly,

Shite t.v. and a book? You are a groover!

No complacency here either. I'm finding it interesting though, beginning the journey again. It's kinda nice. Possibilities are endless, and there they are for me, right here, right now, right in front of me within my grasp at day 8. Not after 1 year AF, or 3 months, but right now, today. :welcome:

Sweet and restful dreams to you Molly.
