    Looking for: People early in their 1st 30 Days AF

    If you are thinking about the bottle shop - you can't wait for shipping. In the States it's a legal nutritional supplement - and can be had at every nutritional/vitamin store.

    Glutamine makes a HUGE difference in my cravings - they aren't gone - but they aren't swamping me.

    Some people can get by on one a day - but as I was trying to titer down to go AF for the 30 days - I found I had fewer cravings/drank less going higher dose. You may well be different - but I take one mid- morning, one mid afternoon and one after dinner. I'm on day 7 so if it swamps me out - I'll take another in the evening when I am most likely to buckle under.

    Half hour in - the edge is gone. I have been taking for months til I got the dose right for me - but I recently added full spectrum amino acid supplementation to the equation with the glutamine and it's making a huge difference.

    Good luck. Sending best wishes to ride it out.
    That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
    Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

      Hi Available

      Yes you can get the L-Glut from any health food shop or place where they sell body building stuff. I have got it lots of times in Sydney and Brisbane....
      Go and get some supplements tomorrow - really will make a big diff

      Take care and keep clenching those teeth!

        Hi all,
        I'm in too. 26th October was my birthday & I drank too much the night before yet again & felt crap the next morning & decided I had to go AF. Had about 5 days ok, yesterday & today have had a couple of glasses of wine, so I'm still trying to be determined about this. So hard. No withdrawal these days as I haven't been drinking heavily all the time, just the occasional binge, but I think I need to give it up to avoid those occasional binges coz the guilt tears me up. I forget what I've put on fb the night before too!
        And I'm in Oz too, Available, happy to keep you company!

          Praire and avail, Day 3 for me too.
          I'm really tired but hopeful. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and imagine that i can say 180 days sober but that seems so impossible and ridiculous so i'm trying to remind myself to just worry about today. Happy wednesday everyone! Keep posting please, it's so helpful.

            Hi everyone, I'm on day one and would like to join you all. I agree on just worrying about today Ishybit, it is far less daunting than to think about 180 days or even 30 or a lifetime AL...just worrying about today, or even the hour if necessary. I have gone 70 days earlier this year and went on a vacation which ruined my sobriety and haven't been able to stick to it since. Now I am back at day 1, but feeling good. You gotta start somewhere, right?
            Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

            BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!             :h

              Hi all!

              I am on day 15. I tried to moderate while going up on Baclofen only to fail. 15 days is a milestone for me. I have some depression going on now. I really can't say why. But I am determined this time. The euphoria will be back soon after waking up a few more mornings knowing and remembering what I did the night before!
              Me too, FB, phone calls, etc. How did we lose so much control in our lives?

              Anyway, full steam ahead my friends. Every sober day for me is a Godsend!

              Happy Wednesday and thanks Prairie for starting this!

                Encouragement and hugs to you all

                MightyM and Guitarista, thanks again. I'm on day 3 and am getting Vale's book. I have no AL cravings yet, just a desire for relief from fear and a feeling of isolation that booz would drown out (at huge cost, of course). I think my drinking is rooted in some emotional issues that go back a while. But I'm seeing a therapist today at noon.

                I ate and slept alone last night, (hubby wouldn't look at or speak to me) and still feel profoundly sad, but he tallked to me this morning, and says he will help me.
                I want to say hi to Nelz and Available, and agree that it will be good to do this together. Also to Boots, and to say how grateful I am to all of you, and will absolutely pray for you each day and especially on the days that I get to Church in the mornings. One thing I do know is that God is good and wants nothing but joy for us all. I ask Him to strengthen my ability to use the free will He has given me not to harm myself and those I love. I wish that for all of us as we go through this day.

                Today I do feel a bit stronger and resolved to get my life under control for perhaps the very first time. Love you all. Let's do today together.:h

                  Day 3 crocus, way to go!!! I am so glad you are feeling even stronger and that hubby has come around and will support you. I am sure he was confused and scared. His support will be monumental in helping you free yourself from this beast. I am glad you are going to see someone that you can talk to and to get further guidance. Keep it going!

                    morning all

                    well i slept 6 hours on and off and listened to my anxiety and sleep cd and bloody dreamed about this site all night and posts. Normally i wake up and go on fb but have found that at the moment this site is more support than any fb friend. I hope all us guys can manage this together. I am feeling shaky this morning and foggy but how good is it to not wake up with a hangover. today being day 3, woo hoo annd congrats to all of us i am going to tell my son i have not drank for 3 days. bles him he has not realised that emptying the bin it is not full of bottles. I have though and i am off to buy the glut.
                    Many thanks to you all for your support. I have not done 3 days for years and gdod it feels good.

                    DAY 3 yeah
                    GOAL: day 4

                      Love to all of us!

                      Hi Folks! All through with work today, and feel a bit better. My therapist told me she thought I would have a rough go of this because I drink for emotionally rooted reasons and not physiological. There fore, she thinks, I will feel a lot worse before I feel better. Any thoughts on that?
                      Maybe that's why I have not experienced any cravings yet here on day 3. But I know when fear, isolation and desperation kicks in I will be craving the drug again.

                      Meanwhile, here we go for day 4! God bless you all. Rosie, nice to meet you!:h

                        Tonight is a rough one here. Just counting the time...trying to get through.

                            Day 5 here.

                            C'mon everyone, push through these first few days like a locomotive on a mission.

                              Day 5 here.

                              C'mon everyone, push through these first few days like a locomotive on a mission. :goodjob:

                              For me, the anxiety and depression slowly begins to lift and fade, and the gratitude and joyous wonder kicks in. If it doesn't do that for you soon, stick with it, for it will eventually.

                                Locomotive indeed. I seriously struggled over the past few hours. Grrr. Day 3 almost done. I have to remind myself, that i was drunk only 4 days ago.
                                hang in there everyone...we can do it!
