Hey MSRG

Welcome and good luck!
I tend to tell it like it is and here's my opinion-
Moderation is nonsense for people like us.
Forget about it.
You know in your heart( I would bet) that you may
have one or two for a while but eventually, inevitably
you will have WAY more with bad consequences.
Not to sound redundant but it is what it is.
Don't kid yourself.
I finally learned that moderation is simply the refusal
to recognize reality

Hi Everyone,

I checked in earlier and wrote a big monologue but it didn't save! I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I found today so far really good except for the last hour. I have a fire lit, candles, dinner on, kids away for a while, bliss! Just poured a diet coke in a wine glass, makes me feel that it's nicer. I'm trying to still do all the things that I normally do to relax. Just sitting down with olives, a little cheese and crackers. Makes me feel a little better. I had given up cigarettes for a few months before I went AF but back on them. I'll tackle that again soon, but is more important.

Hi Everyone,

Well, we got through another w'end AF !!!! Feel good, but I've had very little energy since I went AF, so I'm determined to get that back this week. I know it's all in my head. Everytime I'm going through a difficult time I kinda hibernate, like it just takes all my energy to deal with my emotions. But, I've had 3 weeks of that and Enough! the one thing I find difficult is when I get to this stage, I sometimes forget why I stopped drinking or that is it is so bad for my mental health. But, I just need to continually remind myself of all the reasons why. Hope you all have a good Monday xxx

hi MSRG yes i wonder now after day 7 why i am doing this but god it is great to not have a hangover, i think it is more what do we do with ourselves now that AL is not in our lives. the last two days have not been good ones, body just feeling like crap but i can blame that one on all the shit i have put in it. i dragged myself out for an hours walk this arvo and felt much better but it was getting out the door that was a struggle. I am lucky here in Aus as it is coming into summer so much more to do. have spent the last 3 months hibernating and drinking more so i am glad the weather is better as kind of gives u a boost.
Keep strong and u go girl we can do this

wow, available. One whole week, I hope I get to that stage. It does feel great to have a clear head to go to work on. Great work, you deserve to feel very proud of yourself, especially after
feeling so rotten over the weekend.

Hi Everyone,
1 month tomorrow!!! Very Happy!! Still tired at times though and I guess a bit introspective, bu that is normal. We are all going through a period of HUGE change. It feels very good to be AF but still a bit scary. I need to listen to the hypno cd's again. I haven't listened to them at all this time I did in the past. We all need to do whatever we can to beat this. Have a great day everyone xxx

Waaaaaayyyyyy to goooooo!!! One month AF is a HUGE achievement(I was so glad my computer didnt underline that word in red) keep it up, pretty soon you'll have two months, and the more months you get, the easier it gets to go and stay AF.

I wish you all the strength you need to defeat this beast we all battle...good luck :goodjob:
