:thanks:

For your lovely welcomes :h

So enjoying NOT drinking and amazed at Baclofen's efficacy (if a bit stunned at SE's, but that's a post for another forum).

Onwards and upwards into day 3. Not many stressful situations today except the usual running about after kids and daily life. I have a disabled child & that makes life very different on almost every level...lol! Have to phone her transport provider and fight another fight over her provision so that is potentially stressful. Also have to find my son a work placement for September - don't really do asking people for favours (in case they say no & I have to deal with the rejection), so another potentially stressful situation. So I'll keep an eye out for them & urge surf through. DH away at work today, so I'm No.1 parent as usual :eeks:

Nearly through day 3 AlFree!

Couple of urges but managed to urge surf & take some baclofen to combat them.

Sorry not posting in nest - need to stay focused on me when I'm in looking for help & I'm the sort of person who likes to jump in and try to fix everyone. Selfish :sorry:

Good for you Teezah! You are doing wonderful!

Yay! Day 4 and looking good...thanks to MWO & Baclofen!

Up early & driving this morning - no worries about any lingering alcohol in my blood

Had brekkie on the beach - such a beautiful morning here.

Stress situations for today:

- Have to phone transport
- have to sort out son's placement
- children's after school commitments means I have the potential to buy wine when out and about later on in the dangerous 16.00 - 19.00 time zone

Have a lovely day everyone :thanks:

Hey Teezah, wow you're doing great, and good to see you are feeling so good too. I am on my day 2 now and can't wait for day 4+ as that it the longest I would have gone AF in a loooooooong time! Well done and have a lovely day :goodjob:

Yay! Day 4 is almost done. Felt tempted today so may inc. Baclofen tomorrow if I can cope with SE's.

******I gave away a 3/4 full bottle of wine to a neighbour today!!*********

Visited the wine section in Aldi to say "hi". Didn't buy anything.

Night All.

Outstanding avatar lillyE. Especially love her "why I'm not an adult" sketches.

Day 5! Day 5! Day 5! Skips down the lane waving hands wildly in the air singing "trah-la-la" day 5!"

So happy to be here! Weigh in later today too so will keep you posted if I go up or down in the "i've given up alcohol so surely the weight will fall off" lottery.

:thanks:

2.5lbs down
Once I get through today, I'll have reached my first goal - 5 days sober.

My second goal will be for a week

Does anyone have any advice on coping with holidays? I'm not going until August but if I have to order medication, I want to get it done soon. I saw someone (senior member - sorry can't remember who) takes Antabuse while away & that sounds like a good plan to me. Any other suggestions? What works / dosen't work for you.

Thanks!

Day 5 Done!!

So happy to have achieved my first goal: 5 days sober :happy:

Next goal is to get to a week. DH is back from work, so it will make it a bit harder to focus with himself around. But - was directed back to the toolbox so am going to use some of the excellent tips there to cope with temptation.

:thanks:
