    2nd Day

    I upped my wine to four glasses last night and it seemed to help with the palpitations which started in the afternoon after the rest of the symptoms subsided yesterday. I went to bed with litre bottles of water and lemon.
    I didn't sleep all night - just woke twice - and then I slept through until 8.30!!
    8.30am!
    Everyone else was up. I needed strong coffee to get me going and I have energy and I feel brighter - I am glugging back the water with B complex and B12 and I will add Vit C or B6.

    Thankfully this morning was not as bad as yesterday. I honestly felt I had not felt that bad ON a bad booze day...........but then maybe you just don't "feel".

    I have bought four packets of biscuits today and I doubt they will last the weekend.

    Something dawned on me yesterday that while I was nursing my father in IC with a quadruple bypass this Feb and then dressing the leg and chest on a daily basis at home - I couldn't drink like i did. Just never occurred to me at the time as there was too much to worry about.

    Anyway, thanks for those who helped - I am aiming for 7 days and I will be over the moon.
    Then I will drop to 3 glasses. I am stating this here on the board so that I have to make it happen or say I failed.

    Good for you for doing it at your pace. We all have to do it our way. You can do it if you take it day by day and feeling accountable here is a good tool. Rooting for ya.

      Thanks

      I know 7 days is not a lot but I need to get there. I am aiming to go out for dinner in March with my husband for my 25th wedding anniversary and not drink.
      Oh and thanks for rooting for me.

        Congrats Ldiem3!

        This site is really about finding our own way out. What gave me so much hope when I first joined in 2009 is learning that there are so many more options than I thought I had when I was drinking in isolation. Finding this site was the best thing that happened to me because it led me to where I am today.

        Keep up the good work!

          I totally agree Sheri, finding this site was a lifesaver for me as well!
          I really learned a lot from those who had been here for a while & were able to share their experience & give some level-headed advice.

          Ldemi, keep going according to your plan, you'll do just great

              3rd Day

              Hi everyone and thanks for asking / thinking about me.

              Yesterday - I meant to have four glasses of wine but ended up having three and I cling-filmed the last glass and turned to water and lemon. Had a good night's sleep and have been up the mountains today helping to collect wood for the wood burner. I was happy and full of energy and made 7 pots of homemade liver pate.

              No palpitations or feeling sick or dizzy. Just simply only had three and went to bed at 10pm surprising myself.With a load of water.

              Today I am craving, really craving wine. I feel bloated, I can't face water, I even look fatter. I have no appetite (?) and I am being unreasonable and horrible to my husband.


              I have already had one glass of wine and its 3.30pm.

              Why the 4th day? I feel grumpy and edgy and almost like the worst pms ever. :upset:

                We have all been there, and got through, so can you. You are doing well. Have you tried the sups ? I think you will only feel better once you stop drinking completely.
