After 15/20 years of real heavy drinking -Yippee!!!!! have just made it through 7th day abs and I feel great. It has been a battle everyday but I have done it and without much in the way of supps. The cravings are getting worse and I almost gave in last night. The night before I was stupidly grummpy while cooking tea and realised I normally stand with glass in hand so managed to calm down. I've had a mail to say my kudzu and cds are on the way I can't wait, anxiety is growing, especially as I am going to a big family black tie do next weekend(everything including alcohol free) and I really want to stat AF. My boyfriend is encouraging me though he doesn't know that I have decided to go abs or using this site - I don't want to build up hopes in others but I really hope I can do it this time.
One of the biggest things to help is something I found last year on this site which was a thread about 'When I don't drinK I.....' At the time a wrote a whole list of how I feel when I don't drink and how I feel when I do. I've looked at it everyday and hooked it up to an image of a lady in the same street with a drink problem who I have watched over the last three years go from someone who recycled a few cans on a morning and walked her dog to a lady who could hardly walk and balance she was so thin, I saw an ambulance at her house late last year and it has struck me that I haven't seen her since. She has a son who lives with her and looks after her which I think is sad for him - long winded I know but my son is now 4 and with 14years difference between him and siblings I don't want to think he might waste his life in the same way
I've been popping in and 'listening' to all of your great advice and I try to grab a couple of minutes in my day for my 'fix' otherwise I have to stay up late into the night and I just am too tired to do that - has anyone else felt exhausted with this- The first few nights I had horrible dreams- slept great last night but an tired this am? Did people feel hungry too- I am always starving! Any tips. Am on holiday this week and am looking forward to a lot more visits to the site as I think this could be the crunch week
See you all

. It is funny at these things now I usually wonder why every one seems so happy to be drinking poison -
