Lisa: Mr Gumble, this is a girl scout meeting.
Barney: Is it? Or is it that you girls can't admit that you have a problem?

LOL....denial! :H

Check out the book "Where Ever you Go, There you Are". I think it will parallel your "Here and Now" idea (this is something I used previously) Think about the NOW. We'll worry about the next minute later. There is too much to savor in this moment!

The book is really a great asset on this journey!

Everyone is so unbelievably supportive Gonna check everyones recommendations etc..

Martye, I am fine thank you. I could not get the kids to sleep last night and I seem to have caught a wee cold or chest infection or something so by the time they went to sleep I was dead to the world. I have to say, I am really enjoying a good sleep. With all the booze and diet cola and loading my stomach with naughty food, no wonder I had insomnia before!!!!

Well, this is day 6 and Friday. I have to say, a bit nervous because it was always the extra special night involving more booze n treats, not to mention more confidence to 'have fun' if ya get me. But nevertheless, i actually feel really positive and I dont know if it is the campral or psych but I am not actually having any cravings as such, more the habit of getting a drink at 8pm, but now I pour a soda water and lemon juice, which I love and zero cals Icheck off the days on a sheet on the wall every day and try to write every day in my 'log book' and it keeps me focussed.

Oops, littlest one need me.. BRB

Hi there. Just saw your log. Wanted to tell you congratulations! You are doing great. I also use a calendar. I put stickers on every AF day. I love looking at my calendar filled with stickers. Great job! Hope you feel better with your cold.

Hello hello hello, today is......... DAY 7 wooo hoooo! So my body has not had to get rid of 1 1/2 litres of vodka this week or all the diet cola and food it comes with. I passed one of my scary hurdles, the Friday night. I feel like I have drunk a whole bottle of whisky with this chest infection but I love coming to MWO and reading everyone's stuff, it totally keeps me focussed. Yippee, if I can do Friday, I can surely do Saturday and onnnnn. The 30 day goal will be the next hurdle but 'today for me is where it's at'

Hi Honeysuckle,

Just wanted to pop by to say loving your thread. Your own journal where you can be honest and keep yourself accountable is both a brilliant way to help yourself - a go-to place that is you largely your own. Can help keep you accountable too. The other great thing is that it WILL be helping not only you, but others also. Keep it up.

Oh - and congrats on Day 7. I am positive one of the award givers will somewhere give you one of these :moon: for your day 7. (That's a little congratulatory moon for your thread on Day 7!).

Keep it up and yes do remember what G-bloke said "today is where it's at"

Close call!

My hubby worked late and called and said did I want anything from the shop, I said no, he said just once a week? I said no! we made a deal on 30 days. And he came home and he did not drink. I very easily could have said 'go on then'. Well, not this time.

I havent been taking the campral due to being ill. I cant decide if my body is aching all over due to this flu type thing or from withdrawal, is it possible? I am like a corpse, seriously!

Flu like symptons are very common in the early stages. It makes me very proud you are staying strong. Keep up the fantastic work!

You and hubby should pamper yourselves in the early days. Long candle-lit baths, lots of rest and TV/movies, yummy comfort food - absolutely anything your body wants or desires except alcohol. Indulge yourself now - it does make giving up AL a bit easier. Can you go get a massage or some other awesome spa treatment?

Excellent advise Siren! The first few weeks of sobriety I gathered a big basket full of things that made me feel good. In there were my favorite movies, music, candy etc...also not to forget a book of positive affirmations to read if my mind started to wonder to things that I could not change. I refused to let my thoughts go there. Now that I have several months AF my days are being filled with building and repairing friendships Etc. But in the beginning my "Goodies basket" was a God sent! :l
