    Company needed for Day 1 - Please and Thanks

    Hi there Patrice – a very quick mail – Just wanted to acknowledge your mail

    Congratulations on Day 2! Well Done! I know that I will achieve Day 2 as I will have to check in with my two buddies tomorrow - so thanks!

    I read through some of your posts and my goodness - you really have it all worked out - I think you are a genius - such well written posts and such detailed accounts - I do so wish I could put words down on paper like that - thank you for all your thoughts - I am still reading through them and trying to take everything in.

    Thumping headache yes and short-tempered also yes - I am working from home today and my two youngest boys 15 and 13 are on holiday, they don't get on at all and are driving me crazy - My fault as I have totally spoiled all of my children and I'm paying the price for it – not much wonder I have high blood pressure!

    I hope that you manage to get to sleep - try counting sheep - old fashioned but it works (most of the times) - sweet dreams.

    Bye for now, stay strong and thanks again

      Company needed for Day 1 - Please and Thanks

      Hi Patrice and Snowflake,
      Woke up this am with a headache, but am feeling good because I can remember what I watched on the tv last night. Start of day 2 -- have a dinner out with friends tonight. It will be a first for me to say, "just water, please" But, my new issue is that Lent starts on Wednesday so my goal is no wine during lent.

            If you go to the top of the page left hand side you will see User "CP" click on that and you will see a list of options - e.g., choose edit signature and you can insert your quote or whatever etc. give it a try, it's just takes practice

            Hello Hippy and thanks for popping in, and showing your support, it is much appreciated.

            Hope you finally managed to get to sleep Patrice and all the best of luck for tonight Free At Last - as you said it's Lent on Wednesday and you have to report to us tomorrow - I'm sure you can do it:l

            PS - Me too, I'm so glad to be able to remember last night - first time in as many years....

            Stay strong today/tonight.

              Hi Snowflake and Patrice,
              Getting ready to go to dinner with friends. But, before I leave, will listen to the abstinence hypnosis tape and then practice, "no thank you, just water for me." Will touch base in the am -- don't want to have to say I didn't make it past day two. Cheers.

                Start of Day Three AF

                Hi my two Buddies

                Hope you managed to make it through your dinner date last night AF - Free At Last and that you had a nice evening and that you managed to finally get a good night’s sleep Patrice, I was thinking of the both of you.

                I made it through Day 2 - with no major problems but then again, I avoided any real challenges, which is fine for the moment and also once again I know I have to report the next day so it cuts the task in half, thank you both again.

                Another bad headache today - but that is nothing compared to the way I used to wake up in the morning!

                Hope to hear from you later, and thinking of you as you start Lent.

                Bye for now

                Snowflake

                    Confession. Didn't make it through the evening. Just too much of a temptation when the bottle of wine was already open and "breathing" when we arrived at our friends home. So, today is the first day of Lent and I have no commitments for work or socializing for a couple of weeks. Need to stay clear of all temptations until I have a few weeks AF under my belt. Didn't want to write this note, but am feeling that we are in this to help each other and your encouragement is appreciated.

                      Not the end of the world - Try again

                      Dear Free At Last

                      Never mind about last night, today is another day ? Let?s look forward not backwards ? oh goodness ? yes, let?s not look backwards!

                      When I stopped in 2007, I had to be totally unsociable and I mean 100% and once again I am turning down invitations until I feel strong and mentally able enough to be able to say NO ?no wine for me? ? I?ll have a sparkling water please. At least you had the guts to socialize and give it a try, which is more than I have ever done!

                      I hope that you had a lovely evening and are ready to start again ? Will you stay on this thread so we can encourage each other ? pretty please and thanks?

                      Glad that you are well Patrice ? All good here!

                        Dear Snowflake,
                        Thanks for the encouragement. Today, I went to get my haircut and my hairdresser told me how he had abstained from alcohol for the past month, is feeling so great, getting more done than ever before, and feeling more connected to his partner. I took that as a reinforcement sign to continue my own journey to sobriety. Yes, I will stay on this thread. It's good to have you and Patrice as buddies in this effort.

                            Oh guys I feel like shite... had a horrendous day= big long distance argument with my Mother, my 7 year old was playing up, it's Valentines Day and I'm lonely.. ended up sobbing and I got a bottle of wine.. no excuses, just need more tools to deal with these things as they will always happen.
                            Main thing is I'm not going to let this turn into a binge and will be back on track tomorrow

                            Take care Girls

                              Hi guys! I’m checking in late today – busy day and will be like this until next Tuesday, I have all my family back home at the moment so took some time off work to enjoy them and am busy looking after them all – what us Mums are best at! They are all delighted and are thanking me non-stop for attempting to stop drinking (it’s actually quite heart wrenching – another story for another time) so that and the fact that I have to check in with my buddies on a daily basis will keep me out of mischief until Monday evening, when my eldest two leave again:upset:

                              So, very well done Free At Last for being sociable and managing to have a coffee after work – brilliant news, amazing – well done – Please feel proud of yourself – YAHOO!

                              Dear Patrice, I am so sorry that you had a rotten Valentine’s Day – what a shame – on such a special day as well - but you know it won’t lead to a binge so it’s OK –I’ve read your posts and you know what to do next more than anybody. It must be difficult for you to be so far from home on your own being a single Mum, and I do feel for you. I hope that your son/daughter is behaving a bit better now and without trying to interfere too much – I hope that you managed to make it up with your Mum.

                              I’m off to cook a nice dinner for my gang, as they relax and enjoy being pampered.

                              Thanks again for being my buddies, speak tomorrow, stay strong.

                              Lots of Love and Hugs on this Valentine’s Day

                              Snowflake X:l

                                Hi Snowflake and Free,
                                Thanks for your kind words Snow!
                                I'm back on the chain gang today, with a different kind of headache!
                                But finally I have learnt to hit the deck running and not miss a step.. I'm looking forward to an AF Friday with lots of healthy food and water. All the lovely people here always say to get straight back up and that's what I'm doing. It really is great when something finally clicks and it has.. Yay!
                                Have a great day!
