Good morning all.
Well I have 2 days behind me and am ready for day three.
I feel better this morning than the last two that is for sure.
I will be in touch often today.I have a list of things to get done and the house cleaner
comes today so that will be nice to have the house clean.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

Oh, I wish I had a house cleaner! I did while my kids were growing up, but then she retired and I figured I could do it myself since it was just hubby and I .......then last year my daughter moved back home with her husband, and 2 large furry dogs, and then had a baby! I can't keep up!

Glad to hear you are feeling better today. Once you are finished with today, all the AL will be out of your system, so it will only get better!

Take care of yourself!

Morning Red....I was looking for you.

Sounding much better today....the flight planning get together must have gone well.

Like New Day says Day 3 will see the last of the poison in your system.

Sounds like you have your plan for today, with a clean house to boot. :goodjob:

Will check in later....PPQP

GO RED

Keep hanging in there, and I too wish I had a house cleaner! I just realized that Saturday is definitely rain all day so that's what I'll be doing.

Just keep adding up the days and you will see more clarity as time goes on.

So glad you are on a roll!

PS – I wish I had a house cleaner, and..... I want to fly in your plane and go island hopping also! – Embrace everything you have and forget the Alcohol – it’s our worst enemy!

Thinking of you – have a lovely AF day/evening.

Holy Moly! I could have a house cleaner, a gardener, a chauffeur, ... well, maybe not, but the added bonus of not wasting $ on AL sure is nice, isn't it?

It seems like you have AL cravings in the late afternoon/early evening, Red. That is the only time I am inclined to drink also. When I was drinking, if I hadn't done so by ~ 7 pm, I just didn't. And the thought of drinking was actually quite sickening (likely due to the previous evening's exploits!) until about 3 or 4 pm when The Voice would start murmuring...

Anyway, I thought I had posted yesterday in your thread but perhaps just previewed it without sending, asking whether you used L-glutamine. It reduces both sugar- and alcohol-cravings and has not been shown to be toxic in numerous studies. The trick is, the brain can metabolize it for energy. When the brain is happy, physical cravings don't develop, and we at least have a chance of standing up to AL! I bought it in powdered form at a health food store in the Body Builder section. I also bought a jar of the 50 mg capsules for when I am away from home between 3 and 7 pm!!

Anyway, good job on this quit, Rednose! Keep on keeping on.

Great advice, just wanted to point out that supplemental glutamine
can actually cause ammonia toxicity in the brain for people
with kidney or liver disease. Is a common suggestion for
people to take it but most alcoholics have some form of
liver damage and shouldn't take L-glut without medical clearance.

Good point! Thanks for adding that, Lizker. I think everyone coming off AL (or actively drinking it!) would do well to get the liver and kidney function blood tests to see where they stand.
(I am walking the walk here and got my normal function results back just today).
