My husband came back from his trip and I thought we would have a drink or two, we went through a bottle and a half with me drinking most of it. I feel like crap this morning...again. I don't know how to stop. I ordered the pills and I am waiting for them to come. He is a bit upset at me as I stayed up so late watching a movie and talking on the phone to my brother and cousin. I have a twinge of a headache. I told him I ordered some pills to help me quit and he was happy about that as he can go without it if it's not in the house, I can't seem to. :upset:

GG, you haven't blown it. Tomorrow will be a fresh day. I have been bad this week so I am setting Sunday night as my first AF.
I =t doesn't help feeling bad when your hubby is annoyed too. Maybe you could think about Topa if you haven't yet.
You've been doing so well... it's a bloody hard thing to get a handle on, both physically and psychologically.

I'm not really comfortable with going on meds like that.. I'm going to try the vitamins and supps first. Today, I am going to start...again. I just have to wrap my mind around this, I've been drinking for so long that's it hard to stop.. you know what it's like. (big sigh)..back to square 1.Comment

GG, That's right. Wrap your mind around it. Have you tried the CD's at all? I listen to them when I go to bed and swear that my brain absorbs whatever the person is saying in my sleep and it makes a difference.
Good luck. It will be better just keep trying."Keep your eyes and heart focused on the end goal at all times, and never settle for less."Comment

GG,
You haven't blown it!!!!
Like you I was drinking in the morning when I first found this site and also drinking alone. In my early days I used to feel proud of myself for getting through the day time and waiting till evening and then only if hubby was home, so I personally think that you did well yesterday.
Hugs & Love to you :l :h :lsigpicXXXComment

Hi GG-
Today is a new day. If your hubby is supportive & won't drink if it's not in the house then don't have any in the house. Try the supps first & see if that works. I take the Topa (I'm at 100 mg & not going any higher) & don't have any of the side effects you might hear of (if that's what you're leary of) except for that "on the tip of my tounge" forgetfulness every once in awhile-but then again-it could be that one left over brain cell waking up!

GG I think many of us can relate!
I don't think I've been AF for one day for at least 20 years (except for 2 days in the hospital on morphine!)
I slipped big time too afterthe holidays, but am back now as of Monday working on getting it under control.
This time I really increased the Kudzu. I take it about an hour before the time when I usedto feel those "triggers" to drink. For me that was even my bloody mary in the morning! I have to say .. I THINK ITS WORKING!
I'm not AF but have gone from 2-3 bottles of wine a day (with no one else helping me drink it!) to 1 bottle a day. Still a lot but it's a good target for me right now.
The last 2 nights I looked at the clock, then the bottle ... OH OH... I'm not going to make it!
Popped 3 Kudzu and in a bit I was able to sip again .. and DAMN! I actually went to bed with a wee bit even left in my glass!
Day 5 for me on this course. If I can make it through the weekend and stay at this point, I will know I am really making progress.
I should maybe be AF, but for me, I fear doing just what you did. Stop all together and get obsessed thinking about it and then drink too much. So for now this is my plan ...
It's a fresh day. Set a new goal.
Hugs!
