8 days AF

[Barbie Ellen]

Hi Kids,
Today is 8 days AF..Saturday was my nieces bridal shower, full of booze but I stayed strong and drank my club soda and tonic and it helped that my brother 2 yrs AF showed up and gave me support. It wasnt that bad as I have it etched in my brain that I am going 30 days AF.
For the past two nights I have had dreams that I drank. The first one I had a sip of wine and said hey I cant be drinking and put it down. Last night in my dream I was in Key West by myself, had a drink in hand knowing I shouldnt but noone was there to snitch or see me so I gulped it down then felt horrible. Anyone else have these dreams? Weird.
I am feeling ok, believe me I do want to go have a drink, wishing I could have JUST ONE but know that I cant even try it yet.
So I am gonna keep on trucking, reading here and posting, working out everyday and taking care of ME!
Thanks for being here!:thanks:

Great job on the 8 days Barbie!!! Those drinking dreams are pretty common. I used to get them all of the time when I was pregnant. I would wake up SO relieved to know I had not drank. Keep at it. You are doing great!

Well done Barbie,

Yes the dreams are common...I remember several...I hated myself for drinking when I said I would not...them woke up and was so glad it was just a dream.

Keep up the good work..one day at a time will do it!!!

Guilt is a strong motivator--even if its guilt from dream. It's your subconcsious warning you of how you'd feel if you really chugged down a drink before you've reached your goal. Congratulations on Day 8. I haven't reached that point, but success stories like yours gives me more motivation than ever!
