Tink - Boat still floatin' feeling stronger everyday. Had a little trouble sleeping the other night out of nowhere and couldn't understand it cause I was on day 9 - well, LOL, I've been eating hard candy at night to keep my mouth busy and have been eating caramel/coffee hard candy, ingredients are number 1 - coffee extract, duh!!!

Mike - Hang in there, I know you're having terrible withdrawal, but it won't be forever. Keep posting, take good care of yourself and see you around buddy!

Hey Kradle - Sorry I forgot to reply to you yesterday, I read so many of these posts I can't remember where I started or where I ended.

Glad to hear you are looking forward to the future without ruminating about the past so much now. I'm feeling much better about myself now too. Everyday I feel better and better, I find myself smiling for no apparent reason now. How's the boat coming?

Just wanted to tell you though to beware the boat. We have one and live on a small lake. There are so many party people here it's amazing. I haven't been on the lake since my quit, the rain here has been constant.

Hubby got home this morning from out of town, is off this weekend and we plan on being on the boat. I already feel a little anxious, boating and drinking go hand in hand around here, so I'll just have to stock up on the AF kind of drinks. I do feel a great amount of resolve though, heck, I'm just waiting for the two moons from Byrdie when I hit Day 14, aren't you?

Hello everyone,
I would like to join your thread. Today will be my first day. I need to get back on track. Over the last 14 months I have been sober for 12-13 of them. 10 of those months were consecutive with 2 slips. Then we went on vacation for three weeks....and that's where the slipping started. I'm at a point where I feel like hey it's normal to drink and yet I'm very aware of the type of drinker I am....one is never enough! Over the last couple of weeks, I've had drinks on the weekend. Those gaps between drinking are getting shorter and I'm afraid ill end up right where I started. So here's to day one!

Hi everybody,
Hope your all still with us and welcome all newbies.
Nearly at the two week marker and must say have had a tough weekend. Felt great in the mornings, like a whippit out of a trap, but come evening especially Saturday night, which is usually take away and wine night, I'm feeling left out. I know it was never going to be plain sailing otherwise no one would need the sight.

Any suggestions welcome. Been taking all the supplements but nothing else.

Anyone tried the cd's yet ?

Hi Tink - I'm not drinking today either!

We both have the same AF days, right? I'm on Day 13 today.

I had a really hard Saturday night too. Feel exactly the same way about feeling left out. Went to the fresh market for veggies, organic meats and seafood for Saturday night feast. Then to the big box luxury discount store. The wine displays were stupendous! When I rounded the corner and walked into that section it was like seeing AL in a tuxedo, gesturing for me to come in and find a nice accompaniment to my crab leg and tuna dinner. Then on the way to checkout (empty handed of alcohol), I noticed all the cases of discount fine wine people had in their buggies. I swear I held my breath until I got out of that store!

Then got home, made the amazing dinner and said cheers to my Hubby with club soda and lime.

I did it, I resisted, but damn - it was so hard. I felt a little empty for a while.

This morning I felt much better and here we are. Day 14 tomorrow, proud I didn't give in. Hang in there Tink, I'm here by the skin of my teeth. G
