Queenbug, I have been eating ALL DAY too. All carbs. I don't think that's a good idea, at least for me. Tomorrow some fish! Eggs!

ODAT, antabuse might be just the thing. I got some once from a Canadian pharmacy but never took it. It takes away all that chatter in your head, at least that is what K9 always says, and others. The chatter is just so stressful.

Everyone hang in there. I am feeling more intense W/D than yesterday-I am right at 48 hours AF. Thankfully I am not nauseous, as evidenced by the fact that I have eaten like a horse. But I have a terribly thick, exhausted head. Well, this sucks! But at least I don't hate myself, dread going to sleep, dread waking up, and dread tomorrow in its entirety, knowing that all I will accomplish is downing too much wine...and worrying about everything I am NOT doing. It's a no brainer. Just don't let me forget it!

...carbs all the way for me too today...and sweet things...I NEVER eat sweet stuff....more of a savoury tooth. I did eat good salad and baked potato though in the midst of all the crap...and soup...One of the things I have hated so much is the weight that's crept up on me....turning into a barrel with boobs!!! Lost some of it on a longish AF session a while back ....but mostly back now...feel like I'm hauling far too much weight around.

Hope this serious munchies stage passes soon...plus am awash with water....all very glam!!!

I called him at mommys house, cause thats where hes miving when we split in dec, big man huh, and said he would be here in a bit an i needed to chill out. Really! Like he has kids asking him for stuff that cost money. She nedds uniforms for work and he needs a new coat and what about our allowanceand when will my tv and ps3 come out of pawn. My head hurts and my stomach is sick and no one that lives in this house wants to be here any more and we have to do this for 52 more days HOW

You will get through it, ODAT...just stay close to the daisies and anyone else on this forum you have connected with. I feel for you. You are very very brave to be dealing with all this. I admire you a great deal!

Sorry I was out at my nephew's water polo game, but I'm back and catching up!

Yes, I get my Antabuse from the doctor. NoraC and Honeysoup are on it...Mamabear used to be. But Star already told you all of this...thanks Star!

And Ann is absolutely correct too...once you've taken AB you simply CANNOT drink, so why spend one more time even thinking about it??

Odat....can you get a prescription for AB?

Home - nearly 7 pm, that was long day!! Perfect excuse for wine, but thanks to the Daisy's i am home clear again - got to get food - been eating way too much chocolate, and putting on the pounds - but decided I will deal with that later.
I have been here a long time as well and not geting the message screwed into my thick head - there is some of me hoping this is it...
I have also looked at ab a few times, there are some good threads about it, but it scares me....
ok - off to get supper.
Pumpkins still not carved - think I will not be getting them done...
Oh...just turned down my yearly trick & treating event - a friend and I sit with a table and wine and pass out candy in what I used to pat myself on the back and think it was such a civilised thing to do - done this for about 8 years and this will be my first year not doing it - will feel sad tomorrow, and feel as if I have let my friend down, but don't feel strong enough (last year she sipped daintily at one glass and I kept sneaking into her kitchen for more - ended up drinking it out of the bottle when she wasn't watching - UGG!!! how horrible!!!) - tomorrow night will be tough for me......:upset::upset:

Hi SL...love your daisy avatar! So what scares you about Antabuse? Honestly, I'm more scared of drinking! The warnings can be scary, but then so are the warnings on ALL medications. Is it that you don't trust yourself not to drink? I felt that way too...but it passed as I slowly grew more confident in myself. It gave me the time I needed to clear my head.

If you have a plan for dealing with it, I'd sure like to know. I'm anticipating some rough times up ahead and have been trying to come up with a plan. I realized tonight that the truth is - I WANT to have a drink with my friends. It doesn't mean I have to act on it - just finally told the truth instead of struggling. I don't feel as anxious about it anymore. We're all here for you - and in the same boat. It is just another day - and you won't wake up on Friday morning wishing you drank Thursday night.
