day 4 and feel like a new person

[aduggan]

Hi I am on day 4. Doing everything, topa, cd's all supplements. Feel great!. Went out on Friday night, stayed out till 1.30am nd watched everyone else getting drunk and felt great to be sober. Woke up with no hangover and felt wonderful, hubby felt dreadful all day. strange thing is I had no desire to drink at all.

Hi: I'm hoping to start AF today. It's Monday & almost at the start of a new month. Your story of the weekend was inspirational.

Hi reeteacher

Don't say you are hoping. You WILL DO IT. I cant tell you how good it feels, keep yourself occupied because that is the only thing. I am a bit of a loss at what to do in the evenings, but if I keep occupied I am fine, and I am finding I am going to bed earlier, no bad thing because body needs to recuperate after years of abuse. I am intending to do 30 days AF, but maybe I will do more, I have put on 4 stone with drinking and I want to lose the weight so maybe I will do AF until I have lost the weight. You can do it why dont we become AF buddies and email each other each day to gee each other up?

Hi I am thinking that I will start a new thread for this seeing as so many people want to join in and support each other. How about I call it "newbies in need". We can all post how we are feeling each day and help each other through the first few weeks. Good luck everyone and see you over on the new thread. Amanda

Hi all,

I just got on this site and am wondering which book your reading. Is it the my way out book? Coz I just ordered it. Am not an alcoholic but a hopeless binge drinker who doesn't recognise herself when she gets hammered and does things I would never dream of. Lost my boyfriend and might lose my job due to drinking. I am starting Campral tomorrow. My god i hope it works. Need to get off this friggn merrygoround. Any pointers? :new:

Hi Amber,

First of all welcome. Come to the right place. Yes it is the my way out book it is great. I completely understand the feeling of not recognising yourself after alcohol and the awful feelings the day afterwards.

Why don't you join the thread I started called newbies in need, it is where all of us newbies are going to post on one thread and try and help each other out during our first month or so. Also, I say just take one day at a time, I am only on day six but doing the book and taking the supplements etc I feel great.
