Well tomorrow is the 1/12/13 and a time that i have set aside to become AF. I have had a tough month or so and I realise that i am now back in the pit of AL. I dont want the withdrawals again but i dont want the anxiety and the hangovers and the feeling like shit that AL entails. I have set myself some goals and a to do list, one that has been long in working out. I have spoken to my children and told them I am not drinking so things are set in place. I need to be accountable and I will be.

Thanks Mr G I appreciate the support and there comes a time where we are tired and weary of the battle. So much easier to give in but not this chicken.

Melbourne here but two hours is so much better than O/S. hard to connect with such a big time difference. Although it is 11pm now so my bed time and tomorrow the start of an AF day with a buddy which makes a difference.

My Story

Well I have done my day 1 again. How did i feel today, well i felt like a wine at 5pm and thought to myself, that I bought this back onto myself again. The withdrawals, the cravings, the headaches. Did that make me want a wine NO. My daughter visited with a bottle of wine and i'm like wtf Mia I told you I was stopping drinking today and she said "you can have one glass mum". Oh god bring me not into temptation I thought. I just looked at the bottle and thought NO I cant, if I did then I would drive to the shops and buy more. That is not me anymore, I need to be strong. I had a diet coke and looked at that damn wine and looked at it but did not succumb. God if I cant get past Day 1 what is the point I thought.

So here I am with a full belly (food, yes I ate) and feeling proud of myself. I know I have a long way to go but its a start to being AF again.

Great day 1, Available! Having to be extra strong on the first day has put you in even better shape for the coming ones. I guess your kids need to learn about how for some of us, one is never enough but zero is fine :goodjob:.
