      new horizon, you have already gotten THE best advice! I went cold turkey, too. I found that one drink only led to another one, so tapering didn't work for me. I felt flu like the first couple of weeks, so treat yourself well with lots of fluids and EAT. Eating the silver bullet to this thing! Eat until you are full!! You won't want anything else, Alcohol included. As alkies, we aren't used to eating, so enjoy your food and really taste and experience it! Pour all the AL you have in the house OUT or put it where you can't get to it. Otherwise, it will sprout heads and start talking to you. There are really only about 4 hours tonight to negotiate, we can get you thru those! We are so glad you found us, welcome aboard! Byrdie

        Thank you so much Byrdie! I definitely plan on getting some good meals in me and getting healthier. I have noticed how dull and drab my complexion is and how thin my hair has gotten from lack of nutrients. I can't wait to feel great!

          New Horizons, depending on your preference, you could make a pitcher with sliced apples, cinnamon, lemon slices and ice, or lemon slices, sliced cucumber, 10 mint leaves, and ice, or you could make an iced tea with lemon slices... Eating dinner is an awesome strategy. How old are your 4 children? One of the rituals we recently started was eating as a family- just like the Brady Bunch. Your kids may wonder why, but will soon enjoy it (if you don't already do it)

            Sounds delish! My kids are g11, b11, g6, b4. We are a blended family, no twins LOL! The kids will really enjoy having us join them at the table. I always feel guilt when I put all their plates out and then go and sit on the patio and drink.

              Welcome New Horizon,

              Try Calms Forte as recommended in MWO. It's an all natural sleep aid/stress reliever and it helped me my first 30 days. It is available in the US at any Walgreens/CVS in the sleep aid section. I would usually take 3 before bed.

              Good luck - glad you're here.

                  What a great gift to give to them- happy memories of dinner together. It will pay off in the end.

                  I'm very proud of the changes you've decided to make- yes, they are little ones, but combined, they will make a difference. If I could re-wind my family memory's clock, I would have changed dinner time rituals for my family.

                    Our kitchen table is our central hub. Homework is done there, constant arts and crafts, puzzles and dinners. It's always cluttered with something hahaha!

                        It's really good. This one I make in the crockpot so it's sooo much easier to make and tastes the same as right out of the oven.

                          I would love to try that! I absolutely LOVE my crockpots (I have two!). I always have something cooking in there. My daughter and I have different schedules so I just have food ready at all times. LOL I have some garlic/teriyaki chicken in there right now, and tonight I'll make some rice, and viola...dinner with hardly any work. Yes I know we should have some veggies...but hey, we can just take a vitamin. LOL

                            That sounds super yummy!! I want to try that! I'll give you the lasagna recipe when I'm on a computer. The phone is too hard.

                              NH - There's a lovely little thread that you might like to join. It's called "One Step At A Time" and we start a new one monthly. I can honestly say that I have true friends there. We all support each other, no matter what. You're welcome to join in! :l (We get a little off topic sometimes, but we have fun)
