    Day Three...

    Day three for me...I am doing pretty well, but starving and tired. Still, I will take that over drinking and a hangover. I know it is really early on, but trying to look at this as a break from the physical and emotional chaos I have been putting myself through, instead of depriving myself of something. Hopeful to see if my depression lifts as days without alcohol accumulate. Googling vitamins/supplements that are supposed to help with depression. So far, Fish oil and Vitamins B and D seem to be the biggies? Wishing everybody strength and hope today

    Day Three...

    Wish eat and eat some more and try and nap. These are two bad triggers to get you drinking again. Who cares what you put in your mouth as long as you are full and content. I ate sugar for months and i am more a savoury person but give me a pack of lollies and i was happy. The next few days are when the al brain tells you that you really were not that bad and you can moderate and everything will be fine. My anxiety is nearly non existent now and my depression is so much better. I hope to be off ad's in a few months time.

    Keep strong wish and keep posting.

      Day Three...

      Wish,
      I have ice cream in my freezer at all times, and it is my go-to night time treat.... something about the dairy and the sugar, I guess, that satisfies my soul.

      Ava is right that your brain will soften the hangover memories, and pretty soon, you are apt to convince yourself that moderation is REALLY the choice. Tell yourself that it "may be" the choice, but for now, choose 30 days of being without alcohol- you can change your mind later.
      :groupluv: Keep it up!

        Another thought is to buy soda water, cranberry juice, and limes- you can make very pretty drinks if you want something light and bubbly in your cup. When I drink this, I will do a splash of cranberry to make it pretty-

            Day Three...

            Thanks Ava, Patty and Scottish-L for the encouragement I have to admit it is kinda nice to eat whatever I want and not feel bad about it...lots of pizza, chips and dip and cheese and crackers have been getting me through..and Mounds Bars!! I also have been drinking a lot of ginger ale. I love the idea of adding some cranberry juice and a lime to that, very pretty indeed! I know I need to be really vigilant with the upcoming days where the horror of the hangover starts to where off, but I read here where somebody said to play that image out of drinking as it really would end up, not romanticizing it. How are you all doing with your drinking? Or just in general?

              Day Three...

              Ive been eating what i want for 5 months, like being pregnant, a great excuse. thankfully the sugar intake is reducing now but i am all for protecting my quit whatever it takes and if that means a few extra kilos then i'm not complaining.

              Sounds like you have a great diet happening there lol. Maybe you could add some ice cream to that mix i am thinking. I love ginger ale too and sometimes it is hard to decide what to replace with al but now if i get an urge to have a certain food then i have it. Yep like being pregnant!

              5 months today Wish and its great. I never thought at Day 3 i would be here but i am. Two bottles a day, 7 days a week, more on weekends to nothing. The first two weeks are the hardest but it is something i will never ever regret doing.

                  Day Three...

                  Thanks Wish, i cant believe it either, ive checked that date/time calculator so many times today and it still comes up with 150 days.

                  Just take one day at a time - today i will not drink
                  Post like a farking lunatic before you take that drink that your brain is trying to tell you to have.
                  Remember your last bad hangover and all the times you were ashamed and embarrassed.
                  Accept you are an alcoholic and can never moderate. (this to me was the hardest to accept)
                  Be proud of each and every day sober.

                  I have a life now, i did not have one before.
