Had just 1 glass of wine with dinner and had started again on coffee earlier in the am - just 1 cup and 3 am - wammo! - awake! I did, however, fall right back asleep. AF is the best for a good night's sleep.

Love it! Count me in!!! I have one day AF under my belt. You gotta start somewhere, right! LOL And, I am planning to go out tonight and have one or two drinks just to see if the Naltrexone works (just started that yesterday). Assuming the Naltrexone works, I plan to go AF for the rest of the week until Saturday when my friend is coming over for dinner and I want to see what its like to have one glass of wine w/dinner.

Hey all, I love this thread! It’s such a relief to be able to come here and read and share with people that understand ME! WOW, I’M NOT ALONE! That just made me cry and I’m happy, what a mess I am.

I made it 22 day AF in May, pretty proud of that. Now it’s day 2 AF and I’m not planning anything other than focus on getting healthy and happy and I want to look better in a bathing suit this summer than I did last summer. Those are my goals.

When I was drinking beer with my hubby the other night, I immediately wanted a cigarette. I’m glad I don’t smoke cigarettes anymore. It’s such an icky habit. It’s so easy to fall back into old habits, but with all you here to remind me, I feel so much stronger. THANK YOU!!!

Retteacher, have you ever tried L-Tryptophan? It’s a natural anti-depressant for alcoholics. https://www.antiaging-systems.com/a2z/ltryptophan.htm

Good to hear you sounding better adaptable. I think Gardengirl's counting system is extrmely positive. I will have to go back to drinktracker to figure mine out. I think it is 10 AF, 2 mods (well, 3 is mods by my old standards). Adaptable, by that counting system you are doing really well - 24 AF, 1 off, right?

22 AF, 1 off. But I could't redo the drinktracker the day I drank. Is that just the way it is? Does anyone know?

du! yeah! that's right! 24 AF, 1 off! Gardengirl, I like your way of counting too, it's way cool.

count me in - even though I had too much to drink last night - all the support from this thread should help me over the next month

I know what you mean. When my husband and I married, we were both right out of college and really drank a lot. Now it seems I drink more than he does. He has the ability to shut it off. We rarely sleep together because I continue to drink and watch TV while he goes to bed. I end up sleeping with one of the kids. We use to have so much fun together when we drank, now I feel that I am out of control.

Day 2 mod. One glass of wine yesterday, one the day before. I feel good, not craving more. Today I get off early, so we'll see. Plus I have tomorrow off. Two months ago this would be a whole bottle day, so I'll keep that in mind, knowing how it feels afterwards.

Hey everyone,

I'm so happy. I've been hanging around here for awhile. I finally got the Topa in the mail and now after three weeks, I had my first AF day in at least 10 years. I just woke up yesterday and decided it was the day. I thought about it last night but just said no. Today is another day and I feel so positive about it. I've also lost 6 pounds since being on the Topa which is very motivating.

Like most of you on this thread, I'd love to be able to moderate but I'm not sure I can. I'm going to take it one day at a time, I know I'll have difficult times ahead but now I feel very high. The whole level of anxiety I have been feeling just having to make this decision, talk to my husband about it, see the doctor, order all the stuff, and then actually not pour the wine has been so incredibly high that today I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I just wanted to share it.

Helpmeet, my hubby and I met at a pub and were/are drinking buddies and even though he’s 240 pounds and me 160, I drank way more than he does. Same story as yours, he goes to bed, I continue to drink and crash on the couch.

Went to a great outdoor party last night, had no craving to drink at all and had a great time. Great bands were playing and I danced. Because I’m creating an artist place/bar at my barn I’m very popular with the musicians/artists and was proud to be sober for once. Came home had a beer and didn’t even drink ? of it. Woke up with a whopper headache though, but am confident I can cure it with allergy medication. I’ll let you know jane rees.
