Welcome back Sue. I think so many of us can empathize, and also say ah-huh, with you.
So easy to start drinking again and it takes a lot longer to decide to stop again.

Please join us in the Newbie Nest Roll Call? I have the great pleasure of awarding the first 7 day prize and would love to give you your prize today!��

Hi Eloise,
Thanks, I am heading on over to the Newbie Nest Roll call next! I think that is just awesome, and really want to add my name to the list!!!

Hi Sue
I am just starting and am on day 1_ like you I have "treated" and rewarded myself with wine every night .I have a stressful job and 4 kids and also care for my elderly dad so I have a lot on .I have used wine to reward myself, to help switch off and to relax. I now have to train my brain otherwise .
I hope I can sleep tonight without the wine to switch me off

Well done for getting to day 6 !

Hi Kuchykoo,
Congrats on your wise decision to go AF!
Sleeping was a bit hard for me the first few nights, but I am "armed" with Calm's Forte (homeopathic sleep aid), chamomile tea, herbal valerian....etc Just a couple of "helpers" to take the edge off in the beginning or as needed....There is a lot of information on this forum, and I am sure if you have trouble sleeping, someone will have a suggestion!

GOOD LUCK, and again congrats on your decision to join us!

Thanks, Dan! My goal is FOREVER! :happy2:

Are you new to the forum? If so, I recommend checking out the Newbies nest and the Toolbox. Both helped me tremendously! Also the Newbies roll call is very satisfying! The days add up quickly !
Good luck to you!
