Thanks Peeps

Wifes birthday on 1st Jan so she is not all that happy with this as a start date

On a better note my 25mg of Baclofen tablets turned up this morning - Only ordered on 22nd December from India :welldone:

I am finding Baclofen to be making me very tired even at this rate and especially has reduced my alcohol tollerance to such a state that I have been to pissed to update my blog - Which is disapointing

Ok - Today is day 1

This is the first day for decades I have not had a drink

Wife and I took our daughter to London to see a show so I did have "other" things to occupy my mind - There will be harder days to come I am sure

I am going to bath the kids and read them a story on the sofa

Baclofenman -sounds like you are off to a GREAT start. I have a feeling that you will wake up in the morning and NOT be pissed off that you did not drink last night. For me the somnolence was hell for 5 or 6 weeks but then it slowly began to dissipate. Great post for me to read tonight. Thanks.

Thanks for you post - Today will be the worst day I am sure - 2nd day without a drink for the first time in 30 years..lol - I have got a nagging pain in my head but I expect this is the Baclofen? - Sorry but I am unsure what you mean by somnolence - I was hoping I would sleep better AF or do you mean the Baclofen?

Thanks and Regards

Bacman - We are rooting for you!! I am a newbie too. I had to google somnolence (I had no clue) and it means drowsiness . . . I was curious. Have the best day you can. I will too. Take care - AG

AG - Thanks - Im not sure if SF is refering to drowsyness ( i googled it too lol) as a result of Baclofen or no booze - Are you sober?

Edit - oh yes I see you are - WELL DONE

Day 3

First day back at work - Boooo
Still I am thinking this may take my mind of "it" until later on in the evening so with only a few hours till bed it may not be too tricky - Then again the prospect of work tomorrow will possably be more difficult than day 2

We will see

Good job on day 3 Bacman.

I got a M-F day job a few years ago when I was really at a low point for the purpose of getting sober, where the only way was up or 6ft under. It helped immensely having the days filled, and as you've mentioned all I had to do was plan for those 4 hours or so in the evening before bed. Movies, reading, anything to distract my monkey mind chatter. Snacks, AF drinks and a couple of options for the night got me through.

And don't forget your toolbox. https://www.mywayout.org/community/mo...-tool-box.html

All the best friend. Keep it going.

Thanks so much

The toolbox is very useful - I cannot agree more that occupying your time to distract you from the drink is right at the top of the list - Work, computer and TV is my main crutches along with reading to my kids before bed

Day 4

I did notice yesterday how my eyesight is improving - Yes I still have a problem but I did notice driving into work how clearer I was seeing - I felt more alert at work tho my spelling has not improved and I still put letters the wrong way around although this has been more evident since my TIA which killed part of my brain although my cardiologist could not be sure at the time how this would effect me

I am hoping this week will be as "easy" as it has been so far but my next tripping point will be the weekend so I am making plans to fill this as soon as

Thankyou for all your support

Regards

Good work, Bac!

And good points G. Weekends were always the toughest time for me, as hey! Everyone was drinking!

Good that you're starting to fill your weekend up. And make sure to eat lots. And get extra sleep.
