Good Job Beth! Day 3 was the hardest for me. Tommorrow will be better. Every day from now on will be better. Get through this 1 time, you never want to do this again. Make a vow to yourself. Tell "The Beast" you are in charge now, not him.
You've done a great job getting to this point, don't blow it now. We're all behind you.

Thanks again for the help, and yes, I'll see you tomorrow.......

Hi Wonder- just seeing this thread now so sorry I wasn't here to help but so glad others were and that you got thru it. Hope you are in bed now and I know you will feel stronger and better in the morning.
Sleep well-

WONDERWORLD,
3 days AF and your thinking of screwing that up? Dont do it. I know you hurt your ankle,but take some Ibuprophen for that instead of booze. 3 days is ALOT of time to be AF and your mind/body/soul are just ''now'' starting to overcome the distress of the booze you drank in the past.Why screw this up?You'll FEEL so much better in the morning if you do like we say and dont give into AL.

Close your eyes,imagine the most beautilful waterfalls, slowly take a DEEP breath, slowly let it out----now ''relax'' to the enjoyment of the waterfalls.Dont allow anything to come between you and the veiw of the beautiful waterfalls.

Wonder, if you have not taken it before you might want to try the Kudzu sold here. It really works, esp., when taken with a little L-glutamine.

Great job making it through!!!

Good morning!!!! First, let me say that the FULL CAVALRY of help I got last night is nothing short of astonishing. You ALL saved my A** !!!!!!!!!! If I hadn't reached out here, I WOULD have taken a drink, this I know for sure. I love you all and can't begin to say how grateful I am.


My ankle is a mess!!! It's very painful and really hard to walk on. I know there's a big bottle of ibuprofen somewhere in this house, but I can't find it. I took some tylenol (not as good for a sprain, I know) a little while ago, and I'm going to call a friend to bring me ibuprofen later (it's only 6:22 am here). What a time to get wounded!

Okay. So it's Day 4 AF. Thank God. It's amazing that anyone like me ever gets through these early days. The combination of craving, guilt and terror is a B*&%#! And that old stinking-thinking cycle of "I feel so bad that I drank, so I want to drink to forget it" is really tough.

Looking forward to spending the day here with all of you. You're THE BEST!!!

Much luv,:h :h

Good morning Beth and welcome to Day 4! Like Lushy said the Kudzu is great and even sprinkling some Lglut under your tongue does wonders for those nasty cravings!
Good luck!

Thanks Beaches - I'm waiting for the Kudzu to come in the mail - can't wait to try it.

Beth, maybe you need to go to the doc and get an xray on your ankle. I hope it feels better soon. Good job on hanging in there last night and not letting the drink get the better of you.

Well done, Beth.
Tough at the time, but you proved you`re tougher!!

Hi Memarcie - I was thinking about that too (xray). But despite the throbbing pain it doesn't look too swollen or messed up. I'm almost certain it's just a bad sprain - also from the way it happened - just stepped on a rock and twisted it. I think it'll be okay - just a huge annoyance. But if it gets any worse I'll go ......

Hi Beth-

I just caught this thread now...wish I had seen it last night to be one of the "calvery" to help you through...but YOU MADE IT!!! It was not very long ago that I was on day 3 (about a month) and I remember needing the strength of the others here to get me through that awful craving!!! Each one from here on in will be a little easier...just keep on fighting them...you won't believe how quickly it eases up from here on in!!!

YOU GO GIRL!!!

OH, by the way...I love your name!! lol

With love,

Beth!
