It really helps. It's one of those things that fades with time(only a much shorter time than childbirth) Course I always had to put it in a notepad on the computer b/c I would shake so badly I couldn't write.

I am going to hurt tomorrow
thanx again for your good wishes. a journal is a good idea. I like to type/write/remember things. i like the written word. i will start one on the computer right after this.
I have had less vodka so far today. small progress but progress all the same. i cannot see the doctor, no way but i am grateful for your support and i'm trying. hard. you have all helped me today, a lot.
tomorrow it will be less vodka, then less again the day after that. i have promised before, but this time i will deliver. my rock bottom wasn't a nice place to be.

I am thinking of you too..... you will get better, many people have been on the streets with nothing and got better and you can too. We have all been there. You will be feeling very low now but you just have to think that that is normal and that that feelings are not long term tomorrow is a new day and a new start. after you feel better you must get up clean the house and have a bath and make yourself clean that will make you feel more positive and in control.
Keep checking in, i am at work and will be checking regularly.
Much love xx

1 of 7,
You have come to a place where you can get the greatest support in the world, from people who understand what you are experiencing and won't judge.
In the days before I totally quite drinking, I knew that I had to. But, it seemed that I drank even more, knowing that I would soon be eliminating alcohol. Like, if you knew you could never have chocolate again in your life, you would be sure to eat your fill, before it was forbidden. Maybe it is you "knowing" inside, that this has to end.
I wish you stregnth to accomplish what ever you desire! Today is 30 days AF for me.
Hugs and support,

i wanted to update you on my progress. i am feeling so much better. i've slowly tapered the vodka down. First night of tapering after my binge was horrible but i've seen a lot of progress in 3 days. i have the book, the kudzu, the l glut. i have fought the urge to drink today as i relaise how good i feel compared to just 3 days ago.
i've tackled a lot of chores and left the house to go shopping for the first time in 7 days. it felt good. thank you for your support. i know i am by no means cured, never will be, but i feel hope.....

one of 7, some nutrients your body is in critical need of right now (in addition to a good multi vitamin)
B1 Thiamine (at least 200mg twice per day)
Magnesium (approx 200 mg twice per day)
Vitamin C (500mg twic per day)
why they are important is a long story but if you can get them you'll be much better off.
hang in there!!nosce te ipsum

Thanx again all of you. every one of you that took time to reply has spurred me on. i have got the vitamins now, i have ditched the vodka. it's a struggle. A big struggle for me to do this. I am still drinking wine but i hope to cut that out soon. i feel so much better. i will be trying to update my progress in "just starting out" now, instead of this forum - my need for help asap has passed. And I'm grateful to each and every one of you.
i was so low the day that i posted, but now i'm getting out and about, catching up on chores, etc. And I feel good. still struggling like i said, but i'm very encouraged so far.
:thanks: :h
