Congrats Anon on the AFness AND the 12-holy-moly-I'm-impressed-miles! Hang in there. You can do it. I find that exercise is an excellent distraction from my addictions. Ironing???? Not so much.

Woke up this morning with a smile. I am so lucky no shakes or similar horrors. Legs aching from the long run yesterday -what a wonderful feeling!

Anon,

If it helps - I am right there with you. I have been here for a couple of years and keep loosing my way. Fortunately there are a lot great people here to support us.
Please pray that I can hold out this time and I will do the same for you.

I'm on day 4,a mere amateur,but what keeps me going is waking in the morning saying 'i didn't drink y'day'it gives me a high.
I imagine how i'd feel if i drank.A failure and full of shit.
This keeps me going,maybe it'l help you?
I'm going to feel even better 2moro than 2day cause i'll be on day 5!!!!

Please try and hold out,we can do this!
You will feel great about yourselves in the morning....i promise..

my prayers are for us all,

love & hugs

Anon,

Awesome job on the 12 miler !! I can never run in the morning either. Too exhausted from the bottle of wine I consumed the night before. I alway exercise at lunch time during work or late in the afternoon on weekends.

On my 37th birthday I went for a run in the morning. I was almost home from a 3 mile run, and I must have passed out going up a hill. I came to when both my elbows were scraping payment. I thought I broke both elbows, but x-ray showed nothing. Just badly scratched up with gravel all under the skin. I guess I was just so dehydrated from the wine the night before. No more of that. I always hydrate with water before bed now.

But no wine tonight for me. I'm way over due for a AF night ! You just gave me a new goal. You ran 12 miles, so I'm going to go for a 6 miler after a get a quite a few AF nights under my belt. Thanks !!

Good Luck to you !!

So fed up and ashamed I drank last night. Not a great deal but enough to get me drunk. Normally I would just stop trying at this stage, but I am going to go back to day one again.
I will keep posting and try to remember how wonderful those few days without a hangover felt. I am in the mood for a fight with this bloody addiction

Thank you for those messages. I posted early this morning and when there was no response I thought people may be angry with me! How pathetic being an alcoholic can make you feel. Anyway day one seems ok to me. Thanks again for your genorous support.
