Thanks Spuddleduck
How far down the road are you with beating your drinking? You sound as though you have conquered the first steps and actually finding thigs better?
Still sticking with it today and making plans to avoid indulging later on. Usually I would have had a glass or 2 by now, so ........ maybe there is hope for Day 2!?

butterfly, im coming up 2 months AF. in recent years, before this i had done 5 days once and 3 days a few times. this time something must have just clicked. coming here has been the best thing ever, i couldnt have done it without MWO. i read and read and read. the first few days were tough but once i hit my 5 day goal i havent looked back. i had originally intended trying for 30 days then trying modding. theres no way i could do that at the moment... if ever. stick at it, it really is worth it

Starting Day 3. Just the state 'no alcohol' leaves me feeling shocked. I just want to take something to feel 'normal' and get rid of this headache and just to feel 'different'. I must have an arsenal of meds, but none of them interest me. I just still want 'relief' from alcohol. I'm going back to bed.

Two months is fantastic! Congrats to you for sticking with it. If you know what it was that 'clicked' I would love the secret!
Going out for a while as need some fresh air; have some chores that have to be accomplished today as put off for a week or so due the alcohol! And I need the distraction at this time of day which will hopefully carry me through to cope with the rest of the day and evening!
Really going to try to get 2 days AF and then one day at a time; although 5 days seems like a good goal.
Thanks

Welcome, day 1!! I was where you are--Day 1, 3 days ago and I lived on this site, making it through each minute or hour. I'm checking in again now as although I feel better physically, it's my 'witching hours' and my mind wants to say, "F' it" and go drink, so I come here and post or read and just let time pass.

Hi Day 1

Welcome to the site. I'm new as well. Day 5 AF for me.
You can do it, look for positive images, thoughts, even a few laughs on YouTube. I love the search function on youtube to bring up any subject I want - even motivation videos, or funny kittens make me laugh.

Anyway, hang in there and read lots of stories on this site. It helps alot.
