Hi Mark great to hear from you, keep it going

Cant believe I slept for a full 12 hours and went out for a walk down by the sea, Just home and feeling quite ''normal'' today. I would still love a drink but dont need a drink as the body has stopped screaming at me for alcohol, just a whimper now !
Was in Tesco on the way home for bread and milk and I spotted turkey brest steaks on special so tonight its Turky casserole with heaps of veg cooked in a chausser sauce and a bar of chocolate for afters !
When I am drinking everything goes out the window and eating, showering, food shopping clothes washing all go on the back burner. The fridge is now full, bed changed, clothes and me washed just because I stopped. I am even thinking of darkening the door of the local AA meeting tonight.
Will keep you posted and thank you all for your support.
Mark. :thanks:

Mark: that makes me happy to hear. I like you get nothing done when I am drinking. Actually went and did a whole food shopping yesterday (it's been months since my last one). I usually am too hungover to spend a considerable amount of time in the store so I just go and buy what I need for dinner and rush home.
Congrats for getting past the first couple of really rough days!!!

Day 4. My self imposed life as a hermit ends today and my phone is switched on again.
I feel quite good and the cravings have nearly gone. So today I am going on a train journey somewhere and just enjoy the day. Will talk later and thank you all.:yay:

Hi Mark well done on day 4 and your progress so far. I have been there too many times with slipups benders etc and nothing gets done. The housework clothes washing and not showering for days changing the bed it all goes pearshaped for drink. and also taking meds i tend to forget those too. So glad to be sober and have a much cleaner house daily showers med taking and laundry done when the basket is full. To wake up hangover free is a gift. I still get longings for a drink but not too bad so i keep busy. I go to AA meetings and find them a big help to be in a room with people in the same boat. Do give it a try when you are ready for it and let us know how you get on. Continued success and hugs to me fellow Dub.:l

Thanks Firefox, I used to go to AA regurarly but over time I let it slip. I will get back to it when I feel ready for it. I sometimes do an online meeting which is interesting !
Take Care

Back to normal again. The trick now is to stay stopped. I know that the longer I stay stopped the weeks turn into months and then years, Baby steps for the time being !

Mark, just wanted to welcome you and hope you are still ok. Please let us know. I know all about the wagon fall, and am back again in full swing, and praying I will stick to it this time. I can only write down the HELL those first few days were. Good Luck.

Hi Sameoldstory. It's good you're here. VERY GOOD. :welcome:

Mark's protocol is an excellent start for you. I, like Molly, had some concern about Mark being alone but it seems to have turned out well for him.

Have you detoxed before then? What is your level/habit of drinking? If you post a bit more about your current situation, I'm sure there will be loads of support for you.

One Day At A Time and you can do it. Look around at all the successes.

Mark, love the way you laid out your plan and congratulations on your successful implementation. :goodjob:
