    God, I just don't want to drink today

    Hi -- I've only been here a few days and haven't received the book or supplements but started AB two days ago. And I feel cruddy this morning. Nauseous as the toxins leave my body, skin crawling, tired. I haven't been able to exercise due to a bumm ankle I twisted (bad) 2 weeks ago (when I was drinking) and about four days ago I started what is now an awful ear ache, so swimming is out. It's Sat. and it is only 8 in the am here and the day stretches before me and all my good intentions seem overwhelming. O heaven's sorry for whining! I've been here, Day 3, before and it's long and the convention of voices is beginning in the head. I guess what triggered this is I went out to my swim pool and realized I couldn't even do laps to get through this. I don't know how to 'sit' to get through anything but I feel so low grade fluish I don't know how to move today so it's one of those just white knuckle it days....anyway, god I just don't want to drink today and I've got to keep that in my mind no matter what. I have some L-Glut left in the house but need some heathy food. I know go slow ---It's only 14 hours to bed time

    thx for listening

    Hi Padme, welcome.
    Keep coming back to this site and you will feel better.
    I'm feeling a bit grotty at the moment as I have a virus,
    so I can sympathise with you. But you will feel better if
    you can manage to keep off the drink.
    Best of luck.

      How many times have I been there?!!! Do you have a garden to sit in for 2 minutes? Instead of saying I don't wan't to drink, think I want to stay sober or something. It really works. I know how you feel. Just try to sit and listen to your voices and see how things really do pass. Tell those drunkk voices to go away!
      It sounds simple but it does work

        Padme,

        Sorry you feeling so awful. It is hard to know how to pass time when you have so little energy. Luckily, my kids have activities today so that will get me out of the house. I woke up with more energy than I have now--just a few hours later. So it's time to get moving. Do you have a friend you can call to go for walk? Get out of the house, even if it's just to walk around the mall. I find staying in all day makes it harder to not drink as the evening approaches. Good luck!

          Awww Padme dear.....sorry to hear you're feeling rotten
          Is there anything you feel up to so you can make this a nice(ish) sober day, rather than one where you're just counting down the hours??
          Wot about a few good dvds if you really feel that a walk or similar is out of the question...if you're feeling a bit rough and shivery, have a good hot bath and put in some epsom salts to sweat a few toxins out, but don't stay in too long or it can make you feel worse.....dose yourself up with some hot water with honey and fresh lemon in and it hopefully will make you feel a little more human.

          It's usually better to try and do something with 'spare' days such as the one you have described when starting AF, but don't wear yourself out.....you're doing well to abstain chick, your bugs will feel far worse if you feed them any narsty booze....
          stay strong sweetie......Weemelon xxx

            I hope you're feeling better today. I can so sympathize - for whatever the reason the third day is always the worst for me as well. It's a shame you can't do your laps, as they might make you feel better, but don't let the fact that you can't make you feel even worse. We all just do what we can. Be gentle with yourself. This part will pass.

              Hello Padme,
              I think it's probably the same for everyone who goes through this thing.
              A part of the process.
              I hope that you feel better soon.

                Padme,
                It does get better...at first I thought..."how am I ever going to get through this day" I couldn't imagine what I was going to do with my time...you HAVE to find something. I chose gardening...I used to love it...so I just picked it back up...of course, it is a family joke now that our yard looks like a botanical garden and that we may not eat but we have flowers...LOL. I spend HOURS each weekend gardening. Find something and MAKE yourself do it...you won't like it at first...but make yourself like it...it will come with time.
