Morning Folks,
As some of you know - I am fairly new here - posted on My Story before - but now I'm committed to this course of action, I thought I would post here from now on!
Confidence or what!!
Well this is morning of Day 3 AF for me
- I neatly sidestepped the beer store last night again by sending one of my kids when we needed some supplies!
That big chiller cabinet full of Stella (my poison of choice) won't get me without a fight!
It is strange the way one's body reacts - when I made the decision NOT to go to the store it gave me an acheing / longing feeling in the pit of my stomach - almost like losing a loved one!
But - I guess that is exactly what it is tho'
Stella and I need some time apart!
So Far, So Good
I did not sleep well last night again - but I guess that is to be expected, so I am still feeling like a zombie!
But that is still better than being a hung-over zombie!
I also can't yet get over the habit of being up real late (used to do this in order to have more drink when everyone else has gone to bed!). So I will need to try to move bed time a little earlier as time goes on - but early days.
I also seem to have lost my appetite - which is probably something I need to watch out for, as I am pretty lean already and I must have been getting the majority of my daily calorie intake from beer in the past!
I hope you will bear with me if I continue to post this boring stuff for a while - it is the anticipation of being able to share my successes (and I WILL be successful!!!) with you guys, that is keeping me on the path!!
I have hidden my problem so successfully - even from my immediate family - so well, that I do not think that they understand / believe the true extent of the problem, so they think that me not drinking for a few days is no big deal! (Not a great deal of support available there!)
Hopefully you guys know different about how it is!
The true test will come in the next few days as I am attempting Mods! In the past, one drink usually led to more - sometimes many more!
Better go do some work now.
Take care - hope you have a good day - keep them demons at bay!!
