Day 11 - halfway through week 2.
Hello classmates, we are getting quite a crowd in here now aren't we. Starting to make some real progress.
Had my first drink dream last night. Anyone else in here start to get those after a while sober? At least I am starting to sleep and dream properly again.
Keep up the good work all. Hello to todays new starters.

Starting day 5.
Can seem to kick my air con induced cold. My emotions are fluctuating between pink cloud happiness that I've stopped drinking and slight depression that I feel terrible despite not drinking.
Have to admit that I did have cravings yesterday at work which is par of the course for me. Dealt with it with time and cookies.

Wrigley will you keep us posted on your experience with antabuse? I have been considering it and would like to hear a personal account. Thank you=)
Day 2- feeling much better this morning. Still worn out and a little depressed but I know that will get better with time.
Thinking about all of you and hope your day goes as smoothly as possible.

Hi Lily, I will definitely share about how it goes with the Antabuse. Thanks for asking. Glad to help anyone else if I can. Just took my first dose about an hour or two ago. Knowing that it can cause side effects for up to two weeks is a very good thing for me. Just going to take it one day at a time though, as we all are.

Yup - sick and tired of being sick and tired. I tapered yesterday, so today is the dreaded Day #1. Reading "This Naked Mind" which is a real help........may each of you feel empowered to change today.

Welcome Done4ever - Lovely to have you here with us X
Waking up on Day 8. Had a fabulous sleep but the last couple of days I have been waking up with a little headache - not sure what the cause of this is but perhaps I'm not hydrating myself enough. Will try and drink more water today. Just about to get kitted up for a little run. Happy sober Thursday all X

Hi everyone,
I'm in for the July group...not sure how many classes I have joined this year but I know it's too many.
Starting over today on day 1...feeling awful but determined not to drink today. I have busy day planned and don't want alcohol hol to be a part of it.
Looking forward to connecting with all of you xo
Dee, already re-reading about a recovery plan...thanks

Looks like we are the two "day owners" here. How did you sleep last night? I didn't get a single minute, but will probably have more success today/tonight. Very upset stomach which will make keeping food down today a bit of challenge.....it was yesterday as well. I sent the following text to a friend:
I reread Rich Dad, Poor Dad yesterday (yes, you need to get). It was disturbing as all the advice he was giving (be focused, abundance mentality, no decisions based on fear, look for opportunities as they are always there), all describe the person I once was, but am no longer. Alcohol Me killed him off. Alcohol Me also killed off Cycling Me, Reader Me, Husband Me, Trader Me, etc. - it was the first time that I realized that I don't "miss" alcohol as much as I thought, as realistically, the only thing I am built for right now is drinking. Hence, the need recreate a whole new lifestyle.
