Guess what I did yesterday?

I got my nails done!! I know to many of you (especially you manly men) this may not seem much of an accomplishment, but it is for me.

I used to have my nails done every two to three weeks. As my drinking and anxiety increased my hands would shake more and more often. It's hard to have a manicure with shaking hands - It's also kinda embarrising!

Today is day 13, and my hands don't shake anymore!!

Who else has an accomplishment to share??

Never had my nails done, but I know the feeling when you stop shaking.

Congrats to you!

i'd say that is a huge accomplishment, tinlizzy!

gotta ask you, if you don't mind - how do you feel about pedicures? i can't stand them, i hate it when people touch my feet. i get 'em every once in awhile, and then just end up feeling tortured the entire time. sorry, off topic - maybe there's another support group for people with pedicure phobia? k

good for you! keep it up! each day for me is a miracle - the obsession to drink or more importantly to 'drink normally' has been lifted. one day at a time.

Ed I have had a pedicure before, but the bikini wax is something I do not even want to think about!!! LOL

Congrats on the shaking stopping and getting your nails done to celebrate, I used to buy myself nothing but booze, now I treat myself to a new book on occasion.

Yes I got my toes done too. I love a good pedicure!

Ed - You're on your own for the bikini wax. I had no idea you had such proclivities. If you start sporting a spedo, please post a pic!!

Taz - I love a great read!

my head still shakes, dont know how much that is to do with the alcohol abuse or if its just a nuro thing. maybe one day ill get it checked out. most of the time i dont even know its happening until someone asks me if im ok then they tell me...

as far as the waxing, please, no pic in speedo. althought, i do get my arms waxed, tattoos, ya know. easier than shaving.
