Welcome, ILoved -

Congratulations for making this decision! It's scary at first, but things really will get better as you move forward. This place got me through those first days, so keep reading and posting!

Take it a day at a time and don't hesitate to see a doc if you have withdrawal symptoms.

Hello ILoved! We can do this together! I used to love Cabernet in the winter and Pinot Grigio in the summer. But now I love that I am 9 days without. I’m looking forward to double digits tomorrow!

Congrats Benice.

I loved all varital's of wine. I used to have a vip pass to take people thru Napa, from the restaurant I worked at in San Fran. Then moved to Ohio and worked for a winery.

My life without it so just so much more peaceful.

You can be free.

Welcome!!

21 days ago I went back to my first AA meeting in 3.5 years. I am spiritual and let the universe decide. I am not in control. And this has brought about nothing but positive things in my life from relationships with other people (alcoholics or not), my bank account and most importantly - myself.

You will soon find that things for once in life seem to be going "your way" - although it's not really "your or my way" - it's just going with the grain for once, and not against it.

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and now I keep it simple!

I'm so glad I found this forum. I am on day 8, off opiates that I have been abusing for 6 years. I still have trouble sleeping at night and I crave often, but I keep busy. I hope the insomnia ceases soon, as I have to be at work in the mornings. One day at a time
