day 4 sees me on a shopping spree..
I feel ok, a bit anxious and short of breath ( I've always had hyperventilation syndrome ) but I ended up going out and buying a juicer and a fridge full of fruit and vegetables I think I'm trying to overcompensate.but I the Av is still there telling me it would b easier to grab some wine and drink this day away instead of trying to get better. But I won't.

I like treating myself too. I figure with the money I save not drinking and smoking cigs I can afford to get a little "retail therapy" once in a while. I've thought about getting a juicer because I don't eat a lot of fruit but I do like smoothies and fruit juice. Let us know how you like it. Keep up the good work animalnurse.

Lorax took my line. I defintely do a little retail therapy from time to time. It isn't the best thing for my pocketbook at times, but it is infinitely better than drinking.
Same goes for cooking. I was a drunk that hardly ever ate while I was drinking, so I put on weight after I quit. However I will never be arrested for "drving while fat".

Taking5 that last comment made me laugh! So true. I have been to boxing tonight and had two fruit / vegie juices packed wth spinach.they were actually good! Then my new boxing friends asked me out for a drink Thursday night. I so badly wanted to say yes, who's driving??? I really had that craving. Instead I said, I don't drink and instead of it being awkward they said, they do really good food! Lol guess its not a big deal for ppl who don't know the reason why

Sounds like a very productive spending spree animalnurse 
I usually just come back with loads of books and CDs. Talking of juicing, have you heard of Jason Vale? He is an ex drinker who now juices stuff He wrote a book on giving up drinking so it seems kind of fitting x
