Hi and congratulations on 1 day. After a short period things usually get better in it’s own time. I needed to concentrate on one day at a time, sometimes 1 minute. It helped to try to concentrate on non drinking thoughts and in my case going to meetingS for flesh support and where people understood my pains.

BE WELL

day 2 is tough.... hubby working away for the first time in over 25 years................. he's in a hotel supping beer and i sooo want some wine.....
tried to keep things normal, went to slimming club.......only to gain weight
sorry to ask as a newbie but i could do with a hug.x

SR is here for you petals!!

The negative thoughts should diminish as time goes by. And, remember, you can be aware of the thoughts and then just let them go.

Big hug to you, petal

It will get easier - and think of all those empty wine calories you're saving. Slimming club could be a whole lot different next time

Just had a phone call from hubby.... hes had a few pints and is having a great time..... he has made me even more sad and lonley....not the same slurping a bottle of sugar free squash.... on a posative I didnt get any wine when I was out.....and although I really wanted to have a drink I refused to let myself pop out and buy some.

Wonderful job on reaching Day 2. The uneasy feelings will eventually disappear as you grow stronger. Sorry you had a setback hearing from your husband. Proud of you for not caving and buying wine! There's nothing in it for us anymore petals.
