Evening all :ghug
I got carried away this evening and I even walked the dogs
Tomorrow I will not eat crap!!
Cravings were really bad until later this evening and then they eased. It's always the same time of day.
How are you all? Wonder how CG is getting on?

There willl be many more!
But at the end of this day I feel calm and looking forward to a good nights sleep. Cant believe it's the end of day three. I was getting to the stage I thought I was never going to get another day sober.
I couldn't do it with out all of your help, thank you :ghug3

6 weeks, I have never gone that far since, well I don't know actually. I must have been a teenager. 13yrs old or something. OMG what a scarey thought. I think I started with the odd bit of cider at parties when I was about 14yrs old.
Anyway I am off to the land of dreams, night all.
CG I hope your day went well.

Hi everyone!
Had a close call today. My brother and his girlfriend gave me a bottle of wine for my birthday - omg, was not expecting that. Gratefully, the day went pretty well, a friend I've known my whole life stopped by and ate with us. My mom cooked cornish game hens for everyone - yes, whole ones. They were delicious, along with some winter salad, wild rice stuffing, and dinner rolls. My niece was adorable as usual but in a grouchy mood due to a growth spurt (she's almost 3 months old). There wasn't any major family drama, just kind of an elephant in the room that was never acknowledged (in this case, that was a good thing).
After I left, I drove straight to the store and threw away the bottle of wine. I felt bad - it was my favorite, a shiraz. Felt wrong to let it go to waste, but it would have been a disaster to drink it and luckily I was feeling strong enough to get rid of it.
Hope everybody else had a good day as well... Wibbs, what's this about a rant?

Well done pixx & CG.
Day 4 and the largest part of the weekend over. Its quite an achievement to get through this first weekend.
I'm surprised by how strong the cravings are this time, although I was surprised when I drank at Christmas how much I drank and how much I could drink.
I can take the mood swings and ****** moods, I just need to get some more time under my belt. Its all just about time isn't it.

Time, time, time. I hate that fact. I'm on day 16, my wibbly wobbly time! But I am so determined to get past this point. Just to see if it gets better.
My plan is to try the 90 days thing. If I still feel like crap, I want my misery back. But like us all, patience isn't a strong point of mine.
CG - I was dreading getting wine for a Christmas present, but that was my plan if I did - bin it, somewhere far away. I couldn't have poured it down the drain, coz I would have smelt it.
Pixy - you go girl. So proud of you. Evenings and weekends - very looong, but the more you get through, the easier it gets. Even if you have to take it 15 minutes at a time in the beginning. That is how I got through my Friday nights.
(Nands) hope you feel better. Let the river flow right past (how easy to say, right?)

It certainly feels massive, Wibble. Like a massive 16 weeks, lol!!!! But this is where I consistently mess up, so I go forth with trepidation!
Note to self: don't forget to go to work tomorrow - back to the grindstone - poo!
