Just wanted to pop in to wish you all luck on this wonderful journey. I'm class of May, 2011, and after thirty years of drinking and drugging, I was able to do it so far, one day at a time. Keep focus, work hard, and watch those who succeeded before you. Rock on Aprilites.

Smile Good Morning All!

Day 2, and I am feeling okay. Take one valium a day, and got lots of rest last night (8:30-5:50.) No sweats, and while I woke up a bit in fits and starts, I didn't stay awake, and managed the entire night in bed.

Feeling a bit shakey, but believe my blood sugar is low. I went on a Whole Foods regime as well, and have cut out sugar, wheat, gluten, etc. Basically, not eating anything that isn't completely natural. Seemed to work for me last night.

Hope everyone is doing okay this morning. I am sending lots of good wishes to my classmates. I have profound faith in all of us!

I've been on and off again for awhile and lurked around SR for ages but time to get really serious about it and make the mental shift.

Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

Back at you Tyre. Glad to have you on the journey with us!

Hi all,
Well I got a good nights sleep as well which I find makes a huge difference.

Yesterday's desire was pretty bad but managed to get through it - hits me at my normal drinking times as well as sneaking up randomly.

Made work on time and nothing too challenging on the radar today which is helpful.

Go well today everyone.
Tyre

Good luck April-ites! Rely on each other for encouragement, know that you CAN do this, and stay strong!

welcome BF and scared1.

I second what EQ says - you've come a long way BF - and you never give up... that counts for something.

I kept drinking too until the enormity of what I was doing to myself over and over eclipsed the enormity (and the scariness) of the changes I needed to make.

I really hope you and everyone here is at that point

we can do this

I think it might be best for you to see a Dr sthurn - it may be something very simple, but throwing up blood is pretty much 'see someone just in case' things...

welcome maples

Day 2 went well at work. Didn't really think about it at all. It was amazing to not have a hangover today. I was really productive. I'm sure I'll struggle the second the sun goes down.

Having a really hard time. We came home, and husband opened a beer. This is when I would normally have a wind down glass. I am physically okay. Just pissed off. And agititated. Going to bed early with the kids.

I had to change a lot of my friends - they just couldn't or wouldn't understand.

In the end tho, it was down to me - I had to change or die - whether others 'got it' or not, y'know?

Cool - it is nice to be normal and not have a hang over. I've had enough of those days where I thought to myself that the day will be a called succesful if I can manage not to throw up.
Well done TrackDay
