Welcome Locoman! I think AV means alcoholic voice. At least that is what I have gathered. Others might say different.
Interesting how so many are liking the AA meetings! Maybe I will consider checking one out. I think I am doing ok but I did slip after 18 months and it took me anther 18 months to get back on track. I can't forget that.

Well done everyone. Congratulations Findingtheway, Minion, Locoman, Big C and Gwen. Stay strong and focus on the positives. I slept like a baby last night. I don't know if it's my body catching up or just normal without booze in my system, but it was great! Day 5

Hi all, can I join? Like Locoman I feel I'm coming a bit late to the party, is that okay? I'm on Day 3 now and will be tested tonight because we have a guest and both he and my husband will be drinking. Once I'm over this hurdle, I'll feel a lot more confident about the coming days, weeks, months.
The longest I've ever quit for is three months, that was last spring and this site helped loads. This time I want it to be for good. Nice to meet you all

Welcome Snowbunting! Stay strong tonight! I was in your other discussion. Play up the cold and that you do not feel well and just hunker down at home with a movie. Or something you enjoy. Don't suffer through it, but make it pleasant/enjoyable for yourself, even though you are not going out drinking with them.

Thanks for your tips on my predicament. I'm going to make the evening while they're out really enjoyable - watching a favourite movie, eating well and drinking my favourite herbal teas and smoothies. I'm a bit worried about when they come back - they'll be merry etc - but I'll definitely be playing up the whole 'I have a terrible cold, you won't mind if I hit the sack soon' angle!

Day 18! Had kind of a bad day yesterday, poor sleep, then had a 2.5 hour meeting with clients at work, the first 30 minutes were serious panic attack, my legs were visibly shaking. I was hoping I wouldn't need my medication, I guess I shouldn't try without it just yet. I think I have some nervous system damage from alcohol and drugs. The good news is I have absolutely no desire to drink whatsoever. Tonight I'm doing 3 mile bike race, should be fun.
