Bravo to you Petal!
Just got home from work (...I have to work a large part of the night to finish my project) and when I opened the fridge I saw that my husband had purchased a box of white wine.... I walked upstairs in my office and cried. Stupid to be so emotional but it's the way it's going today. I'm strong and I won't touch that box. I don't have it in me to ask him not to buy wine for a while, in his mind I'm just being good and taking a break like I do sometimes... I haven't told him that I mean to be this good forever. .. I think I will have too...

Oh I'm joining this very late. I quit on the 7th

That was a pretty horrible day though. Hospital visit with withdrawals for IV benzo.

One week sober today. Feeling a new kind of happiness inside this time around. Just wish I could sleep.

So depressed today. Just felt like drinking to take the pain away. I didn't & I won't but my dog needs a $1500 operation :-( so much money needed for bills already

Finishing up day three (check my join date) after many tries. I feel committed, and am actually very committed to quitting..it has just been hard.

Today I felt great, but this afternoon I became extremely tired. I'm a little afraid I might have something wrong with me, but I'm gonna just stick it out.

My daughter has asked us to go to karaoke tomorrow night, and I'm going to decline saying I haven't been feeling well--which I haven't. Repetitive binges have a way of doing that.

Anyhow...I'm glad you're all here. This will, of course, be hard.

Hi, my July friends.

Unbelievable, but I slipped big time yesterday, again consumed some ridiculous amount of food, and on Day 1 again.


It's the last day of July today. And I am not leaving July class!!!!

And I won't let my free of eating binge life go any more!!!

See you all later.

Thank you gladiolus. I too haven't told hubby so he keeps getting drink in... makes it tricky it calls to me from the fridge! But am a bit hesitant about telling him yet. We must keep strong.xx

Kahlia - Sorry about your dog and unexpected expenses. I am dealing with financial mess right now, and perfectly understand what a huge stress extra expenses are.

But no way drinking will help. So, stay strong! Sending you hugs)

Hi everyone
Petals and gladiolus, having booze in the house would be too tempting for me. It only takes that split second decision in a weak moment and it'll be in your hand. Get rid!!
Sorry you're feeling down Kabila, just think of the money you're saving already. Hope your dog is ok x
Mb I'm sorry you're struggling it must be so difficult as we can't completely abstain from food
Hi deanya, sleep will come and it'll be the best sleep imaginable..just wait and see
Struggling a bit today, think I'm going to be on here a lot more than usual!
Stay strong everybody

Good morning from the UK, everyone!

Welcome, Gladiolus, animalnurse9 and Imabuleva. Great to have you on board.

Kahlia, sorry about your dog.

MidnightBlue, sorry to hear you're struggling with your eating. I know you can beat this, though. (hug)

Petals, yay you, that's another day done. Onwards and upwards! Hope your dad is doing OK.

Hello to everyone else! *waves* I love reading about how everyone is doing.

I'm still doing great. I've not been troubled by any cravings, but don't want to get complacent as I'm aware it might happen down the line. I just feel though that I've finally seen alcohol for what it is, a big bad illusion, and I can't unsee that now......I hope that feeling lasts.

Got some paperwork to do this morning so better get off and get started.

Happy sober Thursday, everyone.

Thank you everyone for your beautiful words. I've been doing some research & gonna try natural therapy for buster first as his leg has gotten bad in the cold. He needs socks but he's a magician & can get outta anything. Didn't drink :-) 1st tomorrow my first 3 year relationship. Treating myself to a massage & movie & while bernies away my big boofy boys can have a bath & sleep with mummy lol remind me to vacuum Sunday morning lol. I had a binge food day today aswell but feel fine as we have to forgive ourselves when we stuff up. I didn't stuff up I craved KFC and a dam well got it & it was great :-) learning to reward myself with what I want xxx
