Day two here. I slept for 12 hours and had the usual drunk dreams. I feel good this morning and pleased to be here and reading what everyone has been up to.
Today I will mostly be drinking coffee, watching films and spending time with my fiancé. I love sundays.
I hope you all have a lovely day.

Hi all day 7 now, AV has quieted down this morning so it's great to get a bit of a rest from it harping on. I'm going to really work on filling my time up, I've got too much of it on my hands these days after being very busy for years and I don't do well with it, boredom is lethal to me and my AV just loves it. I'm not working outside the home just now and my child has flown the nest so not a lot to keep me occupied and that has to change. I'm a big exerciser but that just flies out the window when there is drink or hangover going on which then leads to eating too much, feeling lousy and bored therefore a viscous circle. I'm going to try to schedule out things to do including housework errands etc for this week and then try to fill in the extra time with other things. Idle hands and all that = bad news!
The class seems to have gone a wee bit quieter but hopefully they will be more people posting soon.
If you've had a drink , over the weekend and feel bad, don't! Just come right back here and start again. Well that's what I (keep on) doing, one day it will work!
Peace X

Hey PeaceHappyness
Hope you are well. Glad your AV has quietened down, it can be a b*tch can't it?
I used to think that I drank through boredom, but it was just the crack that the AV needed to get alcohol back in to my life. I am back to filling my days up with stuff to do, sometimes it is just simply taking my time over things, I used to whizz around the supermarket like a woman possessed! I guess that was just getting everything I needed so that I could get back home and drink. I used to get frustrated at the people who dawdled round the shop, now I am taking my time and even spending time looking at things I have no intention of buying - just to eek out another 10 minutes of time.
I have found exercising is a great way of taking up some time. I have an exercise bike in my place, so regardless of the time of day, I can jump on and spend as little or as long as I have just cycling away whilst I watch the telly or listen to music.
The other thing I am doing is downloading books on to my kindle. I've always been a big reader, but in recent years have been reading for work rather than pleasure, I have gone back to fiction books this week and really enjoying getting in to some great stories.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday PeaceHappyness! Well done on day 7!

Day seven. What an insane day. Its 9pm and I just woke up. The night before I barely slept because my stomach was in intense pain and nauseau due too, i have no idea? I couldnt sleep, couldnt move much, it was ridiculous. I havent had a stomach attack that bad in god knows how long.
I guess I can be greatful I had no booze on top of it? I think i dont get those attacks when drinking because it masks the symptoms of my (I have a stomach and a prostate problem) body.
I feel crazily disoriented and I have no idea how im going to work tomorrow. At least its not a hangover and I can go in honestly and explain that I am sick. Yeesh.

Hey all! I'm going to join this class. I'm on day 2 after going back to drinking last month. I've been drinking 3-4 times a week usually anywhere between 5-12 tall boys per session. I don't know why I started back up except that I'm addicted and can't/won't stay stopped. All I can do it keep trying though. I had made a Big Plan to never drink again and never change my mind but I think it's too overwhelming for me (or some would argue my addicted boozed up part of my brain) so for now I'm just going to take it one day one moment at a time. I never drink now rather than I never drink forever.
Best of luck to us all! Hope everyone has a lovely sober day

Day 7 here. I'm definitely happy I have made it this far but I know not to let my guard down after relapsing after only 20 days last month. I'm working on doing anything I can to stay strong and not let my AV get the best of me. Just wanted to check in and let yall know I'm still fighting.

I'm sorry to hear you are unwell but alcohol would have made it so much worse. Stay strong and you will get through this
