Day 20 for me and I'm glad I didn't listen to all the sweet nothings my AV was whispering in my ear....it has quieted a lot as of recent.

Hi Guys!
Still hanging in there, not sure what day I'm on. I've decided I'm not going to obsessive with the number of days. I had my last drink May 6th, 2016. I'm doing well, been working out each day. Trying to get past the initial fog but I know it will pass. Just having a cup of tea, biding my time until bedtime. I've been sleeping like a rock! Last night it was over 9 hours of sleep. I'll take it!

Hi all, I haven't been checking in here much, I'm on day 14 and doing okay.
WTBAF, I've tried the 'I'll just drink on the weekends' thing. Also, I'll only drink beer, I'll only have two, always stop by 10, only on special occasions, never at home, and on and on. Turns out, I can drink til I'm sick repeatedly, have killer cravings when I try to stop, and want to die, or I can not drink at all. Took me a lot of years to figure that out. I hope it's deep in my heart and head now!

Hi all.
Quick check in here while waiting for a take away curry to be delivered. I've had a busy day at work (and a trying one). One of the children I worked with today randomly asked me if my parents were dead?! My mum is - it was 8 years in March. It would have been her birthday on the 16th of this month. Not great timing, kiddo! It's made me just feel sad all day. Stupid Brian has siezed the opportunity to start whispering sweet nothings about wine. I'm letting my cortex win this arguement, though, and not giving in to that part of my brain. Early night with a Terry Pratchett book awaits instead. Urgh. Life sucks.
And on that cheery note, I hope everyone else is having a better day!

Day 2 did not sleep a wink last night, twisting and turning angry and upset how I let this bloody disease destroy my life. loosing my family and husband, he waited two years for me to get well and finally decided he had enough. His words you LOVE alcohol more than you love us. Heading to Boston to my brother for a few weeks next Wednesday to help me with my recovery. He and his partner don't drink so there will be no alcohol around. I pray that I can do this because the way I feel right now is ugly.
