Class of November Support Thread 2017 Pt 1
Hi Andy. You can do it. You should feel better with the physical symptoms within a day or so in my experience. Stay hydrated, drink coconut water to replace electrolytes, rest.
Hi Loui. Same advice as about. It should pass soon. I started feeling less dizzy and shakey around day 3. For me it was worst in the morning until I had a big glass of water, some tea and something lighting my stomach.
Filling your freezer with chickens, ducks and rabbits??? <swoon> Tell me more!
I'm on the East coast, USA.
Good morning from Kefalonia! Where is everyone else from? And big time differences! Let's see how day 3 of dizziness holds out..., get the kids to school now then a busy morning filling my freezer with chickens ducks and rabbit! Not the best thing to do feeling dizzy! But hope it will take my mind of things! Have a good day everyone!!!

Good morning on Day 5 (my danger day) will be staying close to you all. I must say I have had cravings but not that many and when I did they haven't lasted.
Been keeping myself busy with work. I have also just applied to sit promotion exams in work in March - what am I letting myself in for. I suppose its something to focus on. Hope 4 months is enough. Whatever happens it'll be a refresher for me so nothing to lose.
Will catch up later X

Insomnia. Zero sleep .
Beginners Yoga from YouTube. I split the link so as not to break any forum rules. At least I think I circumvented? I’m sure Dee will let me know lol.

I watched some of it, she explains the poses and alignment nicely although the doesn’t give many modifications. For example, early on she’s doing a lunge with the arms up (high crescent lunge).... I would have a gentle class bring the back knee down to a low crescent lunge. Those of you that asked for a beginner class this is a good start. Just remember you can bend your knees, or bring it down in certain poses if you need to,

Morning all. Waking up to day 10 here. Some major fatigue has hit me, but in reading threads, this can be normal in early recovery. Exercise has been a huge boost, as well as morning meditation. Seeing my Dr tomorrow , as well to see if anything else going on I should be aware of due to my drinking history.
Welcome everyone new. This has not been rainbows and unicorns by any means, but I do feel like I am on a new path. Best - BC.

Hi all! Just checking in on Day 9, evening. I went by a liquor aisle and the wine aisle today. I pictured myself gagging at the taste. Didn't really work as far as not wanting a drink but hey it was worth a shot haha.
My house continues to be clean, my bills are slowly getting back on schedule, I'm continuing to eat healthier. I'm beyond bored in the evenings but no motivation to craft, cook... whatever. I'm a tad irritable from constantly being asked what I'm doing. I'm sleeping well but still fatigued throughout the day.
- glad and thankful for the support!

Getting ready to head to an AA meeting. It's one of the formats I like... reading from the book Living Sober and then discussing the reading. It's a small meeting but I could walk there if I wanted as it's less than half a mile. A pretty quick walk but...it's cold and dark out so I'm driving lol. I hope they have some good snacks. Another way I choose my meetings .
Where is everyone today? I hope the class is busy with life stuff but a check in would be nice :group hug:.

Hi everyone,
I had a little time to catch up with some posts...I am always terrible with recalling everyone here and who said what, but I will try.
Finishing up day 2. It was rough this afternoon driving home from work and not stopping for my bottle of wine...but I came straight home.
Now I have to concentrate on getting rid of the empties hidden all over my house. Thanks is a sick cycle!!!
I'm happy to be sober today . I'll watch some tv and get to bed early. I have off tomorrow and lots to catch up on.
Welcome lava....
Have a good night all xo

Hi everyone, just checking in. I'm feeling kind of beat after a not so great sleep last night and a busy work day. Briefly contemplated buying alcohol on the way home and kept driving. Now home and although I'm tired, I feel kind of wired at the same time. Maybe that extra cup of coffee today...
Does anyone have book recommendations? My favorite genre is memoirs, and the more effed up the person's life, the better (horrible, I know) but enjoy anything pretty much except science fiction. I thought I saw a book thread in the forums earlier, I'll have to check that out.
I plan on catching up more with you guys tomorrow. Just stopping in to say hi and things are going ok here!

Good morning all !!!
I got past my danger day 5 - Yay !!! I'm now on Day 6.
Plan is coffee in bed, kit up and go for a run, shower, breakfast, watch an episode of Strike back and then 1-2 hours of revision for promotion exam. Will plan the rest of the day as I go along.
