Why do you think it didn't work the other day FF? D |

Polaroid—hope you were able to go get some support instead of the vodka. FF, hope the 30 day plan works out. I had more to say but just had a big fight with my husband. I’m trying to stick up for myself and let myself feel anger instead of trying to keep his feelings calm. But it’s very unsteadying. On the plus side it actually makes me glad I’m sober. At least I have the peace of mind that it’s not alcohol fueling my emotions. Ugh. Just feel sad. |

morning x sry to hear about ur fight numblady x u should be proud that u didnt drink xx hugs to u hun xx I thought last night that i will actually give another 24hrs for alcohol to be out of my system and make sure its 3 days before i take the tablet, so i will take the tablet tomo morning instead. so day 3 for me. This is usually my bad day, but looks like i could be bz due to husband has something wrong with his foot and its been like this for a week, it gets swollen and he is in agony with it, so im hoping after a week he will seek some help and that prob mean a trip to hospital. so that could be my plan today lol. FF can i ask u when did u take ur antiabuse and did u feel sleepy with it? good to see so many posts this morning, great job to everyone time of sobriety xxx |
I had no side effects from Antabuse other than psychosis, but I'm on other meds that cause drowsiness so I wouldn't have noticed really if the Antabuse added to it. I took it in the morning first thing. |
Thanks FF x will go ahead with morning and see how things go x i am also on other meds but they dont really make me sleepy. so fingers crossed no side efffects. |
Today is supposed to be day 1 of my 30 Day Fix My Life Before College challenge but I'm just not feeling it. I'm going to set myself some small goals for today, nothing too ambitious.

I guess because there was no ambivalence. I just wanted to drink. I was 100% firm in my decision. But I don't want to drink moving forward. If you're not using a book,maybe asking for guidance in our Permanent Abstinence Based Recovery forum is a good idea. https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...ased-recovery/ D |
I have the Rational Recovery book. Having some AV now, and thinking of borrowing money for "cigarettes" to buy vodka. This is supposed to be day 1 of my new life, it's very disappointing to have these thoughts. Just trying to dismiss this as AV and ignore it. It probably doesn't help that yesterday's drinking went so well. I drank the naggin (200ml) on the way home and nobody smelled the alcohol on me. |
You keep saying it went well - surely you can identify that as classic AV, FF? it sounds like you’re suffering under the delusion you can at least sometimes control the outcome when you drink….that delusion sits there waiting to be used as rationalisation the next time you have the desire or opportunity to drink. That can’t fit in with your stated aim of never drinking again. Drinking alcohol, any amount, for an alcoholic is disastrous. D |
Hi all, I am up to day 26 now. Feeling good. Attending AA and working the steps with a sponsor has helped more than I can say but it takes up a lot of time of which I dont have much to spare hence not posting here for a while. I will try to post more often as I need to make sure I use all the tools I have to push forward in recovery. Have a great 24! |
Congrats on day 26 Phil. D |
congrats phil on 26!!! |

Why not have a honest talk with your parents and listen to what they have to say? They know after all that you have a problem and are trying to sober up. I can see that you are an intelligent, polite and good natured person. Don‘t let that go to waste by just giving up now. I‘m normally not one for tough love at all, but I say this to you because I‘ve been following your threads and wish for you to succeed. |
Drank hard yesterday. Passed out and woke up in the middle of the night. Didn't sleep a wink after that. Feel like death today. Have family coming over later to celebrate my upcoming birthday. I can only make it a couple of days without a drink and then I cave. Will it ever end.. |
Hi AC what kinds of things have you been doing to help you not to drink? D |
Hi all. I keep bobbing in and out of here depending on what’s going on. Nice to see you all! I’m 125 days sober today. Still feel tired all the time so I’m getting blood tests and am trying to overhaul my diet. I will get there but what I do know is that I love this sober life and don’t want to return to my alcoholic life ever!! I have a broken tooth ugh so waiting on dentist on Monday so I’m just resting and watching black books with my lad. Always makes me laugh even tho it’s about an alcoholic Irish man who runs a book shop badly! My youngest starts senior school in two weeks so I’m feeling rather nervous about that. I know she will be fine it’s just me thinking argh my baby is growing up haha!! Hope you all have an awesome day xx |
Hiiiiiii Still sober, just spent some time in the hospital with a rehab team to get off Klonopin. So now I'm free of alcohol and benzos and Celexa. Feels fantastic! I've missed this place :) |
Glad things are looking up Kittencat :) D |
