HI Karla,

Good for you!~

Ah yes, I remember trying to kill the hangover. The vicious cycle of it all! Eventually, you do have to sober up and it is a misery.

You can do this! Keep posting!!

Hi Karla

I am 24 hours out from 3 day binge. My hands shake so that I could barely sign a check. But its one day under my belt and my appetite is already returning. I know what you mean about being scattered-I wandered all over the housedoing a little here and alittle there. But at least some laundry got done. I wish you good luck from Florida...Melissa

You know ausie, I did the same thing after 33 days of sobriety.

Not after a hang over.. That is funny, glad to see you're using that sense of humor....

One time at work, I was walking a round the class room looking for my glases and the teacher I work with says, what are you looking for. So I look at her and say, my glasses. She starts laughing her arst off so bad she can't talk. Finaly she looks at me and says, they are on your head.

Later((((((((hope3))))))))

When I got to the shops I pulled my sunnies up on top of my head only to find that the other pair was already there! Id walked all the way down to the shop with one pair on my face and on pair on my head...doofuss!

Oooh..oooh! Seven hours!

that made me laugh so much! Dont you love it when you blame everyone else and high horse in manner of self important monarch only to discover that it was your fault in the first place?..then you have to go into damage control like "well, every other time you were to blame so I just guessed that this was the same thing"...looking like a total numnuts ...watching your pride ooze out of you like the melting witch from Wizard of Oz...."what a world...what a world"

Oh Karla, I can tell you're going to be a joy to have on here! I'm glad to see the sense of humor. It helps when we can laugh at ourselves. Better to laugh than cry I believe.

I can relate to where you're at. Shaky, unfocused, blurry head and vision, can't seem to get it together. Trust that it's completely normal and the longer you go without the liquor it will get better. There is a saying in AA "this too shall pass" and it will. In the meantime, if you like chocolate ice cream try eating some of that. I've heard that it is good for cravings and the shakes. A piece of chocolate or a tablespoon of natural honey are good too.

Big hugs to you and all the newbies we have.
Kellye

One pair of sunglasses on your face and one on your head! That's priceless Karla!

Did you make it to hour 8?

Please keep posting. This is the first time I laughed today!

My house is a tip but I don't care. I am sober. I am a useless waste of oxygen with the attention span of a gnat but so what?

After 4 days of detox my hair looks like I put my finger in a light socket.

I am starting a strike on house work, all that want to join,

put down your brooms, your mops and vacuum cleaners,

and

Pick up funny joke.

alot of fun....hugs, (((((((((hope3)))))))

Karla yesterday I was so proud of myself I remembered where I had put something about a month before, then I spent 20 minutes looking for something I had just set down 20 minutes before! I am over 5 months and I am still improving.

I can see you now with 2 pairs of glasses on at the same time.

Keep strong (((Karla))), I am thinking of you.
