Hey Stoney . I won't be on as much as Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeej this weekend but I will be thinking about you. Keep doing what you're doing and don't do what you're not ! You'll get over the 2 week hump before you know it.

Thanks Gypsy and B2B

Well day 14 is here ! I had a half decent sleep last night and feel semi-OK.
I have my sponsor taking me to a meeting tonite and I will be OK.
I actually went into an off-licence (booze shop) last night for some lucozade! Then I had to walk back to the meeting carrying a carrier bag with 'booze busters' written on it lol!

Hi again teej---

parentrecovers

do the right thing today, stone. cheering loud and clear for you! k

stone

Thanks k, thinking of you.

Does lucozade have caffiene in it stone? Could be contributing to your insomnia if you've been drinking it regularly.

Just checking in on ya.... I'll probably be doing some of this today : so I won't be near the computer but I'll be thinking of you. Get through this weekend with the meetings and try to keep busy. By the time it's over I believe you'll have a new burst of strength!

stone

Thanks gypsy, no lucozade doesn't have caffeine in it, just glucose fructose syrup.

I will be waiting for that new burst of strength!

This is a great thread. I'm really glad I read though it.

Stone, you're doing an awesome job. Be proud of yourself!!!

And you're not alone... I'm dealing with insomnia, too! I'm so relieved to hear that Glass said it went away after about four months=) Melatonin helps me... it's just like a supplement not a drug. Also setting an alarm in the morning helps me get on schedule (when I actually do it.)

You're doing a great job! Keep it up!

nolongerdrunk

Congrats on 2 weeks! You're rocking it!

gypsytears

Stone racking up the meetings!!! Are you going to one tomorrow?

So today is about over... well done. Nothing left to do but go to bed .

Spoke too soon on the insomnia front, 6am now and no sleep yet. I have been lying there thinking (bad idea usually), I heard some 'shares' at the meeting which hit home.
Not drinking is just the freakin start, I have a lot of work to do in order to learn how to cope without the crutch of drugs or alcohol. Not that I was coping with them but at least I could numb myself and hide away from things. Now I can't even do that, the pain of drinking is worse than the pain of getting sober.
Also, my head was f'd before I started drinking and is still f'd now, I can't stay f'd in the head if I am gonna be happy or find some peace of mind or remain sober.
15th day today, my usual relapse day-that is on my mind too even tho I know I wont drink today.
Feel tired and sad and lonely. I will sleep when I can today and then go to another meeting.
I think I should see a psychiatrist but anyone who sees a psychiatrist needs their head examined.

Hi wolfie, feeling very depressed today, I can see why day 15 caused me problems so many times before-I wont drink today tho, I have a meeting to go to lol! And yes once today is over I can forget all this 15th day relapse ********.
