feeling good for the first time in weeks
 
Today is the first day in weeks I didnt find myself with my head in the bowl in the morning. ive been pumping myself with vitamins for days and drinking a lot of v-8.
Yesterday I went to the store and spent every dime I had on fruit and veggies. Left myself with no cash so no $=no booze.
I found this amazing blueberry juice that is loaded with b vitamins so this morning instead of having a frozen daquiri loaded with rum I use the blender and blended the juice with some cut up strawberries and bananas with a small amount of the daquiri mix to sweeten it up a little.

Yesterday between the vitamins and the juice I was bouncing off the walls. I was way higher from that than any crack or coke could get me.
My new found juice i have named woohoo juice.

I actually went out last night for a few hours and met up with some friends at the track. Granted gambling is another slight addiction of mine and probably should be avoide, but atleast it isnt body invasive.

I am slowing down and trying not to worry.

Taking glassprisoners advice and keeping tclean. Hope fully things will start falling into place as I start to feel things will fall into place.

I just want to thank everyone that has been trying to help me SO Much!!!!!!!

Your support and advice has been really key in my not giving up.

I hope everyone is doing OK today.

Love and hugs to you all.

Beth, this is really good to hear. The thing is there are no short-cuts or secret answers. It just takes work and patience. Eating right, exercise, socializing, all those things help in keeping you moving forward.

I am so glad you're having a good day!

Today is the first day in weeks I didnt find myself with my head in the bowl in the morning.
Thanks for reminding me what it was like. Yeah, I'd retch until I got that first drink in me. Usually, the first drink would come back up on me and I'd say to myself "well, got THAT over with.....now I can drink".

Glad your feeling better. You just got a small taste. Wait until you've got some time, it gets really better.

hi Beth.
I'm glade you're feeling better

Woohoo juice or sober slush? I would like to take a vote.

Hey cyber if you dont like blueberries I tied something new today.

V-8 splash Strawberry kiwi flavor, a banana, sliced up strawberries. Throw it all in the blender with some ice and vroom let it spin. Its really good.

Anyone else have any recipes they want to share? I seem to be stuck on bananas and strawberries, but a change would be good.
