Wow..I made it through day one, thanks to you guys
Good morning guys (well it's morning here 8.15am)
I want to say thankyou for all of the support yeasterday while I was on day one, I don't know how to put into words how gratefull I am.
I have never been able to do a detox at home, I couldn't even manage a few hours, I was hopelessly weak, but this forum has become my sanctuary, and I was on all day yesterday, reading and gaining inspiration.
Now it's day two, so I will just do what I did yeasterday again, and take every moment as it comes, but now I have some ammo I've never had doing this without a detox center, I can say... "I did it yeaterdy, so I can do it today too"
Please excuse my spelling & typos etc today, I am a bit bleary eyed, sleep wasn't very co operative last night, so it may be a day of brain fog, but I'm trying not to think about the effects of detox, as long as I try my best to ignore them, the better they seem to be, which proves to me (in my case) that some of it is phsycological... I get more anxious, therefore the symptoms manifest themselves even more, so ignore them I will.
I hope everyone else is having/had a great day, and you are all at peace with your jouney

awwwwww *cries*
you guys are awesome, thankyou so much.
I couldn't have even started without you guys
I'm laughing at the brain fog, what a loop, I can't even think straight, I just worked out the time clock to see what time the meeting that is on at 9pm eastern time would be here, what a mission.
My family are so pleased for me, they have been a huge part of my alcoholism, they are great, and as long as I don't drink, they will never drink either, they are so supportive, and I feel very blessed to have them.
I just keep possitive thoughts in my head this time, the last time I did detox & a little rehab, I was pretty negative, this time I am thinking things like...
I can do this.
I will die if I don't do this and I don't want to die, I have a great life & a great family.
I don't ever want to do day one ever again... not ever ever again.
Every day I don't drink, I am one day closer to finding kermit, and I like her.
I am one step closer to going back to doing all the things I love and enjoy that alcohol has stolen from me.
I don't need alcohol, I need life.
My body is healthier today yayyyyy.
And the list goes on, I make all of these thoughts go around and around in my head, and leave no room for any negative ones

Yes That is what I got too, 3pm but then I have to add another hour for daylight savings as the time calculator doesn't take that into account, so hopefull I've gotten it right lol, but I will look at 3pm just in case
I hope you are feeling better soon

Wow, you are good being up that early and having breakfast helps the blearyness though!!!
I have only been up since 8.30 am and it's now 9.30 am, still to have breakfast, but I only feel like eggs on toast so Miss 19 is shooting down to where she works to grab me a big tray of free range eggs from the bosses hens, they are huge, and a lot of double yolkers.
Mmmmmm fresh free range eggs.

Thankyou for your support and your kind words *blushes* lol, I hope you have an awesome day
Thankyou jakey, I am making the most of feeling strong, I feel like cr*p on the outside, but my mind is strong at the moment, so I will use the opportunity to build myself up as much as possible

You can do it!!! Way to go. It's 4:15 PM here in Eastern US and I'm working through Day 4! It's this time of night (homework, cooking, etc) that is the hardest for me. Just made some coffee...brought the Christmas tree in to decorate tonight and will cherish my kids (in between the nagging)! Hang in there Kermit...a half a world away...

Keep it up, Kermit! You will be so much happier for it, I promise. Happiness will feel uncomfortable at first, but it WILL rock when it hits you full-force! Hang in there, and keep sharing your experience with us!
