Yesterday was tough..but Mr. Duggy came home yesterday and we went shopping and had a lovely dinner out. By the time evening comes I have zero desire to drink..damn the daytime! lol
Slept like a rock, got up, cleaned, did laundry and now i'm doing some work..coffee is brewed and fresh bagels are ready to be toasted..
Anyone wanna come for breakfast?! lol
I'm not looking forward to ohh..about 10:30-11..thats when it hits..so i'll be here..amped up on too much caffeiene and I bought some Godiva last night...so that will help too
lol
Again, thanks to all of you..you keep me sane, make me laugh and make me feel accepted...I guess i've not felt like that in a long time..and I kinda like it

Like you have heard a thousand times, it does get easier. I remember my first 10 or so days. Moved so very slowly. After that time seemed to return to normal speed. Remember, just dont drink today. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

Keep it up Duggy Remember one day at time. Good call on the Godiva. I used to eat a lot of candy when I first quit drinking. Alcohol converts to sugar in the body and when we quite drinking our bodies can crave the sugar that it is no longer getting from the alcohol.
A quote from the Big Book on page 133.
"One of the many doctors who had the opportunity of reading this book in manuscript form told us that the use of sweets was often helpful, of course depending upon a doctor's advice. He thought all alcoholics should constantly have chocolate available for quick energy at times of fatigue. he added that occasionally in the night a vague craving arose which would be satisfied by candy. Many of us have noticed a tendency to eat sweets and have found this practice beneficial."
Best wishes

Once I got the booze out of my system and the physical urges subsided I used to think to myself when I was watching tv or on the computer, all the things I did drunk while alone, what was the point? When you are sober and really think about it why do you need to be high to watch Grey's Anatomy alone. Now I am grateful that I don't have to drink all the time to avoid withdrawals.

Hi Duggy,
Day 9, that is awesome!!!
Like you, I was also an alone drinker, at least most of the time. (Its hard to find a friend who wants to get drunk on a nightly basis!)
I've found that my energy level has increased now that I'm not drinking the night away by myself. Its easier to forget about drinking if I keep myself busy.
Keep it up... you've almost hit double digits!!

thank you my dear friends!!!
it's 11:53 and i'm starting to get really anxious...I went outside for a bit..did some things..came on and put supper in the crock pot and had coffee but I cant shake this anxious feeling...heart racing..racing thoughts and just wanting a glass of wine..I hate it..hate hate hate it.
i might just take a nap..I took some Valerian..that usually helps to soothe my nerves just a bit..
