Day 2 - here we go :)
 
Ok so it's Monday morning - my hangover has all but gone (although I can still taste JD and coke if I really think about it - yak!) and I am probably the most serious I have ever been about doing this. Had seen a few people mention AVRT on here so googled it and am reading about that - have also dusted off my Alan Carr book which I have never finished and I swear today is the start if something new for me. I hate how I've been for the last 2 months (and for years before being pregnant) and hate how it effects every relationship I have here - so here I go.... It's scarey but I'm glad I found this site to help me - there us so much inspiration on here :)

Good luck to all :)

Hi Sarah and welcome. Congrats on day 2!

There is a lot of support here.

Thanks Guys - I guess you have to start somewhere right :). My mother in law is coming to stay with us for a few days on Wednesday and we always get stuck into the wine - that's going to be my first hurdle I think...right now I am keeping a low profile as I know my husband is still pissed at me for Saturday night.

It's all just so challenging isn't it!! :o/

It is a challenge at a new way of life but for me it is a much better life.

Having a drinking buddy coming over will be a test for sure. Come here as often as you can for support.

You are on your way! Just think, you never have to go back to hangovers and that soul weary feeling.

Onwards and upwards!!

JustSarah,

Can totally relate to you! I am a stay at home mom to 4 young kids. I also drink just to pass out and would have MAJOR altercations with my husband before passing out, of course, then when I woke up I wouldn't remember a thing! I have no idea how I got this way either, didn't drink when pregnant but after my youngest was born started with a vengeance. I am currently on Day 16 after many repeated attempts. We can do this! Feel free to PM me if you want. I have dealt with the whole husband being ticked at me too. Hang in there and congrats on Day 2! Hugs, PG
