Class of November 2016 Support Thread Part 2
The podcast is called "Health Bridge" and the show was from October 27th- the guest's name is Dr. Rajiv Parti and he has a book coming out called "Dying to Wake Up." I haven't taken a look at his website but I'm sure it's a good one. I love this stuff too- really puts life into perspective.

My AV is VERY vocal this evening about wanting 4 cans of lager!
I need to go to the shop for a couple of ingredients to go with my tea but I think I will just have to make do with what I have. I've found it tends to pipe down once I have fed my face!

Just finished reading everyone's posts and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude. I can relate to you all, and there I was thinking that I was the only woman/person who did the things that I have done. Being a woman with a major drinking problem is not a good look, not a good look for anyone really. Something about the "lush", idk.
Will go have brekky and a shower before returning, more able to contribute. I am still depressed so it really is baby steps.
Hey Emzeh, tell your AV to shut its bloody face already those 4 lagers are a complete illusion, designed to bring you down by your own hand. It's the same for me, and I am so sick of self destructing.
Poached eggs and a shower, sound OK?

Thanks Kimmy, I feel I have won the argument in my head this time, and hopefully all future times of course. I have made a post in the main forum to get some tips and tricks on how to battle a particular hurdle for me - it really does help throwing everything out of your mind and into writing
I hope you are doing okay today :-)

Thank God! I woke up sober again this morning. It has been awhile since I have gone this long without a drink! 11 days today :-) My addictive brain is already telling me I could have a drink or two and be fine. It always happens around day 10-2 weeks. But I know that it isn't true this time! I can not have a drink ever again! So now it is trying to figure out my plan for when these thoughts creep in my head.
Congrats on day 8 Illuminate! Congrats on day 9 Micah and ingeborg! And everyone else who made it one more day without a drink!
Vegit, hang in there! Your sobriety is #1 right now!
Good luck on the job hunt Truthbetold and congrats on getting past the 2 week mark, I can't wait to get past 2 weeks.
Kimmy-- Welcome!!! It is seriously one day at a time, one hour at a time, and even one minute at a time. I like to write in my journal, or READ my journal when I get the cravings. For about 2 years now, I have only written in my journal on the day after a major binge, so I can go back and read all the things I'm forgetting when I want to drink. Have you tried an AA meeting? I know the feeling about not sleeping too, I finally got a good night sleep on day 8 and have slept great the past 3 nights. Hang in there and stay close! Post away!!! We will be here.
I am rooting for each and everyone of you (and me) for another 24 hours sober. Have a wonderful day/evening!!

Yes make do. I have had to do that a couple of times as I wasn't totally positive that my need to go to the shop wasn't my AV trying to rope me in.

Mine absolutely was and I know it, a particularly telling factor is that I 'needed' some peppers...and my local shop certainly isn't known for the freshness of its vegetables...!
Thanks Mira.
I WILL try to go for a walk today. So many people recommend it, but for some reason I exclude myself from the good stuff.
I'll pick up the baton and go watch the birdies and hope I see a Kookaburra.
I have the startle response of a gnat at the moment. I will never drink again.

I guess put me in this class. I'm taking another swing at this sober thing. This time I have some medical inspiration. My blood pressure is out of control. I think I need to start treating my body better. Today marks 5 days sober.
