I'm feeling ok about the week, as I know there will be no opportunities for me to drink, but I worry about the weekends. Already that voice was saying to me this morning that maybe I over reacted and that Its not that bad.. I can handle a few drinks if I go out.. I know it's a lie, but it's still there all the same

Stick with it Rabbitgirl are you going meetings ?

Thanks for the post and kind words, Rabbitgirl. Yes, I count the hours because every hour I feel alittle better. Going on 32 hours and I am eating a sweet potatoe for the nutrients. Still slightly anxious because I am loopy and really can't recall what I did last week or if I pissed anyone off. When I drink I get obnoxious and my mouth runs off. I am paranoid that my boyfriend might have known I was drinking and is waiting for me to feel better to tell me he can't tolerate me and my drinking. Is paranoia a symptom of detoxing?

Yay I'm so pleased you're still going, good for you �� What a good idea the sweet potato is, I also find that milk thistle and vitamin b seem to help me when I'm feeling like that. I have no idea if it's a symptom, but I also experience paranoia when detoxing for the next few days. Stay strong (hugs)

Welcome to SR! The link about plans is a great one. You should also join the December class and 24 hour thread, both are great supports.

I listened to that rationalising voice a lot rabbitgirl - having my posts (and other peoples posts) to read helped me see I wasn't ovverreacting at all. I had a real problem.

Have you thought about making a recovery plan?
There are some really good ideas here:
