crying inside

Helllo everyone

well sadly i am back to day two, but at least i am trying again!

I made it to day 13, and then things went wrong - before i knew it, its been two weeks - i would have been on one month tomorrow, so i am absolutley kicking myself!!

But at least i am back on my forums, both this one and my uk one talking and telling people of my journey! i thought half way through my journey i could cope with it, before long i realised i could-not... but this time i can do it :)

How is everyone else doing??

Keep up the good work Kitten. You are right in approaching this on a day by day basis and focusing on why not to drink first hting in the morning. Keep on listening to "this" voice its on the right track.

Kitten,

It sounds like you have really got a grasp on what makes you happy and what works for you. What a great idea to keep a sort of journal with those specific questions and filling it in the morning and again at the end of the day!

Members, how does writing journals and goals down help you?

I am doing great, i feel more happy than i have in a very long time, i bounce out of bed!

i dont even want to drink anymore.

Every day i write down

I dont want to drink today because....

and at the end of the day i write

I didnt drink today and i feel....

This keeps me on track, reminds me of my progress and every day there is a different reason. i also when i think of a benefit to my not drinking write that down, and now i will start printing these out i think it was rick that suggested that.

oh whilst i am here..

I have had trouble sleeping, but last night i slept all the way through - i only woke up at 7am because a ratehr cute but hungry and playful cat decided that i really had, had enough sleep and that i should get my lazy butt out of bed - normally in a hangover state i would have got up, but felt horrible - this morning i just giggled at his cheek and once up, i didnt want to go back to bed, i did some housework straight away, hoped in the shower, done some internet surfing - before i would have just crawled back into bed!

for the past week i have also had the most wonderful time with my partner, as i have been off work before starting a new job on monday (he is self employed so took some time off to spend with me) there has been no shouting, and when he has "upset" me ive been able to calmly explain why i feel hurt - i am so in control of myself!

I hope that you are doing well, i saw on a thread that you are still drinking, thats so great if you control it - i cant risk trying myself, it just wouldnt work for me, but i hope your journey is going in the direction you wish it to take and i wish you much luck x

This post put a smile on my face and I am sure it will for others too. Keep adding to this list and what rick suggested is a great idea!

Post often. We want daily updates

First off Kitten, Congrats on 7 days that's a great accomplishment! I am very happy for you!

I'd like to suggest that you print out your last post there and keep that in your wallet. That way if you do have a weak moment you might see it and read it and change your mind before taking a drink. That type of technique is used by many of my friends. Life still happens whether we are sober or not, it things like this that we can use when life isn't so good to help us through.

Keep up the good work,

Rick

Hello everyone,

thank you for the people who posted to me directly, i had a few days where i couldnt log onto this site for some reason! I have to say i spent so long reading different posts and sometimes i thought "did i write that" it helps me to know that i am not alone in this journey!

I am glad to say that there is hope, i have tried so many times and this time i succeeded! I am proud to say that today is my seventh day without alcohol in my life, and whilst at times it has been tricky i feel like a totally new person, i am starting to like myself and in time i am sure this will turn to love.

My relationship with my partner has already improved, i have the pleasure of enjoying my time with him and not with him being cross at me because of my drinking - he enjoys talking to the calm and sober me. I like it too.

There have been so many things i have noticed in my last week, and i wanted to share these with you - if you read my original posts you will see i was in a bad bad place, now i am filled with hope!

1 - i no longer wake up in a state of shock or horror of what i might have said or done the night before

2 - not being a morning person i dont "leap" out of bed singing songs from the sound of music, but i do groan, hit snooze and get up a few moments later - once i get up i feel fine, i have a routine and i get on with things

3 - cleaning out my cats litter box is such an easier task whilst not having a hangover :)

4 - My eyes have started to sparkle again

5 - my skin already looks a nicer pink colour

6 - i sleep properly (well almost, i woke up once last night)

7 - i dont have night sweats, shakes, shivers or have panic attacks ( i have been taking kalms to keep me calm which is a combination of valerine root and a few other herbs, all natural and seems to help keep me calm)

8 - I have more money

9 - I am actually enjoying my life

10 - i know watch tV programmes in the evening and remember what happened.

These are just a few benefits i have noticed - and i hope everyone else soon finds there lives change as much as mine has - i'm not saying there havent been times where i have been tempted, but these are fleeting thoughts and i say NO NO NO in my head, and take a deap breath and make myself a nice cup of tea or juice.

baba,

Your goal is also quite clear. Use the program and the support group to take one step at a time towards achieving this goal. You can also break your main goal down into smaller ones. Breaking it down will help because you will get a sense of accomplishment. Each day you can make it your goal to go through the day without drinking, at the end of the day you can reward yourself. Rambling does not exist on this site, so do keep posting what you are experiencing.

What does it feel like to have decided to quit drinking completely and take control of your life?
