Unhappy doesn't even come close.... Post 7

So I have now begun to tell people why I no longer drink- because I'm an alcoholic. I have felt No embarresment whatsoever in admitting this to friends,family & even people I met at a party last week end who asked why I was drinking diet coke & coffee! I've had nothing but positive & encouraging responses to my admission that I'm an alcoholic until now....

I was holding off on telling my Grandad as I knew he may not be so positive to my telling him that I have a chronic drink proble… Continue

8 weeks tomorrow! Post 6

Just a quick post as I haven't been able to come on here very often recently. My little one is off school & I have been out everyday with her doing lovely mummy & daughter stuff :o)

I am still sober & am loving life so much it's ridiculous. I have more energy than I've had in a long time & my daughter is loving the activities we're doing together now as we're out every single day for hour's upon end.

It's not been easy staying sober & I have nearly cracked a few times these… Continue

I Want A Drink Post 5

It's 9.25 on Saturday night & I want to go out to the pub. I do not want to go out & meet friends & have a fun sociable evening out, although that's the lie I'll peddle to my husband, friends & family. I want to go out & get totally & utterly smashed out of my head.

I know the act of leaving my house & going down the pub will be harmful to both myself & my family but none the less the urge to just throw on a jacket & walk out my front door is totally consumin… Continue

Craving.... Post 4

So I'll have been sober 3 wks tomorrow. That feels great & I'm glad & thankful that I've made it this far, but...I had my first real craving for a drink last night.
I haven't had a real, big, overwhealming urge to drink for 3 weeks but I'm putting that down to the fact that I was so battered & bruised & in physical pain from that binge that it'd frightened me so so much that getting drunk was the last thing I wanted to do.

Now I'm all healed physically, although I will bear the… Continue

Living Between the Fives...... Post 3

Thanks to Bart & Melly for your posts, both are keeping me on the straight & narrow & helping me stay sober. Bart, the Living Between the Fives resonates with me & it sums me up totally.

I've know for a long time that I'm an 'All or Nothing' type of person. I'm either so happy I could burst or so sad I wanna die, there's no happy medium & I'm finding that very hard to deal with. I no longer have the option of getting drunk & being on a booze high so at the moment I feel… Continue

Hey Hayley,

That's amazing about the 150 days. Congratulations! So glad things are going so well for you.

Things with me are ok thanks hon. Was struggling a lot and had a major relapse a few weeks back, but drinkwise been ok since then. My personal life is a bit all over the shop. Divorce finally happening, new relationship broke up finally and work pretty stressful, having really bad moodswings and major highs and lows, but all of which I can cope with though if I'm not drinking. That was so clear a few weeks ago after I'd been attempting to deal with things yet again in a messy drinking fog.

That's fab about your weightloss. I've been comfort eating A LOT lately, thinking "as long as I'm not drinking", but want to start eating healthily again and exercising more as I know it helps with my sleeping, my moods and pretty much everything else.

Right, am eating my tea as I'm trying to type and making a right mess, so I'll get back to it. :)

Hope you're having a good week so far.

Fran xx

Hey Chicky,sorry if i worried you,i didn't drink but got so so low i was blooming tempted but decided to go to the doctor in stead and ask for help with my low moods so he put me on prozac,started on 40 mg a day but tat will go up next time i see him thought i was cracking up to be honest my head was like a bloody roller coaster and i could not get off,thats the worst i've ever felt,i'am usually fairly jolly but began to cry most of the time,never want to feel like that again,best of it was never even knew it was comming no doubt it was working on me for a while.Chat soon Dana.xxx
