bpddreamer Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I CANNOT believe I have been sober for 7 days! It's a whole week! Mind you, I have been drinking for 12 years, almost every day! Choice of alcohol? Chardonnay. Some told me that the first 3 days are the toughest, which they were. They also told me that I should take one day at a time, which I have been doing. I now officially do NOT have a craving for alcohol anymore. Woo hoo~~~~! Only thing I am concerned about is outing with people who drink. Not sure how I would beat the temptation... but hey, one day at a time and today, I 7 days sober and that's all I'm going to think about.

just.me Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oh that is fantastic, well done you. The childrens father collapsed when he stopped drinking and had to be taken to hospital, he had hallucinations, sweats went crazy. He drank lager though, and far more than I ever knew. He would wake with the shakes until he had had a drink. His hands were like crazy! He just stopped cold. Not good. He has not had a drink since October.

emmie18 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi, Just read this post and your strength to finally give up the alcohol, shines through. Well done both of you. If things get difficult, try and focus on the points why you wanted to give up drink in the first place and list all the things that are now better because you do not reach for the drink. Really hope you both stay off it Well done Emmie xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
