Sober 8/3/2021 who's with me?

[mumjustmum]

Tomorrow, I'm going sober. Nothing. Not one. No NA drinks either. Just need to change this horrific habit and addiction I've allowed myself into. Today I will drink 4 bottles of wine. I look and feel
Terrible.
Anyone with me?

I am in
I drink way too much atthe weekends and end up feeling rubbish. This is my day one

Welcome! As in, you're on your day one now? Or tomorrow? Either way, well done: we need to fix this

My day 1 today. I have given my partner all my bank cards and credit cards so i cannot buy any.

@Sharpasknives sounds like you will be well on the road to recovery then! Is your partner supportive? Is he around for the next few
Days? Deleted your phone Apple Pay?

Apple pay deleted and i tunes password changed by him at my request so i cant download it again. He’s supportive as he cant cope with daytime drinking 2 bottles of wine and raging at him as soon as he walks in

It was nice today as I couldn’t do the weekly shop as i had no means to pay. Ive filled my car up so really i shouldnt need money this week . I just hate the person it makes me. I can’t remember what i say and im sick of hiding empty bottles

Today I will drink 4 bottles of wine.

Do you drink that much every day?
Are you stopping with medical supervision?

@Sharpasknives that's great news, you are so positive! Well done you. Any plans for tomorrow?

@nimbuscloud no, ive done if before and I'll do to again.

Well done on deciding to stop, but if you are drinking four bottles of wine a day it will be really dangerous for you to stop cold turkey. Can you get to the GP and get some help to stop safely?

It was the only way. Im wfh tomorrow . We can do this

Honestly @Champagneandmonstermunch I totally understand what you're saying, but I don't get the shakes too badly, and can easily restrain before midday. I'll be okay thank you otherwise I'd have asked for family help

Mumjustmum ive only had the shakes after a very heavy session and little sleep

I'm going to bed drunk obviously. In the morning I'll wake up all groggy etc, but I won't drink tomorrow. I won't

Good luck everyone. We can do this

I will be ok till Friday. I never drink Sunday till Thursday and then I knock it back at weekends. I hate myself for it and am so ashamed. I have no alcohol in the house so my plan is to stay well clear of any shops

Hi @mumjustmum - very best of luck to you. I've been in AA for many years but I remember getting through four bottles of wine a day and it was hell. I did have hallucinations and seizures when I stopped too suddenly, but I appreciate that you say that you've been at this level before and have been ok with cutting down. I would just say to take it very easy tomorrow and let people you trust know what you're doing; ideally don't be alone for the next three days, and drink a LOT of water, and get some sweets in to replenish the sugar that you won't be having.

One day at a time

Good luck everyone

Can I join please...

Had my last drink on Thursday, hungover Friday got a call from GP with blood results from the day before, serious liver concerns.

I'm 40 years old

Thanks @Lobsterquadrille2 I will definitely drink lots of water and pick up some sweets after the nursery run.

@patrickbatemansbusinesscard welcome aboard! Has your GP given you anything to help?

Day 0 today, and I'm feeling so positive. I've got a headache and I'm shattered, but so desperate to be free of this horrid addiction

I was going to wish you good luck but you don’t need luck, you need to work very hard.

But you will succeed, one day at a time.

You, your kids and family life will be so much happier. Take care of yourself.

Thank you @Luffsmypup

Start of day 2. I have a banging earache but did sleep ok. Hope everyone gets off to a good start this morning

Woke up hangover free after a good sleep only waking once. No cash no cards no alcohol in the house. Today is day 2 but i will be alone . I can do this
