[mollyonthemove]

The new thread for the alcohol free and the wanna be free . come and join us

Can I add myself!

I need a couple of weeks because of holidays but I'd like to stop for a year as of 4th August.

Hi everyone! Sorry, dropped off the thread. Welcome Pour. :)

Saw these in the pharmacy yesterday

www.vitabiotics.com/liverel/original/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Liverel%20Brand&utm_term=liverel%20tablet

I checked with the pharmacist and it is okay for those on oral contraceptives. (That was the only thing I asked about). It has grapefruit extract in it which apparently can interfere with other medications, but I thought it might be of use to people.

I am all triggery right now, and still get my triggers at about 4 pm. If anyone is happy to share, I'd love some reminders of what people do to get through and past the triggers...... I need to have a tune-up.

Self-care..... today I pledge to drink only water. I have been overdoing the fizzy soft drinks and sugary cordials lately. :)

Have a GREAT weekend all!

Morning all . Just got back from a nice early morning cycle (boy have I become unfit, but it's a start!). I haven't actually had any triggers/wavering at all, so perhaps it's something that just became a habit rather than an addiction (like my overeating!) I just have to think back to how I felt last Monday morning though if I feel myself wavering

Oh and welcome to Pour

Day 7 for me
Feeling great and God have I slept this week.
12 hours plus easily.I must have been so sleep deprived.

I'm not getting triggers either which is a new thing but I think it's because I'm not wrestling with my decision every day like before.
I'm getting so much more done every day and am ashamed to work out how my more money DH and I will have
He has a few beers in and I have no issue with him having those a t all.
Corn4pm -tired,hungry maybe???

Yeah the money thing is eye opening if nothing else for that it's worth it!

I was gobsmacked to put it lightly ,that we are going to be £50 a week better off!
I actually think it is more if you count the nibbles, crisps and emergency "I feel like shit" food purchased the next day.

The biggest thing for me is that I feel like Ive got my life back.
The old me, no anxiety, no cloud hanging over my head, no guilt and self hatred,no waking up wishing I hadn't.
to that !

Oh yes, the "I feel like shit" food . Here's to no more of that.

The one thing that's weird is that this time last week I felt utterly overwhelmed by everything, work, the house, DC, everything really.
I felt I was on the verge of having a breakdown.
I couldnt cope with anything, it felt massive ,no way out.
utterly ,utterly insurmountable
It felt like I was drowning .
I couldn't comprehend how I would cope without wine but the reality is,it was the alcohol making me feel like this.

Sorry to go on

Oh no, I know exactly what you mean! I am so that I let myself get like that. But onwards and upwards and for us all

might still be on obnoxious exercise high

Corn 15 minute rule and change up your routine yes? Plus as Pink said HALT BS (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, Bored, Stressed) Eat something, drink something AF, talk to someone and urge surf - it'll pass in 10 -15 minutes :)
Congrats to Degust and Pink and welcome Pour :)

Thank you for the welcome.

Yep change of routine is our friend :)

No exercise this morning but a lovely long sleep and lie in instead.

Hi every. CornChips here with a nc. :)

Sleeping is so good without alcohol in your system you are right Degust!

Morning all. I've just been for a swim. This is shocking behaviour for me... was in the pool at 8.30 on a Sunday morning - whatever next? I'm a week into a 3 month fitness overhaul with the Body Coach, have to do 4-5 HIIT sessions each week and I've hit my target - it feels good!

Welcome to Pour. You're in the right place :)

Happy Sunday all.

Morning!
In bed with coffee
Slept 10 hours last night again!Bliss
Have a good Sunday everyone.
Cooking a roast and watching Tennis.
If it doesn't rain I might go out for a runplod later
Day 8 for me

I've been eying up two weekend morning exercise classes, there's Pilates and kettle bells to choose from

Can I join please. I am sick of feeling like this. Hungover and in charge of grand children (sorry don't know abbreviations yet). Have read thread from start to finish and know I need some support. Never posted before. Quite a techno phobe.

Welcome disgusted

Well done for taking the first step!
Do you want to tell us more ?

Degust
Go for it !
Im going to start running again and I might look at some classes to strengthen my wobbly muscles.
In just a week the weight is coming off - DH was very admiring of my bum this morning

Welcome withme :) We're a supportive bunch here and I'm sure others will be along later. Also been for a run already this morning. Shall we all polish our TSP halos?

I'm a lurker (4 years sober) but didn't want the post to go unanswered. You will find absolute support on this thread. However I highly recommend aa for support and friendship. There are many women your age who have been in your shoes and who will help. I was ready to die. I had lost everything. And now I am happier than I have ever been. If you phone the helpline someone will meet you and take you to your first meeting. The support is incredible. You are not alone xxx hope this helps

Welcome disgusted!

Pinkpop, I'll get back into running when I've got some weight off, I'm a bit wary of injuring my hip again No great rush, I'm trying to be much kinder to myself . Still amazed at how much energy and how much more 'present' I am.
