2 days sober YAY!!! but really hungry

[lil.michelle]

HEY EVERYONE!!!

This is my SECOND day sober!!! This is HUGE for me. I'm not even TEMPTED to drink! I've started taking my supplements although i can't drink the all in one drink as it makes me want to throw up. I'm still waiting for my topamax (?)

Something odd is happening tho. I seem to be replacing drink with food...... Is this normal? I'm ALWAYS hungry. Will this go? I'm only small and have never weighed over 9 stone so i'm a bit worried. I've put on a stone over the past few months due to the drink but i'm going to start excercising. I'm going on a run soon tonight which will be good.

I'm really happy and excited but i know the other night with the drink is still fresh in my mind. I hope this lasts. It's so great to be able to feed my baby at night and cuddle her to sleep, cook dinner for my hubby and curl up on the sofa SOBER and watch a movie!! I'm aiming for 7 days AF and after 7 days, i'll aim for the next and so on! I'm a little worried that this exciting happy feeling will go and i'll drink but for now i wanted to share this with you all.

You are all fantastic, amazing and strong people! Thanx for everything. It's mean sooo much to me to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job, LM! I am very proud of you. First we crawl...right? You can do it. Your resolve sounds amazing.

Me too, me too! This is great, and it's the weekend. I am so pleased you have gone 2 days AF. I hope it is this much fun and just as easy for the rest of the month.
Good on you. We watched movies last night as well. But they were both dumb!
Hope yours were better.
Keep in touch. Now that we share an AF birthday.
Hugs

That's great, well done! I ate like a horse for a while but didn't actually put any extra weight on because I'd cut out all the booze calories. And I looked at it as being better to be eating too much for a while than to be drinking.
Keep going!

Hi Lil,
Have you tried putting the AllOne in something yummie like a small smoothie or milkshake? That's how I get mine down. Congratulations on 2 days!!!!!!!

AWESOME JOB!

Great job!

Yup, getting hungry is normal. You aren't taking in all those cals through booze, and your blood sugar is fluctuating since it's not being "regulated" (in a bad sense) by booze. Getting nutrients from food helps with cravings and withdrawal.

Hi Michelle,

A hearty congratulations on your two days. How wonderful for you!!!!!!!!!

As for eating like a horse, cat, monkey....EAT girl, you probably need the nutrition.
Just try to make some of it nutrient dense. Lots of fluid as well.

See if you can keep on keeping on. I'm sure proud of you!
