Day one starts over every other day for me. I can not drink one day only if I drank the day before. I feel. And once I go a 24 hour period without I feel really good! I go to work excited about not drinking the next night but by the time I get off of work I crave it and end up giving in with a bottle of wine or whatever!

Petrea36 ---- that's how a lot of us were for ages. For that next day you really need to find something to substitute the wine or whatever. I've been sucessful with cranberry juice & soda in my wineglass, or diet tonic and lots of lime and ice. At the beginning, I could do that and get part way through the night and then caved in, but after a few false starts I started to get past that too ... try and do something different in the evening from your regular routine ..... go for a walk, go to bed early and read, chat on this site, etc. After a few good tries at it, it becomes easier bit by bit ... baby steps as they say. I'm only on day 4 (again), but a couple of months ago I could never have gotten this far.

41 hours.
That's how long I lasted. :( I had one glass.. no more. Dont even feel like another glass at all. Didnt even enjoy the one that I had. Here's the story behind it: - Kept myself busy with housework all morning, then took my son to the cinema. Popped to the loo and realised I had taken his ticket by mistake... they wouldnt let me back in. I panicked... texted his mobile, and realised that he didnt have it with him. I checked the time and realised there was 25 minutes to go so decided to stay in the foyer of the cinema waiting for him to come out at the end. Cue big advert for wine being served...at the bar.... now... After many "gnashings of teeth" and twiddling thumbs and pacing up and down... yup, I caved. ONE glass. God, how pathetic. Sorry guys.. you all were so full of support for me too. Let myself down, my son, and now I have the job of letting my fiance know too. :( I suppose the only plus side to this is that I actually lasted 41 hours.... SO CLOSE to two days... mayeb next time? here's hoping. C
