Smile WOW THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT

Hi everyone thank you sooooooooooo much for the support. It is going to make it so much better knowing that you are all behind me and that we are all supporting each other

Been away this weekend that is why I've not got back to you sooner. Been very, very bad . How does a bottle of wine turn into 2 or 3 when you are in company!! Goes to prove that a stint of AF is really, really necessary

Goin to try and be good this week and wind down but I have got another weekend away that is why I've said November 5th - Help - Trouble is no time is a good time but at least I know that I will have a couple of weeks to get into the groove before I am in company again - As you so rightly say Cowgal ( One day at a time)

Hi slightylysuze yea I have got the suplements and have started on them. I have yet to receive the TOPA but at least I know my body is tolerating all the vits, l-glut and milk thistle without any problems. They are helping to keep me focused when I am on my own. It's in company when I come unstuck - Old habits can be hard to kick!!

Gabby1go - How are you doing? This guilt thing is such a heavy burden but you know that just knowing that the rest of us feel the same must help make it easier to bear. I know that I don't feel sooooo alone in this world now

Blondie don't hesitate because no one will judge you because we are all in the same upward struggle

Rusto61 and Finski - We will be there for you on the !st let us know how you are getting on

For the rest of us Nov 4/5 looks like the start point - Onwards and upwards - No guilt, no shame just support for one another - WE can do it - WE CAN do it - WE CAN DO IT

Sweetpea xxxxxxxxxx

Sweetpea and all,

I am really excited about this. I have circled the 5th in red on my calendar and am ready to REALLY commit to a 30 day stint - no matter what. I think that having others on the exact same day as me will help. Also it gives me this week to organize my supplements - I have been sporadic with them and I am planning to tell my husband that I am going to do it. I mentioned it to my daughter the other day because we are planning a workout schedule. I told her that I was going to work on my diet and stop drinking and she said that that is a good way to lose weight. Again, I am not sure that my family realizes that I struggle so much but if they know that I have planned to stop for a while, I will need to be more accountable.
In other words a very long winded . . . . . COUNT ME IN!!!!

Evergreen

Count me in.. I am planning a Nov. 1 start date. My first try was Oct. 1 - had 11 days AF from Oct 1- Oct 28 ( and today is not over yet) and that is a record for me. I have not had that many AF days since I was pregnant (and my youngest is 19!). Looking forward to joining everyone in November. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.. and every day AF is one day more than we had before!!

Leebo well done on your 11 AF in October - Hope we will all be as successful

I sooooooooo love having you folks on board so I really, really want to ask a question because I think I may just be going a little CRAZZZZZZZZZZY and don't know why!!!!!!!

I SO WANT TO DO THIS BUT

Ever since I decided to do a 30 day AF stint I seem to want to drink even more than I usually do!!!!!! HOW STUPID IS THAT!!!!! I feel such an idiot, weak willed, ashamed - in fact every bad thing I can think about myself I am doing so. HELP!!!

In fact I seriously think my brain has gone AWOL and will never return!!!!!

But with your help

I WILL DO IT - I WILL DO IT IN NOVEMBER


to you all for your support

SweetPea,

The reason you want to drink more is the beast working on you.

Just like thinking you are going on a diet and stuffing your face in anticipation.

Beat the beast back and we can do this!! We can do this

Hell NO. We are going to be af the month of November!!!!

Love,
Cindi
