Default Making a Change

Hi all. I've been reading these forums for several weeks and finally signed up today. I've had an alcohol problem for all of my adult life and I've had enough. This entire summer has been a pretty serious bender.

I started the supps including kudzu and l-glutamine on Monday. The book should be delivered this week. Today is day 2 AF for me. I'm taking this one day at a time. I really don't have a framework for life without alcohol and that scares the crap out of me.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome Surcee. I'm glad you found this site. Most of us have a hard time imagining the rest of our lives without alcohol.
Great job on your 2 days!

Welcome Surcee!

Don't get scared, make Plans! There's a whole world out there beyond the haze, books to read (and write) and people to meet. All the stuff that got put aside for 'you know what'.

For me, the biggest changes are coming as I get back a normal sleeping pattern. I remember way in the past when I could get up in the morning, and actually DO something, read the paper and then get some private activity done even before I started work. Then I got in a habit where I always slept with alcohol, which I now realize wasn't sleeping at all. It was all I could do to dragging my body into work in the morning. Heck with that! These wonderful summer mornings keep me inspired to get up and get moving. And that inspires me to "stay good" in the evenings which is my toughest time.

Hello, Your title says it all "making a change" As boss.man said great time to make plans for that change.. Good that you are getting the book and have the supps.. you might want to consider the cds they are a great tool for making a change.. also dont forget to fortify yourself with some lemon water and flush those toxins away.. good on being AF 2 days! reading the threads is a great tool as well

Lots of great people here! This site will help you immensely if you stick with it. I always have a problem with that, but can honestly say I find so much compassion and support here even when I have blown it.

Best wishes to you! You can do it! One day at a time my friend. That really is all we have.

Huggles,
