Might be alchohol free today.
I've been drinking. In the mornings now. I even went to Wal-mart for the $1.97 bottle of wine after dropping my kid off for his first day of school. I don't have any alcohol here today (since I finished off the last of the crusty bottle of vermouth yesterday - mixed it with oj and it was pretty blecky) and I don't plan on leaving the house. I think I'll do my hair and put on makeup. Just so I don't look so much like the piece of crap I've become. And after that I'll wait. Eventually it will be time for bed and I will have made it through one day without alcohol.

Noma'am...
It's so hard when you first start. I used to drink in the mornings as well. I felt I needed it to jump start my day, and I truly believed it. Have you had anything to eat yet today?

I once was a morning drinker as well. I, as Gia, thought I needed it to jump start my day.
I am glad those days are long gone. Now if only I can abstain from drinking all together, forever. Don't be so hard on yourself Noma'am. You will probably feel like crap for a few days, but it will get better. I am so thankful our Walmarts don't sell $2 wine. If wine were that cheap here, I probably would of been doomed. Drinking here is an expensive burden. Hang in there and be strong.

Noma'am,
Go do your hair and put on your face; it will make a world of difference. The other good thing is that you have no AL in the house. If you find the time, go into chat with O2M- you may find yourself smiling and having a good time. There are some real jokesters here and it would do your heart good to have some laughs. I always find some comedy sitcoms to put on TV to get me going. I know you can make it through this day AF. kriger

I always feel better with my face on too. I try and stay busy - clean out the closet or drawers. Anything to make my day go buy. If I feel like crap I go outside and read a book. The fresh air and sunshine will do you a world of good. First day AF - could be the start of a whole new chapter in your life. The possibilities are endless. Good luck.

I glad to see you are posting again. You can do it. It is one day. You have done it before.
You are not a piece of crap. You are a woman and mother who drinks too much. You are brilliant for reaching out for help. You are beautiful for trying to make your life better for you and your children. You can do it!

Noma'am, I was a morning drinker too. That doesn't make us pieces of crap. It means we have a problem and we need to stop the madness. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!! I hope you DID put on your face and hair and stuff. Part of the old morning drinker me was a slob in that regard, but part of the new me is about feeling as good as possible about myself. Of course our "insides" are key to that, BUT.....until we sort out what's on the inside, nothing wrong with tiffin' up the outside a little, eh??
I'm rooting for you noma'am. I remember your early posts and you are so witty and funny! I want to see the REAL noma'am again! WE CAN DO THIS!! You deserve a sober and wonderful life!! (as all of us do!) DG Day 84 AFHF - if I can, so can you!!
