First Day
Today is my first day that I pledge to give up the wine bottle, and tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I'm fighting with myself hourly not to give in and go buy a bottle. I came to this is a very painful way - my family no longer wants to spend the holidays with me or my husband - he drinks too. I'm a mess, having meltdowns and sobbing. Just took a very, very low dose of valium (2 mgs.) to help fight this craving. We're having turkey day alone and I'm told the children have other plans for Christmas too. OUCH! Please tell me this gets easier!!Tags: None

First Day
Hi Montana, things will become easier once you've made that decision to change. I find it really helps to log on to MYO at least once a day for support,and changing your routine so you are busy at the time you crave alcohol the most (I took my kids to the cinema lat night at 5.30pm, my usual 'open the bottle of wine ' time....) All the best X
