Hello & Welcome AngelHalo!

Glad you found us & hope you settle in the Newbies Nest thread for a while for some extra support. Checking in frequently & making a good plan for myself did wonders. We have a Tool Box thread filled with great ideas for your plan. Congrats on your 2 AF days, keep going

Wishing you the best!

Hi Angelhalo - I've been trying for years too. And COVID made me get back into it full force too. The last drink I had was the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. I think about it daily though. It's been rough. I'm hoping it will stick for me this time.

Welcome and if you stick around here you'll learn from people who have learned the hard way. One day at a time and always remember that nothing is better with a drink. Why that can't sink in for me, I just cannot figure out.

Thanks for you kind message of support Frances.

It is Day 6 for me today and so far so good. I had a wobble yesterday, but got through it.

I cherish every day and today was the first without even thinking about drink. The only time it crossed my mind is when i went into the store room to put something away and there was two bottles of wine in there. I never thought for one moment about drinking them.

I have lots to do at the moment and that is helping get me through the early days.

Keep it up, AngelHalo!

Well aren't you just wonderful @AngelHalo. Straight in there - no nonsense
My suggestion is the same as @JackieClaire : don't allow yourself to get thirsty or hungry - both triggers in my opinion.
Also post here every day - it really will make you accountable but also so proud as you clock up the days.

Keep going !
