I'M VERY PROUD I'VE MADE IT THIS FAR

i was drinking 3 to 6 longnecks (750 ml) beer EVERYDAY for a lot years

i'm using campral and valpam.....don't know how much the campral helps...but the valpam really seems settle me (take 2 a day when i'd normally be starting drink)

i'm also dosing up big on vitamin b

Great news that you have managed to add up some days!
What I am hearing is that you have managed with the help of medication, to put the bottle down.
As you know, addiction is never about what it is we are addicted to....it is all about our thinking.
The stories we play in our head that move us to the drug of choice.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
the cravings...that is different for every one.
What are you doing or planing on doing to support a change in your thinking to insure your continued sobriety?
Much love and light,

i congraulate myself ( a 1000 times a day:o ) that i've made it this far

i need try and take my mind off from thinking about drinking....i spend a lot time thinking about drinking:o

i've set a goal not too drink till i get hoildays in january......i can than choose too have a beer ....or maybe not than......i think it's unrealistic too say this stage i'll never drink again.....but a few months breaks got be a start:D

today i don't have as much headache or nasurea.....i tell myself how good it's gonna feel wake up feeling 100% and not hungover or going thu withdrawels

i don't know....it's a decision....i actually went and pulled up in front bottle shop yesterday....was going to go in....than said ...NO IT'S NOT PART MY LIFE ANYMORE

it's a day to day thing....my challange is get too day 6....the more i can string together....the easier it will be.....till hopefully this disease is just something i once suffered from
