    2 weeks AF.

    One thing I am reminded of ~ how much happier I feel, when I don't drink alcohol. Alcohol definitely gives you a good rush and I can't deny that.....I guess its what makes it so tempting. But when I do drink, I ALWAYS feel flat and miserable afterwards. Nothing beats feeling good and happy, naturally.

    You're right- alcohol is a depressant. The day after can be quite brutal - i feel jittery and nervous. It's so not worth it. Congrats on 2 weeks! :)

    My 2 - 3 day hangovers are a big part of my reason for wanting to stop altogether.

    Hell on earth some of those hangovers. I don't miss that...yucky. 🤢

    I sure don't miss those hangovers. What an absolute waste of days. I remember two years ago, I would be lying in my bed in my apartment. And I'd envy everywhere else walking by on a beautiful sunny day. And I was too sick to get up. totally yucky! :/

    I am concerned about our friend Foo Foo. Has anyone heard from her? Did I miss something?

    I'm doing well. I am occasionally drinking but not crazy. I take one Naltrexone before I know I'm going out and amazingly, I stop after two.
    Wow- like a normal drinker.

    p.s. Disclaimer_ I am no fool. I do know that while right now, it's all working for me, I better be careful!!!

    @BeIn2day We have a lot in common. Our bodies just cant handle much alcohol before a wicked reaction (hangover). My friends can't understand that- we can drink the same amount, but at the end of an evening I am the one with my head in the toilet.

    My ex's new girlfriend can apparently hold her liquor. My ex told me how he and the girlfriend once drank a whole bottle of vodka in an evening. I wanted to say "Bravo, yahoo. good for you."
    I wish i could drink that much without pain, but it's not for me.

    Good Morn <3 This is off topic and I do not want to create a heated debate due to the emotional component of the subject. This is just a fact-finding mission on my part. I'm wondering what the Covid climate is in varying parts of the world. I know what mainstream media says, but am skeptical about how accurate their reports are. I'm wondering what your personal experiences have been through this....I know this is a fearful time due to the uncertainty & conflicting information and I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

    Hope everyone is well B)

    Phew ! 😥

    That was close 😳

    Had thoughts of a bottle of wine AND cigarettes for tonight. (Tough day at work).

    Oh my. The thought of it felt good. FOR A FEW MINUTES.

    And THANK GOODNESS I remembered why I decided to stop drinking / smoking. I decided I'm not flinging it all away, cos of one stinking day at work. I'm not letting it beat me !! I went to the gym after work instead and ran it off. Feel a lot better now.

    Thanks for all the support on here 🙏 🙌 ❤

    Bravo! You beat the craving!

    @BeIn2day I agree about not wanting to spend the morning anxiety ridden and nauseous. Yuck. I'm going to a birthday brunch today....6 of us in the family have September birthdays. I'm sure to eat too many delightful things but will not indulge in the mimosas and wine.
