I’m so proud of you for facing your first trigger!! And am relieved that you are not doing this cold turkey, counsellors told me that it’s replacing the addiction when I first went to withdraw but I do not think it is true. And I know this of many peoples experience staying sober. There are things that you can have control over to get you through the worst of it physically that you won’t crave once that is over. Alcohol (and g but I don’t have access) has always been that one thing with me, I can do anything else in moderation. Cold turkey makes it much easier to faulter for a lot of people.

You’re a strong and smart woman mariposa, just know that you’re completely not alone through this <3

You’ll be an inspiration for ocSober :)
 
^ Yeh, I'll be needing some inspiration. Going completely without for a month is a scary prospect when you've been drinking daily for as long as I have.... I'm considering it but don't have high hopes for myself...
 
Redleader is right. Cold turkey off alcohol can be fatal. When I was in treatment, I saw people shaking so hard they couldn't hold a coffee cup. However, I started in Detox, but after one night, they moved me to treatment because my vital signs were good and wasn't going through withdrawal (I don't know why...I guess everyone is different). Also, my liver tests were totally normal when I have a history of them being off. The only way to explain that is either an act of G-d or the times when I did stop (the longest was for 6 months) my liver healed.
 
No not really. Training stuff, nobody really. Next EllisMania Im going to try to get in on, but that 6 months or so after this october. So I got some time.
 
Good get to it fighting can be good as I recall - if you win easily it's good anyway :D

I'm a proper good boy with drink these days, I probably only rarely exceed the governmental guidelines for weekly alcohol consumption :)
 
Dunno about the lovely bright & shiny EU ,just grubby old Britain, and they reckon about pfft ten(ish) pints a week - you could maybe google it if you were really keen to know exactly but basically it's roughly what I said.
 
That's a good idea - you could start promoting matches on the basis of pure guesswork about the fighting abilities of willing paticipants & then run a book on it.

Perhaps to generate a little interest a "champion" from say PD ( I'd suggest Xorkoth as he'd be a big name box office draw well known in these environs) to fight maybe Ocean or a tag team of Panic & Ocean
 
Pharcyde, you know better than that in here ;) No fighting, no throwing sand, no weapons... ;)

I'm at ~40 hours. I did not have a problem sticking to the 3 beers last night and went to sleep early. I may revise my taper to be a little longer; I think I wanted near-instant gratification. I'll be ready for OcSober as it's my first day of school. :)

How is everyone doing today?
 
Heres something for you Jamshyd... Researches who study happiness, the causes and factors rate Iceland as either the happiest country or within the top 5 happiest countries...
