4AF, please HS.

Relatively easy tonight as I'm still feeling yuk with the cold I caught on here!! Hope I'm feeling better tomorrow as I'm going out to dinner and at the moment can't taste a thing.

I'm off to join fluffy for the weekend. Good to see new posters, please join in and set a target. You'll enjoy the feel good factor when you achieve AF days. People on here are really great!!:A

I'm not doing well. am on 4th (and last) can of the night. sorry. i'm finding it really hard going, esp with giving up caffiene aswell. the worst is between 1pm & 2.30pm, thats when i'd be cracking open the diet coke (and by god is that stuff addictive...aspartemine!). instead i have this awful lull. and no caffiene buzz. i didnt buy any drink tonight, but when my OH came home i sent him out for a 4 pack of carlsberg. not good. I bought caffiene free green tea and lemon for tonight..had one cup and....its not the same. i know i have to do this and get my life back in control, for my ticker to be healthy. it's been lovely this week....no hangovers, even after 4 beers (i must be used to it).

i've booked next friday off work. i've not had my hair cut since Jan and i need to start feeling and looking good. i'm 25...and women who i work with are older and trendier than me!! time for a change!!!

sorry to waffle.

Hi JWBF It is called Kudzu and is available either online or from Holland and Barratt You can Google it and read more about it and its trials etc but basicaly it is a plant derivative with no known side efects that has been used by the Chinese for 1000s of years to control alcohol addiction. I found it online when I was Googling for ideas to help control the cravings every evening and I think a few of us here are now taking it. It definitely 100% works for me as last year I was climbing the walls when I had an AFD and last month I had more AFD's than the whole of last year without the terrible cravings attached. I don't care whether it is psychological or physiological, all I know is, it works for me and is making my AFD's really tolerable and painless :j:D It also helps me drink less on the nights I do drink

Lillibet - well done, keep those drums rolling now you have managed your first night. It is such a huge achievement and I hope you are feeling really pleased with yourself. Very well done :T

Maman, plenty of room on the naughty bench for both of us and any other cutter downers too

Dotty, don't despair. Baby steps - you will get there in the end, you are half way there by being on this thread xx

Morning All

I am afraid I have not been good this week . I drank wine on Wed & thursday this week . So no more points so far.

I am not going to be to harsh on myself as I am very stressed at work at the moment, I will get back on track.

Love to you all

Do you take it daily or just when the cravings are likely to attack?

If daily, how many and when?

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt I was out somewhere and got !!!!ed. When I opened my eyes I expected to be dieing with a hangover. What a relief it was when I woke up and felt great
