I have been sober for 8 days and am starting to think the same as you.
maybe I am tricking myself into believing that I am not a drunk.
I feel really great today. I think being sober is one way to sort it out.
much love and strength.

Katie, the admission can sometimes be the hardest part......

To me, I will always be an alcoholic, but I am a recovered alcoholic. No bones about ever being able to drink again - I just can't do it and I know where it would lead me back to.

I've realized in my journey to sobriety that alcohol wasn't my problem. My alcoholism was only a symptom, something that I was using to deal with all the other problems in my life. It wasn't a matter of stopping drinking and everything else will be okay, but rather fixing the things that were wrong with me so that I didn't feel like I needed to drink.

As Satori said, stick with it and it will eventually come to you.

Hi Katie

I second what all the others have said. Stick with it and it will eventually come to you. Baby steps or ODAT, one day at a time as we say over in newbies. Good luck.

Remember, this is a process. Each person has their own individual way (if you are not of AA mentality, that is) of going through the process. It takes longer for some than others (sigh)-- the only thing that is definitely the same is that we all have to go through our own process. And we here on MWO are here to support each other along the way, pulling, pushing, venting, ranting, consoling...

Katie, you`re no different from the rest of us, only the drunk in some of us is dormant for now. You`ll get there.......just by keeping trying.

Much love,

Katie,

Dust yourself off and keep moving forward. The guilt is the worst part and keeps us stuck. Move forward. One foot in front of the other. You will be healthier.

You are not alone. You know that, Miss KatieSmiles.

We are here for you.

Katiesmiles,

Realisation is no bad thing. It will allow you to audit your life: see where you are, where you want to go and work out how you are going to get there. Set yourself goals and targets, work out what's best for you and keep coming here to MWO.

Thoughts and wishes,

Raoul

Every night starting around 5:30p.m., I'm a drunk too. And I'm really sick of it. You're not alone!

I've been to Bali long ago. But I have nothing against another trip-- this time without the backpack, I hope.

Dear Katesm,
I am going to enshrine your post. You may be the wisest person I know, other than my daughter, who can only follow in your footsteps due to her age.
I wish you would teach or wrte. You need to tell the world what you know.
