I've had enough!

[Popeye]

I've been here at MWO for nearly two years. I had a long period AF last year and slipped back into the bad ways. I got up this morning all fuzzy-headed from last night's wine and spent the morning drifting and floating around, not wanting to move. There is beer in the fridge, but I don't want it.
I have had enough. I'm not getting any younger and I want to start living properly again.
Day 1 AF again. I refuse to give into any cravings I may have. We have a wedding on Saturday, but I won't be drinking at that. I feel angry with myself for being so weak; for taking this so half-heartedly. Not this time. I'm fed up being fed up with myself. It's time I took charge.

So sorry you are struggling. You are not alone. I have also had long stretches AF. It seems to get more and more difficult every time I slip. You are not weak. The Beast is extremely strong, as u know. I am glad that you are here, and I wish you well. Anger, especially at oneself, can be a great motivator.

Pops, I'm with ya man!. I'm day 5 AF again after a major relapse. I wasn't drinking every day but when I did the days after felt like shite. I know I was purely medicating for some of those days too. I think like you I've been at this a long time to know that my actions are only gonna cause me more distress in the long run. I'm feeling really positive today about my life again. I don't know what the future holds but today I'm happy in myself. Be positive my friend. This is only a set-back for you and I'm sure you'll get back on track.

Popeye, no time like the present to start again, right? Sounds like you've got the desire locked in and I wish you the best of luck.

p.s. does that mean you're going to chuck the beer in the fridge?

Thanks folks!
I have the shakes and I'm sweating copiously, but I know I'll be better soon.
AAthlete... the beer's staying in the fridge, but I won't be drinking it. I'm not really bothered with beer.....Not strong enough for my alcoholic taste.
vlad....I like that scary avatar too

Keep trying.....there's no deadline on soberity ! One less day you don't drink, is one less day your taking care of yourself ! Sometime Soberity is like the wind.....It can be very rough and hard, but wait awhile and then it will be light and gentle . Good Luck Popeye !

I went back to alc after over 4 years. It can catch any of us. You sound determined, just keep it up, and when your feeling better and the urges come remember how you feel now. Im on day 16 and feel so positive. Join the army, ive found it such a help to my recovery. I think im the only male on there sometimes, so would be nice to have some male company. Not that im complaining ladies!

Your resolve will carry you to success.

Cmyru I've just signed up mate so you'll have another male there tomorrow! Bleed'n conscripts and all that jazz!!!lol

Pops, I've had the sweats recently myself mate, give it a few days/weeks!. Jeez not sure how long but 5 days and I was still sweating walking today only a few hundred yards. Mind due I did have a big thick 'hoodie' on and the sun was shining. Take care man and I reckon you should chuck dem beers! I know you say, not strong enough or not your drink etc but any kind of alcohol will do if you really wanna drink. It matters not really as long as it's alcohol at the end of the day. Christ I used to drink cooking sherry and 2007 year old bottles of adcovar! Yes the year after!!lol That's when it was invented!
