Anything you feel proud about is earned ....

What you do to make yourself feel bad, is easy.. but regrettable ..

I "Feel good a lot of the time"

But then get smashed and become (Not me)

I truly hate idiot me, That is why I endeavor to not drink...

This is Day 8. Again. I did 80 and thought I could mod. No, I couldn't.

4 Days is a big achievement. You don't want to go back to Day 1 again do you?

You will at least remember what you are enjoying without drink.

Me, I was a 2 litre a wine a day girl for many, many years. Too many to count. Maybe 15 or 20?

That's way too many years Amber. And I realise now that most of it was in a blur. It also caused me a lot of grief, shame and regret. It took too many years to get my act together. Too many forgotten moments as well - good and bad.

Thats very true.. I feel the same! Whats ur name pan??
I used to drink a bottle of vodka mixed with orange juice.. I used to be blind thinking that mixing it mattered.. saying that i would know if i had a problem if i was drinking it straight.. If that makes any sence lol...Or would say because i was pacing myself and wasnt getting drunk meant that i didnt have a problem.. Its funny.. as im writing this now, its kinda feeling good to get it out!! lol

None of us want to recognise we have a problem. The good thing is when we do. So congratulations on that. It does make a difference posting your thoughts and feelings on this board. You will find we all relate exactly to what you are saying. Keep posting your progress and stay with the thread. It's good to have you aboard.
