You know what made me finally take it? Monday morning at 3am (yes, the dreaded hour), I woke up and couldn't remember if Sierra had come home the night before (she had been at a friends house). She was safe and sound in her bed, but what if she hadn't been? Thinking of what COULD happen sends shivers of terror down my spine. THAT'S WHY I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!!!

Thank you all so much for being there for, and not giving up, on me. This downward spiral started when I was so unhappy at my other job, but now I AM happy, and still struggling. That just shows that "we" are not the type of drinkers that can even have a few...it leads us right back to where we swore we'd never go again...QUICK!

Hey all,i'm with you K9,my drinks for the 4 th of July sent me right back to where i was 3 years ago,drinking in the morning,driving,scheming,lying,everything that i've been working so goddamn hard to get out of,oh of course i've had slippages/relapses,but this last one was a fucking doozy,so hard to get back on track,we CANNOT drink! no ifs,ands,or buts about it,anyways it was slow at work,pissed me off,i need mula,i got sooo far behind last month,i'm really trying to tighten the strings this month,it wasn't fair that hubs had to cover the bills last month cuz his wife was drinking her money away,IF she decided to even go to work,bullshit

I'm with you, Pauly. It's best to just remove alcohol from the equation altogether. :h

True that Fen,if it weren't for you telling me "take the bull by the horns"i'd probly still be dicking around,i'm only on day 10 but i tell you,i feel really,really goodK9, i hope i didn't sound harsh to you,mostly talking about myself,i know you don't drink beer for breakfast,lunch and dinner like i was,i just care about us all and i want us to beat this shit for good! we're still pretty young with teens to raise,and the quality of life when sober is so much better sober,jeez,last month my house was a mess,i was feeding my family fast food,rotating gas stations,charging beer and cigs on my credit card that's supposed to be for emergencies,ha!! some emergency! went to the gas station in my jammies,ugh for me it got critical,but these guys stepped up to the plate and helped my ass out,thank GOD for the steppers and the daily abs thread folks,i LOVE you all

Pauly - You weren't harsh! Besides, I may need some tough love right now. I can totally understand and relate to what you just went through. I went to the liquor store the other night in my pajamas (I thought those days were OVER!). I've wasted so much money in the last month, and I am BROKE and way behind on all my credit card bills. They are calling me morning, noon and night!! So what do I do? I go WASTE more money on alcohol!! AND every morning I'd be so disgusted with myself that I'd pour it out, then by evening I'd have to go buy MORE. UGH...alcohol sucks. It's so much easier to not drink!!

I really am proud of all of us that make each and very day without a drink. We all have so much on our plates and we stick together and are kind and accepting of everyone.
This is my special place and it always will be.
