Binge Drinking

[reddyrnot]

Drinking has cost me so much. A marriage and a child first. I have tried to stop several times. I've ben in 30 day treatment programs 3 times and was committed once. Yet i started drinking again last March. Three weeks ago I chose to drink rather than show up for work. I never called in and haven't worked since. I drank most of the week last week but have been sober since Thursday. I can't pay my bills and am aout to have to move back home with my mom to avoid homelessness. I live in Ohio now and the move is to Mississippi. I feel so guilty. This move is causing me to have to move away from a woman I love.

Hi reddyrnot!

I too drank and didn't go to work and am still not working. Today is the first day I've had a bit of gumption on a Monday! Read some posts, get some inspiration and keep coming back, you'll at least have some people to talk to.

I know the lonely, insecure place you are in, but you came here and you've tried before so you know you need help, you can be helped!

Good Luck!

Dear Reddy: Please come here every day. This has been a godsend to me. I've been sober for 20 full days. It's been at least 15 - 18 years since I've had anything approaching that kind of sobriety. I've had plenty of bottoms (that's a thread unto itself). But wo/any real disaster occurring, I decided I wanted to get sober as of July 10th. I took the "one day at a time" approach (especially in the beginning) & didn't reveal any kind of "count." I was so afraid of jinxing myself. If I can do it, you can do it too. Mary
