    Back on the wagon...

    Hi everyone,

    It looks like some members have changed: old ones have dropped off, welcome new ones!

    The last time i visited here would have been mid-late 2007. Things have been okay, stopped my binge drinking which is good. But, am back on the long-term, constant 'one glass after another' drinking.

    News: got caught drink-driving, lost my licence for 6 months. You would have thought that would stop me from drinking, but no... i am on my bike, riding around to the bottle shop, getting wine.

    Oh anyway, the reason i am drinking is i am bored. I can pretty much fill in the days, it's the evenings that are the worst. Don't get me wrong, my life is not bad by any means, i just find myself sitting around with about 4 hours or so to kill and that's when the cork is popped.

    Last night i set out to "only have a glass or two" (you know how the story goes). Well, once the bottle was opened, i couldn't help finishing the rest.

    So, anyway, here i am today, feeling slightly seedy and realising i need at least 1 alcohol-free day to clear my head. Life is okay, but i am semi-unemployed, so i really feel like it is time to find a job.

    I am going for a walk tonight, wish me luck on my AF adventure

    Btw, what happened to the newbies in need thread? I guess the same few people got sick of starting it? Maybe if i'm here more often, i will jump in and get it started for a while.

    :goodjob: to everyone and we'll see how we go. (I've already got a headache, lol).

          Change,

          :welcome: Back!!

          Newbies in Need has become the ODAT (One Day At a Time) thread.

          Name change, same thread.

          Mostly because it wasn't really just for newbies, lots of long termers hung around that thread, too.

          Hope you find a job, perhaps you can find something that breaks your day up into periods where you usually drink?? Maybe that would keep you busy.

          Anyway, best of luck and ODAT is a good place to start with one day AF!!

          Love,
          Cindi

            Hi change........great to have you back with us.

            Seems like that`s the reality for so many, eh?..........thinking you have a grip of your drinking.........letting your guard down.........and you`re back drinking almost, if not as bad as before.

            The important thing is that you`ve recognized this before it`s too late. Sorry about the DUI, but you`ll just have to do your best to come out the other side of that one as best you can. Things are already looking up for you........you`re back at MWO, so with our help and your own determination, it`s time to slay that beast, eh ?

            Wishing you love and renewed strength.

                Kirova,

                Really good. I highly recommend exercise.

                  I can't say "welcome back" because I was not here when you were before. But I'm here now, so :welcome: from another newcomer. Hope to get to know more about you as time goes on!

                    I can definetely relate to being bored. The hubby travels and the kids are doing there own thing. But life get even more boring always having a hangover everyday. Its not fun to always be so tired to do much more than the basics. Not to mention feel guilty everyday. I also had a dui, nothing stops you from going to the store for more wine. Hang in. I am on day three. Good luck!
