    NEWGUY 3 days in not a drop

    I am proud of you. I am only 12 hours sober...12 more to go to have 1 af day. I just joined today and drink about the same as you. I am very tired of living like this. I hope you feel the support to keep going as it will inspire lots of people. I hate this so much and I wish I could make it just go away. I am weepy and starting to get shaky. You may be having withdrawl too. Stay strong for you & me.:new:

        blueeyedgirl. hi there you should be nearly 1 day af now. congrats.

        im now on my 5th day i think. seems like i dont want to wake up in the morning, just so i dont have to face the day. ive taken the week off work to try and nip this on the butt. everydays a real struggle for me too.
        i spoke to my ex last night and going to have a chat to her today. but i think her mind is made up. im just really sad and depressed still.. even to be friends with her so she can help me through would be good. but im not sure.

        i dont know what to do anymore..

        an alcoholic is someone you don't like, that drinks as much as you do

          Karl,
          I'm so glad to see you are here tonight, reaching out and helping others ....
          What an AMAZING accomplishment to manage 5 days.... kind sir, if I whispered in your ear on Valentine's Day....
          "Karl, in March, you are gonna change your ways and be sober, for at least 5 days in March....
          You will be so happy when April showers bring May flowers!:flower: "
          What would you have thought? :crazymonkey:

          Congrats, Karl. One day at a time.

          Take care of you now, okay? It's not FUN being sad and depressed, but understanding that those emotions exist, and that it's time to work through them, will help you. First things first~ once you've healed yourself, you can work on your relationship with your ex. Sometimes people put barriers up because they don't want to get hurt again....           but time will prove you strong. Time will show her how strong you've become.

          Be well, Karl. :l

            Hi Karl, Dolly and WW are right! Its been a month for me, Im alittle older (33) and drank a 1/2 gallon of Captain Morgan a night since I was 19, wow time goes by like a fart in the wind! 30 days comes quick,
            I still crave it alot and am smoking alot too but I feel like a new person. The trick for me was to go to the gym every night after work and sweat out the badness. Good luck, im sure youll do great
            from Mike

                Yeah Mike - good job!!!

                Karl - I hope to see much more of you (you too Mike). These ups and downs are too hard to handle alone :upset: - and why? when you can hang out with us?
                Besides, there are way too many females on here, according to some I'm sure the dudes would appreciate another compadre.

                Keep us posted. you're doing great. In a few days you won't believe the difference. Just keep going!

                    Karl, Thank you for being sweet and remembering me. I am 22 hours sober. I am not a smoker so I have been eating pistachios and drinking tea and water all day! I am craving the wine BAD but keep taking the L-g stuff.
                    I am so glad you are here. I was worried when you didn't post - co dependant i guess. Keep strong I am trying.

                      well im no my 5th day now. things arnt getting easyier. there getting harder. had a sit down with my girlfriend and she doesnt love me anymore. its so hard to fight both these at the same time.

                      Rebecca good to hear your on day 1. i will be here for you if you need me.. good luck. its hard and im a weak person, but im trying. thats all that counts

                      blueeyedgirl. con grats on being nearly a day sober.. im proud of you. keep it up though its hard. really hard.. the worst thing for me is my order of wine just came in 54 bottles man that was a temtation.

                      what the hell do i do with it all? drinking it sounds great. hehe

                      i hope it gets easier. the problem i have is what do i do if i meet someone new later on and they want to go out clubbing or anything that involves drinking. do i tell them i dont drink or what?

                        Hi Karl and welcome... i can understand your pain of breaking up i also broke up with my partner 7 months ago and am still coming to grips with it. Not drinking will help you come to terms with your real emotions (its amazing what we put up with when we are zonked out on alcohol) and yes you need to do it for yourself first and foremost.
                        Take the supplements they will help with the withdrawals and try and drink loads of water that will also help you system detox quicker. Stay positive and know that detoxing isnt half as painful as all the hangovers we have endured. Feel free to pm anytime if you need more support.
                        Good luck and stay strong.
                        P.S. as far as the parties and clubbing is concerned you need to make your AF your top priority which means avoiding situations that will give you the temptation for the short term. If you read books get something that you really enjoy it helped me.
                        I am the author of my life.

                          well i have made it for 6 days now even went to the pub today and only drank fancy juices.. still taking valium though its helping me through it all.. 1 day at a time.. and

                          my ex called me today as said she would like to be friends so i guess thats a start.. last time i spoke to her she wanted nothing to do with me.. she said for me to think of her as dead.. so im a bit happier now..

                          i must admit i owe it all to you all that have givin me the kind words and the strength to get through this all.. with out u i dont think i would be still here to write this message...

                          one day at a time...
