Hi All,
I am new here and just wanted to say HI!
I AM SO SICK OF DRINKING and yet I cant seem to stop...doesnt make alot of sense does it? So today is day one of AF, and that is what I am going to choose for the rest of my life, fingers crossed. I tired the moderation but it isnt for me.
My brother is going on 4 years in August and I am so amazed at the place he is. I want to be there too! Hey, it was fun while the party lasted but the party has to end at some point and NOW is the time. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, I just cant do it anymore so here I am for support and help and friends and promise to give back to all you here.
So its a new day and I am going to keep my Sunny side up (hence the name).
I am sure I will be running of at the mouth for the first few weeks or months and appreciate you all listening.

SO THANKS!

Welcome!

Hi Sunnysideup,
:welcome:
I am sick of drinking too. I have been drinking too much now for about 20 years (I'm almost 38)and decided last March to try and cut back. Some weeks I have done ok and others not, even managed two AF weeks in a row recently. Now, I mainly drink at weekends but as usual too much. I guess I really need just not to drink. Can't believe it's taken me nearly 20 years to figure that out!. I am making another go at 30 days AF in a row before I make a choice - AF total or try to moderate again. I think I know deep down the answer to that one already. I am on day 2 again today.
Keep reading the posts here, especially at times when you would normally be drinking, it really does help.
Good luck.
Bandit

Hi Sunny

Oh wow, all of us here took much to long to admit we are boozers. As for me, I can never take 1, 2 or 3 drinks. I just go on to get plastered. But I guess we each have to find out for ourselves whether or not we can mod. I know I can't.

This site has been great and I am on 12 days AF (with lots of slips along the road). Something of a record for me and that is after at least 10 years of AA, shrinks, prayer, etc. But this time did wake up and say a prayer -- please, please, something has to change or I am headed for the grave. That very same day I found MWO. :welcome:

Hi Sunnyside, Hi all,
Keep on truckin - that is my new motto - cause it really feels like that!
I am truckin off to bed now (it's about 11.30pm here). I am feeling proud of myself this evening, really felt like going to the shops and buying a bottle of wine but didn't - hubby is away on two nights work so really felt it tonight. Anyway, instead I have just downloaded Superman Returns onto the dvd player to watch as I don' t feel sleepy yet. Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow with superhuman powers to help me through AF day 3 - I'll need them as Friday night especially is when I find it the worst.
Goodnight and best wishes to all!
Bandit

Sunnyside up is definately better than bottoms up! Glad to see that you found this wonderful site and community.

Matten...I too did say a little prayer that was similar to yours. I am not much of a religeous person but I was desperate. I found this site the very same day!

That is a good start and you can do it.
