Welcome to the forum win.

When your ready (of course) maybe you can tell us a little bit more about your goals etc? It sounds like you have that obsessive thinking, like many of us have had and still do where every waking moment is spent thinking about a drink!!

Great people here (there and everywhere) so get stuck in and don't be afraid to ask and share anything here. We're all here for the same reasons.

Have a great first sober day and always remember no matter how hard things may seem right now it will get easier as you learn and progress.

Love and Happiness
Hippie

1 st day

Four years ago I gave up drinking, I made it 14 months. My drinking has been out of control
for about 6 months. Nobody has said anything to me about getting control, it is always me telling them I worried about myself. So here I am going for a sober day.Time to stop talking about it. This is a problem in family, my father died of it ,my 2 brothers go to AA for about 20 years. My girlfriend and cousin died from it. That 14 months was the hardest thing I ever did all my friends are big drinkers, and my husband knew he had a sober driver so he drank twice as much.My goal is to have a glass of wine on the weekends
I don't know if this is possible for me, but right now thinking that I could never have a drink again is too much for me. I guess time will tell I hoping the meds and supplements the CDs and all of you will help with the wanting a drink all the time.

I may sound stronger then I am. I am dying for a drink this is the time of day I would start.
I am tied from the long weekend of drinking and when I have a drink I get energized.
I hate this feeling::upset:

:colorwelcome: win! You've come to a great place. I know the feeling of being on that horrid treadmill of hating and "loving" to drink all at the same time. Or hating it during the hangover, then loving it again once the hangover passes. Like an endless treadmill.

I hope you will keep reading and posting and checking out the many approaches people here are taking with success. There is not magic, it won't be easy, but from the way you sound, I think it will be WORTH IT.

Make sure to read the book so you understand the base line program as RJ recommends it.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

I made today

Thanks for the encouragement I do need it and welcome it from everyone.:thanks:
I am in the clear for today. My weakest time of the day has come and gone.
I am almost done with reading the book, I read it 4 years ago and it is amazing
how much it helps to know I am not alone.
