My first day

[Smookie]

Hello everyone. This site is exactly what I need. I have been a daily drinker for close to 4 years. I am so sick of not remembering what the hell happened the night before. Im sick of waking up and feeling like crap, and trying to function at work. I have 2 boys that I need to set an example for and I haven't been doing a very good job of that. I am hoping to beat this thing along with everyone here. I really need some encouraging words, because I am not feeling so good about myself. :new:

Welcome! Glad you are here, ready to "beat this thing"! Lots of us arrived here when we became sick of the same stuff you are sick of. Do some reading, put together a plan, gather up all your determination, ask questions, and let us know how you are doing, OK?

First I would like to say Welcome. You have foung a great site with alot of people who can understand how you feel. I can relate to you since I also have two boys who need to see me set aa good example. It is very easy to feel badly about yourself when you are drinking daily and feel like you can not get out of the routine. You can turn your life around and set that example for your boys. Read and post. Get the book and read it. Come to chat and meet others who you can relate to. And most of all do not give up.

Hello and Welcome
Many of us have been where you are. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have had long stretches AF, so I know that it can be done. It is very difficult at times, but there is lots of great advice and support here, so stick around.

Hey Smookie and welcome,
That was one of my main reasons for wanting to be AF, to set a good example for my kids. Just stick around, read, post, get the book, and start up a plan. A plan is so important. You can do this.

I too am a mum and am doing this not just for me but also for my children. This site is great, just read around, post, explore the tools available. Let us know how you do. There's always someone here for you 24/7 because we're all over the world and you'll "meet" people whom you can so relate to.
Good luck - look forward to hearing how you do

Welcome Smookie!

You will find a lot of people here wanting the very same thing, more out of their life....how we got here is invariably different, however, we are all here. I, too, am a mom of three daughters, and while they drive me to want to drink, I have remained AF for 23 days now......something I was so very unsure I would be able to do, but HAVE! If not for the love and support of the people on this site, and my hubby, I wouldn't be here.....that coupled with the fact that I want a better life for my daughters....I don't want them growing up with a drunk, like I did.......

So good job! You have made the first step and it's all baby steps! If you need us, we are always here for you!!! ALways remember that.......

Welcome, smookie! :welcome:

Yes, I feel the same way about this site. It's certainly been a life saver for me. I have two children, too, and with the help of this program and the wonderful support here, I can now say I take great care of them and am a great mom. I understand. We are here for you.

Hi Smookie and :welcome:

I also wanted to quit drinking and smoking to be a good example for my 2 sons. So far, so good. I want them to make good choices because of me, not in spite of me. I am a much, much, much better mom sober. (most of the time):H

Please stick around!
