    God I make myself sick!!!

    Well for the 20,000 time (well it seems like it anyway) I have committed myself to stopping the daily wines. Was s'posed to start the alcohool free thing froom the 1st of January, but have managed to come up with some fab (but very pathetic) excuses. However I make myself sick with my lack of stickability!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is the day though, I cannot put it off any further.

    Found this site today, signed up and had a wonderful read of sooooo many motivated and positive people!!! As opposed to joinging AA, I'm here!!

    I would consdier myself as one of those "functioning alcoholic's", who holds down a very good job and runs the house with two kids (solo) but have very ltitle else in my life... But getting fatter by the day and further and further from happiness.

    2009 IS going to bring me happiness, soboriety and a much slimmer, positive and healthier me!

    God I make myself sick!!!

    hi, I'm new to this forum, I think we are similar, in that we are functioning alcoholics, I scare myself, as I just want to be someone who can enjoy a drink again, and I dont think thats ever going to happen

        Hello and Welcome aboard!!
        Great attitude Gemini. It is best to read the book and formulate a plan. I am also looking forward to a sober, much healthier year.
        Claudia, some people can Mod, others, like me, can't, but there are threads for both. The book recommends 30 days AF, before you make a decision either way.
        One day at a time. You will get great support here.

                    Welcome! You will find lots of support from many wise people. Have you downloaded or ordered the book? It is an important part of the program. Make a plan and stick to it. You are not alone. I have been drinking for 20 years, wine primarily. I am now 18 days sober and feeling great. Lots of support and wisdom here.

                          Gemini Ma,

                          :welcome:

                          Welcome to the site. When I binged drank and went to work, I felt like that was all I had too. I've been slowly feeling healthy from this program and getting back into my old passions. You will have this site now in your life. Good luck and let us know how we can support you.

                          :l

                            Gemini ma - we've all been there, we understand. I was getting very good at not looking in the mirror at myself because I was disgusted with my behavior and lack of self control. I too am a functioning alcoholic. I am back in college for the second time and managed to get passing out drunk everynight and still stay on the dean's list. It's a disease many of us manage to hide from family and peers even at its worst, so it becomes a lonely, vicious cycle. Nobody knows so nobody can help right? And being raised like I was..."pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and get on with life"...it's hard to lay your problems on other people or ask for help.

                            You have found a wonderful place in this community, Today is day 4 for me and it feels good to say that. I really recommend you get the book and supplements, and visit this site often. It is a great source of inspiration. So, Welcome-

                            Claudia, Welcome!

                            Seahorse, Welcome back!
