          Thanks Mere,
          Not sure I want to talk yet, my story sounds the same as most. Is good to know I am not alone. Have you told your story?

            Is there a way to know who is in a paticular room?

              I've told most of my story but think I could be a bit more broad with it. I think I need to come to terms with "I'm not that bad." I know I can be. Like last week I drank during the day and I was working! That's happened three times to me in the last year - the stress of my job just builds and builds. But I've also had more AF (alcohol free) days in the last year too because I don't want to end up a statistic.
              No you can' really tell if any one is on the same thread/post unless they reply back to you fairly quickly.
              I must go though given I have an appointment at the gym for a workout - let's do this and get AF!

                  Hi again..So long time didn't visit mwo..Many problems in my life - moving, searching for job etc. Was drinking again just to reduce anxiety every day..:upset:Now for 3 days i'm sober without any medication etc. why??? Fear!!! because of alchohol i lost friend, money etc. From october i have very nice job and i understood that if i'll loose it, it's total finish.. I don't have money for vitamins, treatments, doctors...i have only this fear and it's very effective..yes, i'm drinking a lot of water, eating a little walking and every morning having a prayer..than going to solve my problems - finding a place where to live, to start to live - literally and emotionally..:h

                      Howdy forum. Glad to hear from u mere. I had a slip myself on the weekend with two drinks. but am refusing 2 bash myself up about it. The medication is knocking me around something severe and its really frustrating because I burst into tears the other night because I couldn't remember a word like toothbrush or book or cup! It has been worth it though because those two drinks would have turned into two hundred easily. So the payoff is one I am willing to take. Even though it makes me feel a bit retarted sometimes. LOL! Never felt retarded when I was drunk but just looked like I was. Hehe. Went to doc today and all my liver testing is and body fucntions are good so I jumped up and did a happy dance in his office, first one he's seen he said, first one I've done in alone time too. Hi 2 Toni. I haven't told my full story yet either so maybe if u show yours i might show mine or something like that (that is a aussie joke not some wierd sex thing k). Its real scary to share. I hope that every1 makes u feel as welcome as they have 2 me. Metal

                        Good morning Toni, Audrey and Metal! So glad to hear from you Metal - now I understand about the medication, you must be to topra. Good for you!
                        I drank Saturday night but didn't even enjoy it - hmm what's that say? But NO Alcohol Friday or Sunday and I am loving waking up without the groggy crap feeling.
                        Let's stick together to beat this thing. I know I (WE) can make it I have set so many other huge goals for myself in my life and have stuck to them. So there is my mantra.
                        I must go and check my quiche (yeah can you believe it made it before work!).
                        Audrey hope you are okay -please check in, you too Toni.

                        Have a great AF Monday! Glad you all are here.

                              Yeah for you Audrey! Welcome back Ishybit! I'm new to this as well but am feeling so good without the Alcohol! Toni & Metal are you still with us?
                              Read many posts and sites on this you'll pick up so much wisdom and insight and eventually it will resonate.
                              Today I got real stressed at work and thought "gawd a glass of wine" but then I stopped and said "no, that's a habit that only made it worse!"
                              Lately this thought has helped - I think of all the goals I've set for myself in my life and have achieved, like putting myself through 4 years of school as a single mother of a 4 year old. And there are many others - that helps me lately. Maybe it will give you pause to consider accomplishments/goals you've obtained through hard and mentally hard challenges.
                              Glad you all are here. Thanks for helping me.
