Hello eveyone,

I am new to this site and am hoping that it will help me. My drinking is out of control and I know I need to do something about it. In reading your post I realize that this maybe a very difficult time to try to get sober with the holiday coming. But wow it would be great to be sober, so here goes .... Today will be day one.

Tiny Tina,
I am on day 5 and you can do this. Just hang in here and listen to those who have been around the block. After only 5 days I feel good and my spiruts are high. Just take it one hour, one day at a time!

Tina - Good for you! I am on day 5 (again) and after trying a million times to moderate I realize that I just can't drink, no matter how much I woud love to have "just one". It is a hard road, but worth it. The people on here ROCK. Keep posting and read, read, read. There is a wealth of information - inspiring and thought provoking. Good sober thoughts headed your way. You are among friends

Thanks All,

I really feel I am in the right place, I will do my best and continue to post. I too have tried moreration and failed. I have to stop completely I am tired of the roller coaster I need my life back before it to late.

:thanks:

hello everyone here - can I come back and play?
Tiny T, this thread has been the saving of a lot of people here, me included. This is where I fell in 18 months ago and was embraced and nurtured like the sad lost person I was. Take all the advice, friendship, laughs and tears from here and revel in it - there are truly wonderful people around here - heaps of very strong new people as well who are serious about sobriety but here for chat bout everyday life as well. Great place:welcome:

:welcome:MM - so glad you decided to post. It really does help to "talk" things out and bounce things off of others. I really hope you reach your goal of getting past tomorrow night without drinking. You're doing great so far. With every day you add to being AF, you get stronger, feel better, and then have the ability to add yet one more day. I hope you'll stick with us. Sending you lots of support and strength.:l

Hi another Irish head!! Madman, the first few milestones (e.g. first sober Sat etc) are tricky but very exciting to achieve. After a few sober ones you truly will forget what day of the week it is - it just becomes utterly irrelevant - it really all gets easier and easier.

Day 1 Newbie

:new:

Hi everyone....
I am new and feeling so demoralized this morning, angry at myself for the person I have allowed myself to become with the drinking. I am hoping I have finally had enough to drink and that this will be my last Day 1. I just ordered the supplements and they can't get here fast enough. I hope by Monday!

I look forward to getting to know you and I will be here tonight instead of out getting drunk!

Sam
