    Today I start over again.. anyone want to join me?

    Hi again Dexterhead!
    You are one of the first people that answered my original post a few months back. I am so glad to hear from you again. I hope you will join us "starting over" for an indefinate period of time! I know that we are at a disadvantage living in #1 the binge drinking state but together we can prevail over out of control drinking! Welcome!

      One more thing: A huge thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread for helping me achieve a whole week without any alcohol related regrets. I think we can all agree that being sober and aware makes life so much easier. We are not succumbing to the urge to escape, forget, and just shut down as we have in the past and that is something to be proud of. It feels great to go to work on Monday without anxiety. I could NOT have gotten through a tough day like today with a hang over. Lets keep it up everyone. :goodjob:

      8belles- I will check out that book. I do need something to read right now.

        I want to be with you guys on this. I can seem to get to day 4, but then the train falls off the tracks. I need support. I have the CDs (need to listen to them), need to start a journal, I take supps, need to get to the gym, maybe need some other help...

          Glad to have some new people joining the sober train. If you need support, this is the place to be. I plan to post most days if I possibly can.

          My cold is getting better, so tomorrow I hope to go out and enjoy the sober sunshine a little bit (as I've been stuck indoors, grr) as I'm back in work on Thurs.

          Hope to talk to you all more along your journeys

              Welcome goingtofeelgreat! Those first couple days are the worst. Then it gets better. In my experience, at some point I start feeling so great that I think I can handle "a few drinks" with my friends without getting out of control. I never end up being able to do this for long, if at all! So right now I am limiting my exposure to AL as much as possible and listening to the CDs, taking the supps, etc.. As your name implies, you will feel great too if you keep at it. Not drinking actually takes work I am finding.

              Kimberley- Nice picture. Its a new you! Glad you are hanging in there and starting to feel better.

              I am seriously making this change for the long term. I have an exciting life ahead of me now that I have made the choice not to waste it! Next step= GRE & PhD program applications. How did I ever have find time to drink? My life was a mess but its getting better every day that I don't give in to AL.

                  Well here I am. I've read this forum and think of myself less alone in this. Do the AA meetings help? I am thinking about going with a friend but I'm not sure. Alcohol is too much a part of my life and I want to be able to be a moderate drinker. Is that possible? I know it's probably different for everyone.

                    Welcome Scared! Many people here go to AA. Whatever works for you works. I am back to try again and am on Day 2. Many people try to follow the program and do 30 days to try to get some balance back in their lives, what I hope to do. Some here have managed to moderate, others cannot. Best to you !

                          Welcome to those who are (re)joining. Good to see you back Ronnie. Love the name 'goingtobegreat'!

                          Haha Liath I actually picked that avatar, because it IS nearly the colour of my hair!

                          It is so hot here at the moment, I'd not sure how I would cope if I had a hangover at the mo. Easy enough to get dehydrated as it is. I am treating myself to ice-cold comfort drinks: ginger beer, cherryade, cream soda mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tastes soooo good! See y'all later

                            hi i have joined today....have been very embarrassed about my behaviour lately.
                            when i drink i dont stop. i do crazy weird stuff, i am like a different person, i never remember what has happened!
                            have a raging hangover today....my problem with drinking happens when i am under stress mostly, and i dont know how else to handle the stress.
                            did anyone haveproblems with the hypno cd's? do they work?? if you feel they have helped can you tell me and i will perservere??

                              Welcome Joanne - been there, done that!

                              I can't tell you about the hypno CDs as I don't use them, but I know that whatever stage you're at, you can progress and get better. Keep posting and reading and good luck - there is a lot of good advice on here. X

                                Hi Joanne, welcome. I drank and took pills on monday, and ended up in hospital. I did get to see a psychiatrist, who was so helpful, I asked to go into rehab, but he said I was better at home, as I have a very supportive family. I need grief counselling and also help to deal with issues from my past, I'm praying that it works for me, as I cant sink any lower.
                                Have you got the MWO book ? it's very good. I'm also reading Stop Thinking Start Living. Richard Carlson (Amazon).
                                Best of luck.
                                .
