Hey Stump,
Welcome you have found a truly wonderful place to take this journey.
Sounds like you got here at a great time.
Do you have a plan,or a start date?
You should look into the supplements.
They have worked wonders for me!
I'm also taking Campral. (prescription med. for cravings)
I should tell you that I have been a drunk for 32 years and with the supps. and Campral I have reached 22 days alcohol free.
The longest I have ever been sober !
Keep reading and posting.
You are not alone in this.
There is nothing but love and support here.
And NO judgement.
And again Welcome !!
Much Love and Peace to you !!

Heres hoping
thank you for your reply haven't heard of campral before.Was hoping tomorrow would be my starting point as too late for today.Each day week month goes past am hoping for a starting point but just can't get there.I am just so over the next day next day syndrome have been trying to do that for 4 years or more.I tried that today am sitting here now drunk and wondering what went wrong.I have had to change things in my life today just so I could drink!I came home from work 2 hours early so that I could drink.I organised sporting event etc for my child so that I could continue to drink it is madness I wish I didn't have to deal with it .:confusedBut it has become a fact of life for me.

Welcome, Stump.
You will find this place helpful and supportive.
You said you have had to change things in your life just so you could drink. That really hit home with me. I used to be at that point in my life, also. I am now 24 days AF this month because I changed my daily routines. For me, it helped to make a cup of tea around that awful craving time or fill a class of water with lemon. I also come on here at that time or just step outside with my tea and walk around the house. I was amazed how the craving just went away after I mixed up my routine a little. So, I think that if you could just put in the same effort and change things in your life so that you don't drink, you will be able to have some succes. A plan is necessary. What are your goals? 30 days AF is what I'm after right now and I'll see what happens after that. I wish you all the best, Stump. Take care and stick around here!When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
