:new: I am on Day 1 and it isn't easy. i came home from work and it seemed like something was missing. i have been down this road before i had 33 days a few months ago. i am now trying this again hoping that i can finally get my act together because honestly i may enjoy drinking, but i am miserable at the same.

Hi Rosepetal,
I've been looking out for you since I saw your name in the "new members" list as rose-petal is one of my nicknames in my real life!!
Anyway :welcome: and congrats on your courage to do this! Its not easy, but you are going to feel so much better - and so proud of yourself!! - in the morning.
Stick around, read lots of threads, get to know people and let us get to know you. This is an incredibly supportive and helpful site and you will get no judgement or people telling you what to do.
There is a "Toolbox " thread which lots of people find realy helpful, plus the book of course (which can be downloaded). I'll try and find the toolbox thread and post the link for you.
stay strong today ...... and feel that gap that feels like you re missing something with doing something else to take you mind off it - do a jig saw, watch a movie, have a hot bath, chocolate, ice-cream ...... or just stay n the site and post some more!!!Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

Day 1 (again!) for me too. Most I've achieved has been 31 but that was 18 months ago and have failed superbly since . . . . . have spent last hour reading about dangers of AL trying to get my head in gear once again . . . . I am so focused in the morning but as the day wears on my willpower begins to lessen so am trying the one day at a time approach -so today I won't drink . . . . . . PxShort term goal 7 days AFComment
