:new: I've been reading some of the posts and well, I know that I belong here. I'll jump right in and say that old saying: I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Every morning I wake up saying the same thing to myself: I did it again!

:welcome: baltimore and Ernie! Boy I can relate to that endless cycle of being sick and tired of being sick and tired, and of saying "I did it again, and won't do it today..." each and every morning. Then by 5Pm or Noon somewhere or noon or 7AM I would be drinking again. Next day, repeat.

If I can stop that madness then I know you can do it too. It's not easy, but it has sure been worth it to get my life back!

Ditto the suggestion to download the My Way Out book and start there. We are also very fortunate that this forum if very "open" to discussions of a variety to tools and programs for helping with recovery from alcoholism. Don't be afraid to try various things until you find what works for you.

Thank you so very much for your support, already. I don't really know the road ahead, but it can't be worse than the road I've been on for so many years. I'm so ready for a change! I will download the My Way Out book, and grab any of the tools I can get my hands on. I'm worried about triggers later on today...

Hi Baltimore - I'm relatively new here & already making improvements. Not quite where I want to be, but I have to be patient & remember it's a process. Just try to congratulate yourself for even small successes.

I'm always impressed that people on the board like Doggie Girl are so willing to share & help those of us that are just beginning. We all appreciate it & I'm sure you will too!

Happy Tuesday!
