Anon,
Do not be ashamed. Instead be proud of yourself for stepping up and not giving up. With determination, you can beat this. We will help you any way we can.

made it

Thank you both for your response. Well I made it! drank non alcoholic beer which tasted fine also had sip of champagne which tasted not so nice.I am off to bed to read a magazine and to be far away from the kitchen where the booze is. Cannot chuck it (alcohol)away as it is my husbands. I really want to do it this time--I have read the books, been to AA etc.etc. I am so determined each morning when I have a headache and a hangover but by 5pm all resolve goes.BTW I feel so good being able to type this at 22 10 with a clear head.

Yes Panno, how wonderful to wake up with a clear head. I just have to make sure this wonderful feeling is remembered later on in the day when the craving starts. one day at a time sounds like the way I have to go to finally kick this beast.

Just keep trying, we will get there. I'm only day 2 today. Have been trying very hard for 2 months to get sober. Longest I went for was 10 days. Then I stopped posting, shouldn't have because things went from bad to worse, so now I'm back again. For some strange reason am feeling very positive this time. YAY! Am trying to come up with some strategies for Friday nights. I seem to be able to muster up the willpower to stay sober Mon to Thurs, then have no resistance Friday nights.

Well done for going 5 weeks Spinning J!

Lets do this everyone

Just been out for a run. It was great as I usually do it as a hangover buster and feel dreadful for most of it. Well done to you all for keeping on trying and winning back some of the ground. Today I think am not going to say I will try one day at a time. i am going to say I WILL do ODAT. So this is day 2 yippee.

Good on you Anon, it is ALL inside in our head and our attitude and determination. 'might' or 'try' just don't work 'I will do it' works!!!!
Morning Gertrude, welcome back, and Spinning, well done on 3 days, in my opinion they are the hardest so don't waste all that effort!!

Hi anon,
I have slipped up again and again and again.. as the people here can attest! however, the main thing is you came back.. as I have done.. just keep trying - as many people have quoted to me - "the only failure is when you give up trying",
take care,
Katie xx

Well this is my usual temptation time! Staying positive and will go and have a long bath to change the old routine. Do not even want a drink--but only my second day I suppose.
Will look at all the other posts later and hope to get encouragement from them. i hope I will soon be in a position to be encouaraging to others.
