      Hi Sunray

      Life is like a roller coaster it has its UPS and it has is downs and I so believe that saying. Yes it is difficult,m yes we do have gremlins and yes we have all been on many day 1's. You keep coming back here and that is good because you know you will not be judged and you can get support. I believe you can and will do this but for some it may take longer than others. My record is 18 days and I am now on day 11 after a bad June.

      Tomorrow is another day not just for you but for everyone be strong and don't beat yourself up about this because the journey we are on is tough and poss never ending.

      You take care

        :laughmonkey: the down & out, I love it.

        Now then Sunray, firstly let me say welcome I dont think we have conversed before. Well done on finding us, it is the first step and although it might not seem like it right now this place can change lives. It did mine. I was a daily drinker for over 20 years but not any more thanks to the support advice and help I received here. It only very occasionally gets heated to this extent so dont let it put you off.
        You say today you have a glass of wine in hand, why not consider not picking up a second. Dont look too far ahead, ODAT it can be done.
        Keep safe

          Hiya Sunray
          Good to see you.
          Those gremlins, well I think we all have them. And the more we feed them the stronger they get. When we stop feeding them, they starve slowly and its a painful struggle until they are gone. But its also quite a wonderful struggle too where we learn so much about ourselves and what makes us tick, happy, pissed off etc....
          Well done for posting, its not easy but with lots of love an support, you will find your way.

              Hey Sunray and welcome - another Dub here!
              Day 1's are hard cos there is nothing to loose by drinking it seems. Like Mario says you have to make your decision yourself to help yourself and why not as Ktab says, consider making that glass of wine your last?
              If that seems too sudden or scary, decide tomorrow IS THE DAY. Plan waking up - possibly feeling hungover and plan how you will tell yourself you don't ever want to feel like that again. And then hour by hour get thro that Day 1 and unbelieveably by Day 2 you do actually start feeling better - the rewards are very quick, and then it all begins to seem soo worthwhile.
              Best of luck Sunray and stay around, this site has rescued many of us

                    Good morning Sunray, good on you for making today the day. Have you put a plan in place, read the MWO book and threads like the toolbox? Bearing in mind that it is the start of the weekend may I suggest that if you are finding it hard going or the cravings come calling today come here log on and talk to us, it is more help that lurking. I would also suggest you pick up some L-glutamine if you havent already done so.

                      Hey Sunray, I echo what Ktab says, come in and post with us, it does help more, and do beware of the weekend, the first one is by far the hardest - after that you have set a precedent 'I did it last weekend so I can do it this one' sort of thing!! Jeez at this rate there won't be a drunk left in Ireland,we'll be all here haha!!!

                        Yes sunray, you have to put/have a plan in place, This drinking problem cant be wished away, it takes some hard commitment and work,if you post more you will get to know more people who can & will help and maybe even be going through exactly what your going through,keep posting,keep reading,hope to see you more here,

                            i also recommend keep posting. it kinda makes you accountable, and you will get support and help to realize why you drink and how you can get out of the routine
