    was in a bad place, killing myself slowly, now I'm back

    Hi everyone.
    well the last few months have been an epic fail, all I can say is that i was slowly killing myself with AL but I am at the start of day 2 & feel positive, I am working a 1pm to 7pm shift & that may just be enough to get me through the danger hours of 5.30pm to 7.30pm, especially if I can have something to eat as soon as I get home.
    Anyway I have to go get ready for work, I will try to log on tonight when i get home, internet availability is a little bit sporadic at the moment

    Welcome back Withchywoman. I have also just returned after a 3 month lapse. Keep yourself nourished and hydrated, envision yourself tomorrow morning feeling fresh and NOT hungover. Take care

      :welcome: Back Witchy, glad to hear you are feeling positive. Keep busy at trigger times and make sure there is no AL in the house. There are lots of very determined people starting their AF journey at the moment so the energy is good and lots of great encouragement around.

                I remember you Witchy Woman! You were one of the strong ones! Welcome back and you're making the right decision. Just think of a tactic to get you through those hours.
                One day at a time.. Sometimes it's one minute or one second at a time.. Most important thing is to look ahead and don't look back!

                    Good for you witchy! I too am back and have 4 AF days under my belt. Wondering if you are as tired as I am of this vicious circle. I'm ready to make a change. Stay strong and hope we are both successful on this most important journey!

                        Hi Michael, and welcome. : )

                        This was one of my favorite threads when I first came here--reality check when "one or two wouldn't hurt" thoughts pop up:
                        https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...ing-22609.html

                        I also made a file of favorite quotes, posts, and poems that helped keep me on track, like you were saying. Here's a favorite: "Alcohol ravages time, energy, love, and money. Four things we can never have enough of. "

                        Congrats, on the double-digit AF days! If you think it might help to watch them add up, try the Drink Tracker:

                          Hi All,

                          perhaps we should devote this post to the "returning to the boards crowd". Im also back where I belong, got so much encouragement last time and the feeling of not being alone is a comfort. After posting last night, I already feel a bit stronger. This battle may never be over but the tremendous support here really does make it appear possible. Any one else need to be welcomed home?

                          Good luck to all in their endeavours, Neuro
                          Live your life in such a way that
                          when your feet hit the floor in the morning,
                          Satan shudders & says...
