Thank you for the welcomes. I am reading a lot of posts and just everything. It is helping me figure out things. Research, isn't that where this whole started...very cool.

I also can see how the holiday affected a lot of people. I'd like to think the next holiday will be better, and that's next month! Thanks again and I'll share more soon.

Have a great day

Hi there, not sure where to post but here I guess. I had a wonderful day back at work. I think the holiday got to me, long story, but nonetheless, I do know I have to remember not to fall back on drinking to make it all better. I'm going to download the book and go from there. I travel a lot, that helps soo much, because I'm not alone then, and I feel more productive. Many issues here I'm sure... but will take one at a time and remember that I can do this, after today. I worked hard, went to the gym, shopped and not once thought of drinking. I can do this! But it's the other scarey days. I hope someone gets that. I think I abuse the drink just to not feel ugh, lonely, stuff. It's sporadic, but I don't like it. I don't like feeling like crap the next day etc, etc. I don't like hiding behind a drink in life when lifes the sh*t. I guess that's it for now and thanks for listening. You guys rock, keep up the good work.
That felt good to say by the way.
:thanks:

We are great! :H

So glad that you are here. You are right, this will be great for you when you are traveling. The good news is you have at least one "good" day behind you. That proves that you can do it!!

Take care and keep posting.!

Welcome Temp, I'm quite new myself, found the site 11 days ago.

Prior to that I was drinking every day, sometimes as much as 3 bottles of wine, and constantly feeling lousy with guilt etc......

I've now cut back to 1 bottle per night (still too much but at least its a start) and i've had two nights AF

Hope that you get as much from the site as I have, there are some fabulous people here.

Take care, Paula xx :l

That's what you need to do IMHO. Find something else to do when you're not drinking. You get bored, you want to drink.

Hi

Hi all and thanks for the responses. Hope everyone is doing great. I've been so busy, it's been good for me. I'm also getting ready to go on the road again. We had a holiday party, and I was okay. I drank some, but I didn't drive, and I was up the next day and ready for work. I can do this. Major moderation, and it's going very well. It is so weird, but my name is Paula too! I like reading here, it helps so much. I don' t know how much I can help with other people other than tell them what is going on and stuff. I'm not scared anymore, the day I found this site, everything changed for me. So thank you. I also remember it's the holidays and those overseas are so much worse off. So I am a very lucky person. Never want to feel so down and desperate again. Okay, thanks for letting me vent.
