Hello

[taylormaid]

:new: Hi, feels strange doing this,but I've been reading your messages and feel that just maybe,this will help me. I've tried AA but couldn't relate at all.Thankfully, I'm not down & out, just cant seem to get through a day without a drink. Every morning (after a night of guilt )I resolve to give it up, but by teatime, I convince myself I can just have one or two...which leads to five or six,or seven or eight. I really hate this! Recently I lost my partner of 30yrs, because of my drinking, I have been in hospital twice due to falling down & needing stitches.I now realise I have a problem & need help, so I look forward to chatting with you guys

Hello

Taylor-
I'm glad you're here. Please download the book and start reading, and continue to read the posts on this board..you've come to a place of many supportive people with similar stories. Right now, we're dealing with the loss of one of our own, so please understand that we welcome you, but we're just not as chatty as usual. We, of course, will be happy to answer any questions, so please don't hesitate to ask!

I wish you the best of luck. That really sounds like me. When you fall down and hurt yourself you realize that you have a problem and something must be done. I' m not looking forward to my blood tests tomorrow as I know my liver function test will be out of this world! Good luck! I am working on cutting back or eliminating booze myself as I know my liver can't take this much longer.

Hello

I too have the same. Wake up, decide not to drink, get home and drink! Its a vicious circle of self loathing. Have done a couple of weeks at 5 days sober. However I get to the weekend and it starts all over again. My brother is getting married this week and Saturday I will try so hard not to drink.

Hi Taylormaid,
:welcome: to MWO.
I hope you will find the help you are looking for here.
There are many people here in the process of healing.
We are not "there" yet.

Check out all threads and post as many places as you can to look for the support you need.

I post in monthly abs because that is my goal right now and also longterm abs. Working on it for months now. Don't get discouraged.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

Hello

Hi,

You're certainly not alone, I think most of us on this site have been (and still are) in the same vicious circle, But since finding this site 11 days ago i've cut back from 3 bottles of wine a day down to only 1, and i've managed 2 days AF.

Good luck with everything and take care, it's good to have you here.

Take care, Paula

Hello

crap. i have done that for the last year. every morning having a frank talk with myself on the way to work about not drinking only to have "one" drink when i get home *then more* and then waking up in the a.m. to start it all over again. i am overweight, bored and guilt ridden. sunday i determined to quit drinking or go into treatment. i didnt drink sunday and had one glass of wine last night...hopefully, i can hold it together when i get home. glad we all have each other because this stuff is hard. congrats to nancy that is awesome and thanks for being so encouraging all!!

Hello

Welcome Taylormaid...you can do this! There are so many helping hands right here who understand..I came feeling just like you this summer, read the book and followed RJs recommendations to the T..I tried moderation for a while and now have been AF for six weeks (I finally realized I just tired of trying to fit drinking in my life..the topamax helped me change that). The program works great and the support here is wonderful..but you do have to want it..and coming here sounds like a big YES! Good luck!
