Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

Hi all, its been a while again since i posted and things have not been too good. Im able to easily drink a bottle of wine a night with relatively no effects which is so worrying. I know that i have to stop completely but i am finding it hard to find the will power to do it. I know that it could pickle me --- I just wish that i would wake up

Hi Everyone, Where is Enough that started this Thread? and Shueaddict? This is just one hell of a merry go round. People come,they go and the devil sucks them in. I am really struggling and feel like just giving up..........its to damn hard!! I was born an al addict and that's my lot in life!! Sorry to be so negative but I am just so damn sick of being sick.

I know where you are coming from, i am on day2. Did not sleep much but drank tons of water, and smoking like a chimmney. I have been trying for 20 years to stay sober long enough to enjoy it. It is hard but i guess we have to find something that we enjoy to replace al. I am still trying to figure that out. I just started in november and lasted 4 days, but now i have to put my all into it or it will kill me. They say in here to keep posting and read like crazy thats all i did yesterday every hour and it does help knowing you are not alone, your not alone in here, keep at it i am going too

Yes, for sure, spend as much time on here as you can.....you will encounter people either exactly where you are, or ones that HAVE been where you are. People think they cant stop drinking.....Im here to tell you that you CAN indeed quit.

You've already made the step in the right direction by deciding to stop. You have one day under your belt. Make yourself some small goals. day one......done day seven....and keep reaching for it. It wont be easy, but it WILL be worth it.

/does Mr. Smithers voice from Simpsons..........egggggggggcellent!

Try and change your habits/triggers, and it will go a long way in helping you quit the bottle.


I wish the two of you all the strength, knowledge, and support needed to win the battle

I wonder what happened to Enough, Not Tonight, Shue, WineSucks, etc., too. We all started here around the same time. I wonder about a lot of people here who come and go.

I had to go looking for her name---Queenbug! She had the Medusa head as her avatar. She was hilarious. Wanted to get sober for her daughters. I wonder what happened to her.

Twitt, congrats on making through Day 1! I hope that you're getting some ideas about how you're going to stay sober. Some people here listen to hypnotic CDs that help with addiction. I mentioned L-Glutamine in another thread to help with cravings. Or the Jason Vale book Kick the Drink Easily. It's hard to just muscle your way through this. The sleeping will get better, I promise!

Hi everyone.
Yes it is really easy to disappear. Thank you all for keeping the thread going. Like many I found my way back to a bottle plus a night. Day after day. Bought several cases for a Christmas party earlier in the month and well... You know how that goes.
Today is the first day I am not hung over in quite some time. Just too exhausted to open a second bottle alcohol is a drug... Plain and simple. It sucks you into a cycle that only goes one direction... Downhill.

Too many parties... Too much temptation to quit. This feeling of normality today is a little wake up call.
I will stay closer to the thread. Please all my old friends check in and come back too! We were on a roll for a while.
Enough!

Fly... Boozer... Thanks for asking about me.... You brought me back.

Shue... We made a good team! Are you there? Just say hi.
E!

Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

Hi all... As promised I am checking in. Not a successful evening as a Christmas dinner meant too much wine. Drove home and hubby was very disappointed to say the least. I promised him on my way to dinner and even though I tried to watch myself I certainly was not sober when I arrived home.
Sorry once again. I am ready to be accountable and would like some support ( and would be happy to give some) to my friends out there.

Here is to conquering once again!!!!!
Enough!

I think that just being aware of wanting to quit and being here is a step in the right direction. :l

I'll join you on that one Enough! I've certainly disappointed the SO in that department and woken up with enough self-loathing...

So - if you want an accountability buddy - I am happy to come along...
