      Good job!

      My husband ran out yesterday to get a bottle of white wine for some guests to drink at dinner and came home with a huge bottle of vodka for me. Wine, beer, and whiskey have no hold over me, but vodka was my love. I told him before that I'm done with booze. WTH was he thinking?

      I haven't had any cravings, but I'm not 100% sure I can trust myself with it.

        Yes wine is my drink of choice as well. 1.5 bottles most nights and lots of regrets in the morning. I have been AF free for 1 day, but I am proud of myself. Normally I would've been passed out hours ago.

              Great job Patricia ! After success all week .... An all day meeting led to yesterday being a set back with a full 750 l of Wine and a margarita to top it off. Did not get to fully enjoy the dinner I spent hours preparing... What a waste of a $20 piece of grouper
              Keep on plugging all.

                Thanks to all and hoping for change!

                A big and grateful hello to everyone on this thread from someone who has read it all the way through and feels so understood and hopeful as a result!

                It truly is amazing how much so many of us have in common and how the struggle with AL can somehow get so overwhelming in such a seemingly short time.

                I'd like to join in with permission; this thread has been a near lifeline for some time now and now I'm ready to jump in. A significant step to say the least!

                Again, thanks to all who have shared themselves and their wisdom throughout this thread.:new:

                  Welcome bc!

                  Hey to all!

                  Bc... Your first post is the hardest... Congrats for joining and sorry I did not see until today. Well... If you read from the beginning you know the good bad and ugly and that we ( me) are far from perfect. Please tell a little about you when you are ready.

                  To all my old friends... I read somewhere the place to be is with the winners. Well after some reflection...my past habits have NOT made me the winner I know I am and I am ready to put forth more effort to making a positive change. I see some of the success stories out there and I want my own with alcohol.

                          Enough, thank you for your welcome! It's amazing how liberating it feels to have finally joined this sight and thread after such a long time as a 'lurker'!

                          To make a fairly long story short(er), I am a single mother of three, one of whom is in college. I was a non-drinker forever, until my marriage exploded about 10 or so years ago. The explosion was a good thing; I needed to be out for my sake and for my kids. In any case, during that time, I started drinking a little ( 1-2 beers per night) but somehow it crept up on over the years and since being laid off about 2 years ago, AL use has gotten crazy. I'm now a wine drinker....and way too much every night. I know I have developed a problem and really want to overcome it. I also have a family history of alcoholism, and I've seen first hand the very ugly death that it can bring. So...I am highly motivated to change my ways, and now! I have a wonderful boyfriend who is supporting me in my goal for sobriety, and the job that let me go may very well rehire me in the not too distant future due to a retirement (union rules and all....). So I know I have a lot going for me, and now that I'm here, I feel like I have even more! Thanks again! :thanks:

                              Back again. I've been a mess since December. I'll be in chat around 4:30 if anyone wants to move through the evening together. It's the hardest time for me, I don't know where my will power goes!

                                Hi Classic girl,

                                Texas is about 8 hours time difference so I'll not see you in the chat room ... in the words of Byrdlady - the wise - before witching hour - go find yourself a cookie ....

                                and post like crazy ... it has really helped me.
