Second time around

[ronnie]

Hi everyone,
Well this is the second time around that I have been here and I really want to be AF for good this time. About just over a year ago I managed 3 months sober and I felt great, then I had a few problems but I still managed to stay sober so I thought well I have gone through all that and did not hit the bottle so I should be able to just have a few drinks when I feel like it and I wont let it all get out of control like last time.......Well I have had enough of feeling like crap and looking like crap plus I love my family too much to put them through it all again, as it has now got to that stage where enough is enough.
This is my second day of being AF, like they say "One day at a time" and if it comes to it I will take it one hour at a time if I need to as I am going to beat this. I want my old life back again where I can wake up smilling and enjoy the time with my family, it would be nice to have my friends look up to me again instead of running away from me. Last time I was here I had so much support from everyone on this site and it would be nice if anyone here could help me through this.
Thank you
Ronnie xxxx :l

Hey Ronnie! Good to see you back in the saddle again! I know I catch up with you in the other place, but of course could never mention the devils brew there.
Course you can do this, you have all your reasons and determination in place and also you KNOW what the AF life can hold for you. You will do this

Your post is an inspiration Ronnie. I gave up for three months earlier this year. I even managed to stay sober through the death of my dear old mum. I have been modding since May. Sometimes this has been successful sometimes not, and if I am honest I can start to feel a pull back to my old ways. Rather than give in like I would have done before I now know that this place exists so I am checking myself in again as a forum contributor (if you will have me back that is) I am back at work next week after a two week holiday and traditionally the three month slog up to Christmas has been a real difficult time of the year for me with work pressures, driving in the dark for long hours, etc etc I am not going to reach for the bottle. I know that is what causes the depression. So here I am on Day One again. I know the good people here will not judge and will help
