    I think I need help

    Well - after trying numerous times to stop, and then just giving up and giving in, I've decided to try again. It's been a while since I've been here, but this site was so helpful to me in the past, I thought it might work again. I'm not succeeding giving up the wine on my own and I miss all my old pals here. I need to be accountable to somebody and need some help!!! (I've even thought of going back on Topamax!!) My BF is one heck of an enabler, so I really have to be strong and put my foot down. 1.5-2 litres of wine every day (almost) is no good. So, I'm glad to be here. Sept is 30 days, and I REALLY WANT 30 DAYS AF!!!!!!!!! I shall go out for a bike ride and then try to keep busy until bed time, which will be earlier than my usual nightowl bedtime, but will be hard to fall asleep. I shall pull out the CD's and give that a go, with some sort of sleep aid. It will be so wonderful to wake up at a decent time in the morning to get to work. I must focus on that!!!

    I think I need help

    Hello Peanut,

    Welcome back and kudoos for gettng back to sober. I have been around mwo for about two months and boy what a supportive group. I have had some ups and downs but made it about 3 weeks AF, fell back a bit and then mostly sober ( not totally AF ) since then.

    You are welcome to stop by my thread conquering day 1. Read some of the early stuff to get motivated ( I was pretty pathetic ). Same as you a bottle plus- some days 2 a day for as long as I can remember. Tonight instead of the old drinking routine... Here I am posting totally sober.

    You can do it!
    All the best,
    Enough!

        So good to see you

        Peanut, you and I were on the ride together several years ago.. I am still struggling but not happy with myself. I have thought about you many times. Let's connect and come up with a plan; please PM me. We were there before (and you were way better than me) so let's get here again!

          Thanks for the welcome back. I have missed the forum, but cannot spend quite as much time on it as I used to!!! Lav - you were always such an inspiration to me. I shall check out all your threads.
          CS - yes, of course - I remember well. I shall PM you later this evening I think I do need a plan of sorts. I managed to stay AF yesterday without too much trouble. I was out for a long bike ride and every time thoughts of wine and just one more night of wine..... I would say NO, out loud, much to my embarrassment when passing people out walking. Talking to my self in public again!!!!

          It's friday night and it's gonna be rough. I shall go for a run and then just keep as busy as possible. I am hoping to get alot of reno work done this month and it will never happen if I am always exhausted from late nights and too much wine!!!

          I'll check the threads tonight when I have some time. Off home!

                Glad your back ....

                I know your "past" can help your "future" in this journey. All of that experience is not in vain. Put it to good use here ... and make it happen!! Here you go ... and running your are!!
                Put your hands over your heart - and tell yourself that you are going to guard this essence of who you are with everything. Alcohol opens us up to darkness and depression instantly. You choose love today. Guard it by keeping the poison out of your body. It IS poison.

                  Hello to all.
                  I'm new and just been reading posts. So glad you all put your stuff out there. I want to go AF. I drink 4-5 mini bottles (airplane)of white zin per night. I used to drink way more. But I still really crave this relief from anxiety every night. I'm on Pristique and it is a big help with depression but anxiety still peaks around "happy hour". I sneak drink since my 16 year old daughter is really upset by any drinking. She has caught me and I feel terrible for causing her grief. Anyone been in these shoes?

                    Yep blessinton was just in the dog house yesterday for drinking the day before. My daughter, 23 was very angry with me which made me feel bad but later when I saw her sadness after words to me, THAT made me cry. Stick around, some really great people here who know exactly how you feel .

                      doghouse

                      Thanks Georgie. Disappointing a daughter sucks. If I put myself in her shoes it must look like "whats wrong with my mom that she has to have a drink to feel okay. Why does she do that when she knows how upset I get?"

                      Don't know what to tell her except that she's right, I'm weak.

                      But I'll keep reading.
