    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Hi Juja, Lassie and everyone,

    No Juja, not quite innagaadadavita....:H as classic a riff as it is. Probably just more free form jamming/improvising throughout a lot of the songs. My challenge is not to wafle on too much with 20 min guitar solo's and send everyone home!

    Hey SL, cool stuff on your AF time friend. That's fantastic. For me, it's all in my mind and what i think and how i think each day. A positive mindset is worth the sometimes long and winding search. Then we have to hang on to it and cultivate it, many long termers would say. A review from a pretty lady is an offer difficult to refuse! Thanks. Great to hear your daughter is learning guitar.

    Have a safe, sober and happy week y'all. :h

        Dear G - the review from a pretty lady was a reference to the spinach lady, not from me:H:H - I would love a trip down under, but don't fit the description - I was wondering if the new band had the opportunity to open another chance meeting or is that water under the bridge now??
        Hang in there Nora, you can do it - and then I can follow you no pressure!

          new here...

          I stumbled upon this site in my desperate bit to get alcohol out of my life for good. I don't drink every day, have just done 5 Weeks AF. I'm a binge drinker. No off button. I can't do this anymore. I blackout, come home via some random guy who has taken advantage of me. Feel totally destroyed,ashamed. Friends and family don't understand I have a problem when I tell them as they have the idea an alcoholic drinks every day. I lead a double life. Just had my 51st birthday,disastrous night of binge drinking and came home with a split head and a body covered in bruises. Hardly a celebration. My friends went home and left me there because I was too drunk to know it was
          time to go... Sorry to ramble, it feel too ashamed to talk to anyone. So.... I am now 3 days AF. this has to stick. So reassuring to read your stories.

              Well done Lassie! Look what you've done, everyone's come back - yay! Big hello to all.

              And welcome Shezzie. So sorry to hear things have not been good for you but please be assured you've found a really good place to help you on the AF path with no judgement. 5 weeks is a huge achievement and I hope you realise that. Also hope you can let recent events go and be kind to yourself from now on. Please don't feel ashamed, we've all done things we're not proud of. Settle in, you'll find lots of good cyber friends here. Sending you a big :l. Please stick around - look forward to getting to know you.

                  Your story sounds like my late 20's/early 30's in a nutshell. I was a slut and didn't even remember it. The good news is, you CAN take control of this beast and NEVER have to feel like this again. You said you did 5 weeks AF...hang on to how good that felt. Stick close to this site, we can help!

                  Shezzie,

                  Please forgive how my comment came across, I never meant to imply that you are a slut, I was strictly speaking about myself. Darn words on a screen can sometimes come across so wrong....I hope I didn't offend you, I would never mean to.

                      A big Welcome to you Shezzie. Good to see you here. Great going on 5 weeks previous and your current booze free time. You can do this. Keep it simple they say, and don't take on too much.

                      Here's a link to our toolbox which i suggest is essential reading. Plenty of strategies, info, and inspiration.

                        Hi Shezzie, glad you found us, and there are lots of great places to visit and stay throughout.
                        Double digits today - yahoo! Still need sleep, but headache diminishing. Really starting to wonder if this is it - feels almost normal and not such a fight for some reason....hoping this is really going to happen, and am very aware it won't just happen - it is still hard work, but something has changed...
                        Morning G, K9, Nora and Fly - hope all is good in your worlds too...

                            thank you

                            Makes me cry. Thank you so much everyone. I'm still trying to work out how this site works. Nice knowing there are people who know exactly how I feel.
                            Alcoholism, really is a problem in my family but I'm the only one who recognises this. Police bought my son home... again.... Last night, absolutely legless. I fear for his safety. I don't ever want to drink again. Day four done, day five just beginning...

                              Shezzie - I understand completely! :l Great job on Day 4 and here's to Day 5!!! I know what you mean about your son. I went thru a period with my son that was awful. I was so scared all the time. Hang in there. You are doing the best thing. You are getting healthy & that will help everything. :l

                              SL - you are sounding wonderful. Congratulations. :h

                              Fly, G, K9 and all :wavin:. Got to get back to work..........

                                Shezzie, good to see you back Echo Nora, you're doing the right thing.

                                Hi Nora, SL, G, Juja, CE, RC, K9 & all. Nothing to report except busy day, tired now, alcohol didn't feature. Off to bed x
