    Back again... Day 1. Need quit support.

    Hi,

    I'm back and could use some support. I was here about six month ago trying to quit (have a thread in the Your Story section called 'Diving in at Last', with some success for a bit. But the drinking has spiralled again. I recently did 8 days alcohol free - felt great. Decided to drink one night. Led to a lot of bingeing over the weekend. Again feel like crap. Looking back at a journal from the last time I was here this morning and feeling like I'm just where I was, or worse. The only silver lining is that each failure like this reinforces that I need to quit - for good.

    Day 1 again here... Still hungover from last night. Drinking a lot of water.

    Sigh.

    Back again... Day 1. Need quit support.

    Hi L -
    It is my day one again too. I went for over 100 days AF last summer and then around the holidays started drinking again. Started out slow with days of no AL in between but now have been drinking every day since mid-March. I am so sick of the way I feel when I am drinking but I can't seem to stop. I wake up in the morning saying "I will not drink today" and then by late afternoon cave in and start drinking. Spiraling is a good word because that is what it feels like. Posting this to give myself some accountability to my actions. I am also thinking about AA which I have never done. My goal is 7 days. So here's to day one again.... we can do it!

      day1 also

      hi

      i have not been on here for sooo long.
      i lost my old job and started drinking again but start a new job today and after too long im going af.
      Im sure with the support people give on here you will make it.
      Iv never been a 24/7 drinker,more of a daytime (stopping)evening (just a few maybe now feeling ok).but after realising i have been planning and hiding the drinking i need to stop,its not even enjoyable,more of a must.

      So im joining you all on day one,be strong.

        Can I hang out? Stories pretty much the same - just I did day 1 yesterday. I can use start buddies if you will have me along for the ride.
        That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
        Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

          Fantastic, I've found my hang-out for the month of April. Day 2 for me today. i can relate to the best intentions in the morning and having them fly out the window by dinner time.

          LilyE, Prairie Fairy, Getting There and Nott's Bad Habit we are very similar and we are now a TEAM!! Together we'll kick Alcohol to the curb !

          I have been making half-a$$ed attempts to stop for 30 consecutive days since I joined. I am trying to capture that zen-like discipline where you live mindfully and think before you act. My first goal is 7 days and Saturday should be a tough one as the gang is having a spaghetti cook-off and we're competing. I will get tons of flack for not drinking but as my latest guru suggests, no explanation is necessary; just a serene smile.

          Let's do this!

            how about we start a new thread. 'April2nd and onwards' or something.
            And day by day we put what has happened,any temptations,good ways to keep busy,things to avoid etc.
            im sure this will help us,and keep us focused on helping ourselves.

              OK, go ahead and start it. I'm 100% on board and I'll start it if you want.

                          Paula, oh dear, are you ok? If you feel you've reached rock bottom maybe it's time for a treatment centre if you haven't done so before. Is that an option? Keep posting..

                              I have tried everything and it would take weeks to get into a treatment centre. I hope that i'm just going through a rough patch, my husband and family are very supportive, but unless you suffer from alcoholism nobody can understand. At the moment i feel as though i am in a black hole. I don't feel feel i can live like this any longer
