Need Help Being Accountable

[HealthyLiving]

I realized this weekend that I have an alcohol problem. My husband has mentioned it, my friends have mentioned it. It is only now that I am admitting to it.
I NEED HELP.
So today Monday 1/23/13, I am resolving to spend the next 30 days without drinking alcohol.
Today is day one. I would very much like your help in being accountable.

WELCOME!

Have you gone to see you doc? sometimes detox can be dangerous if done on your own.

Good Luck!

Hi HealthyLiving...welcome!

Don't be embarrassed and ashamed to go to your doctor, I guarantee that he/she has heard/seen way worse. In fact, my doctor commends me for coming clean and getting well. Taking care of your health and getting better is nothing to be ashamed about...lift your head up and walk in there and say "I am ready to get better...please help me!"

You may regret asking us to keep you accountable...we're pretty persistent! :H

Again...welcome!

Good job finding us, HL. No need to be embarrassed here. And K9 is right - your doctor will probably be pleased to get you help.

Come over to the Newbie's Nest (link: https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...est-30074.html) and tell us your story. The more info you can tell us about your drinking history and what brought you to your decision, the better we can advise and support you. I'm positive there will be many who can relate to your story. We have been there and we can help you through it.

Ok. this is day three. the end of day 2 was rough. but managed to get through it. Had sparkling water instead of tequila. Am worried about today. My husband, who has been so supportive, is working tonight. Not sure how I will get through the night alone.
