    keep thinking: it'll be ok this time..

    Mike! I'd like to invite you over to the Newbie's Nest, too. Link below....when you get there, I urge you to read back a couple weeks to get to know us. A couple days ago, I posts the 4 stages of Alcoholism...it's an eye opener. Since we know that ALK is a progressive disease, it is not uncommon for us to say, "at least I still have my job, or I haven't gotten a DWI". But the case can also be made if I had quit when I was a Stage 1 instead of a solid Stage 3, I could have saved myself, my husband and many others a LOT of pain. Please come join us, we can help!! Welcome! Byrdie

      Smart recovery

      Hey Southampton Mike,

      I don't want anyone to think living in Southampton drives people to drink - it's a great place!

      I hope to try Smart Recovery tomorrow if I can get myself together sufficiently to actually do something positive for myself. So if I do make it there I will report back and you can see if it might be for you...

        Hi SW

        Same for you, try EDP if you can, phone number in Dorset is 01202 482 908 and they'll put you onto a Hampshire number.

        Nothing wrong with Southampton, been there loads of times, great place!
        It's not what you drink, it's how much!

          Some people just can not drink and I am one of them. It sounds like you may be one of them too. Here are some wise words from a fellow alcoholic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI-BhQGwDO8[/video]]Craig Ferguson Talks About Life As A Recovering Alcoholic - YouTube
          Sober since Sept. 24th 2012 This time 4 SURE!

            Mike,

            How are things buddy?
            If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic.

              The effort and morale boost you get after you start racking up
              days will probably not allow you to wanna ever touch alcohol.
              I don't allow myself to think far ahead because that pressure
              is overwhelming. I focus on the person I wanna be. Alcohol has
              no place in the new me. It makes it easier to focus without Al.
              Its for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and DO NOT let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1
