    Day 4 (first time in 7 years)

    Hi everyone
    I've being visiting this site now for around a year. I've tried to quit several times and thought about it most of the time, occasioally I've made posts when I thought I could finally quit, but never made it past day two. I've then disappeared into the background thinking I'm not worthy to make any comments.
    Something clicked on Monday, I don't know what - but I knew I was ready. I am now on day four, I can't believe it!
    I joined a gym. Employed a personal trainer, which the only way I can afford her is with the money I'm saving from not buying the wine. When that dreaded 4.00 - 5-00pm time arrives when the pangs start, I take the kudaz and remind myself I can't, so forget it!
    I really think I can do it this time, and I know this is the first time I've really felt so sure.
    All of you have inspired me so much.
    Thanks Guys
    Alison

        Thanks - How was Friday Doo Doo

        Thanks for your support Elizabeth and Betty. It always feels like coming home when I visit this site.
        I was wondering, if you read this Doo Doo, did you survive Friday night, when you thought you might have a drink or two?

            Hi overit, I was going to say exactly what Irish just said. Do not ever think you are not worthy to post here. We have all made our mistakes, ups and downs; we are all in this together. Glad you are doing so well!!!

              You are very welcome!! I am new here too and no matter what you post however trivial or irrelevant you feel it to be someone will relate to it and respond to you.

              What a feeling !! Congrats on day 4 - when I came here something clicked for me too , I had tried for years to stop with limited success - now I feel as if I have let the fight go, I'm not fighting the alcohol anymore cos it just is not important anymore.

              wish you well - do come back!!

              Love S

                  Hi A,

                  Cool username!

                  Yep - it is strange, somehow I just "knew" when it was time to sort myself out too.

                  Glad you are here - keep coming back and we will help all we can!

                  take care

                      Alison,
                      Funny how something can click in your head.

                      When i started out i got a personal trainer too. Boy, she is expensive, but I think that gaining physical health and strength is part of increasing and improving emotional health and is a great help in this fight.

                      I'm fitter now than I've been in my life and still sober.

                      I think I sweat out a lot of crap in the gym and the endorphins last much longer than the chemicals of alcohol.

                      Good luck.
