    New Life

    Hi all

    Been struggling to get up the courage to post on here, but am hoping today is going to be day 1 of a new start for me. I have struggled on and off with booze for years now. I have no "off" switch. If I have 1 I will have 10. Then 20, then 30, in fact I will keep going until I am hammered. Not proud about it but there it is. I can't control it and believe me I have tried. I think the only solution is to stop altogether, and tonight is the night I try (again).

    Any advice or guidance very welcome! A lot of you guys have done this already so please help me out if you can.

    Today is the day I start.
    1st September 2015.

      Hi, FF

      The link to the Nest is in my signature. It is full of people with busted off switches when it comes to alcohol. There is also a link to the toolbox, which is full of tips for success.

      Hope to see you in the Nest! :welcome:

        Welcome fat fellow. Lots of support here. Some people start a daily dairy of their progress for support and encouragement. Investing in a gym membership can pay of big time. Nutrition is the #1 thing to address. Alcoholism for the most part is a symptom of deficiencies.
        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

          Hi Fatfella and :welcome: to MWO.

          As Lizker says supplementing the vitamins, minerals and amino acids that alcohol and poor diet have stripped from your body will really help.

          There is a link in my signature for a synopsis of the problem, also read 'seven weeks to sobriety' by Joan Larsen.

          You can also order supplements from here to help repair and reduce cravings.

            Hi Fat Fella and :welcome:

            I too have a busted off switch. It was hard to stop, but with the help of the MWO book, program, and people here on the forum I am able to stay off the booze one day at a time. You can do it too! Pull up a chair. Never give up.

            Sobriety Date = 5/22/08
            Nicotine Free Date = 2/27/07

            One day at a time.

                Hey Fat Fella

                Welcome! You are in good company here. Most of us have no OFF switch.
                I know I don't for sure. I struggled for years too, a lot of us have.

                I really wish you well and there is great help in the nest here at MWO. I really am not 100% sure what made the difference for me. I used to cry and cry and live in terror that I could never quit. I was lost.

                This place has wonderful people who are non -judgemental and kind. Some have years of sobriety. It is not always easy but so worth it. Life can be much much better.

                Stick around and share what you want to share, and ask anyone anything you like.

                I wish you all that you need to succeed.

                  I have had good service from Biorecovery and river pharmacy here.

                  I suggest you read the 'seven weeks' book and decide what type of alcoholic drinker you are. They do packs to reduce cost, as do River, but the latter is less comprehensive.

                  All these are not cheap, but it is cheaper than drinking and how much do you value your life ?
