So today I start day one.

[rednose]

Thank you all for your words of encouragement and hope.
I am afraid to fail but I think I am more afraid to keep on drinking. My body is not dealing with alcohol well anymore. My mind is as dull as a butter knife and I am just plain miserable.
But I also know I have been here before and have gotten as much as 18 days AF.
I don't want to fail again. I don't know if I have another failure in me at this point.

So here I go off to the races no Alcohol in the house, Phone numbers to call if I feel like drinking, this site, And I hope to find the inner strength not to go back to the bottle.
The next couple of days are going to be hell I know. I have saturated my body with alcohol over the last 5 months or more so I know there is going to be a price to be paid to get the poison out of my system.

Thank you all in advance for your help and advice.

Good to see you again Rednose...and welcome Trinity!!

Red - I know you can do this...you achieved 18 days before, so you know what to expect the first few days. Get ready for serious discomfort, but it DOES go away...you know it does. Once the fog lifts, it will become easier. Stick close to us...we can help!

Trinity and Rednose you are both lucky to have someone to share this day 1 with. Make this the last day 1 of your lives. You will never regret it.
Mwo is a wonderful, supportive place. Stick close.

Hope you're both managing to stay strong, once today is done you won't ever have to go through day one again!

Edited to add, have a look at what Allankay has to say further down this page on getting to a whole year sober, excellent advice.

Always keep in mind why you are doing this, don't forget where you came from it'll provide motivation.

I'm hanging in there! I;m exhausted and going to bed soon (its 9.30 pm here in the uk) The other half has gone and got himself some beers and asked if i wanted anything but I said no Its torture watching him drink it.... the difference with him is he'll only have a couple. I would drink the whole pack if i started on it. Ive made a hot chocolate instead:bedtime: Im looking forward to waking up with a fresh head
