    Done

    I've said that so many times...I remember that.

    Yet here I am, trying once more to remember what I said last night. Again. And it's every night, now. The feeling of being horribly embarrassed lasts until the evening, when I get several glasses of wine in me. I know what I need to do, I've done it before. Then I made the mistake of thinking I could moderate.

    I'm not even sure why I'm posting this. I guess it's just that I'm feeling kind of alone, and I know the next few days are going to be very hard.

      Luna, hang in there. You're right that the next couple of days are going to be tough, but if you take it one day at a time you can do it!

      Thank you for posting and letting us know how you are feeling. You are among friends here - and don't ever forget it. Where else could people from all walks of liife and from all over the world come together to share their common battle against alcohol? Remember, we've all been there and done that...

          It was almost a relief when I reached "Done". Every night I would black out. In the morning I would think "well, tonight I'll get it right!" (as in not go overboard). But it just kept getting worse. Now that you have hit "done", things will only get better! We're here for you. Hang on through the tough spots, everyone here will pull you up when you are down.:l

            Yep, river,

            I had to hit "Done, that's it" before I took kicking AL's ass seriously.

            I was "finding solace" in the drink, but losing memory of what I did when I got there.

            I'm thinking of you.

            You can do it. You are stronger than ALcohol.

                    Be done and let it go. Remembering that you can't remember what you said last nite can happen even when you don't drink. However, I've been embarrassed by people saying... "don't you remember we talked about that last nite." or... "you just called" and I had forgotten. Oh well. I'm sticking with the getting old excuse.
                    It's difficult to do these days AF. But you can do it... and you're at the right place.

                      Luna,

                      Stay with us as you get through these rough days. You will get through them and come out the best Luna you can be. The blackouts are (were) all too common with all of us. Put those days behind you - on to a new day!

                        Every night I thought the same thing. Now today I have made it all the way to 1 pm. Lordy mercy. It's a long way to go.

                          Luna,

                          I can remember thinking "I am done with this" when I ~FI N A L L Y~ quite drinking! I was done, period! I was so tired of thinking I could control this. I couldn't. I could not moderate. I cannot drink alcohol like some people can, on a take-it or leave-it basis. I drank until I was drunk. Plain and simple. When I finally admitted that, things began to improve. It was not pleasant in the early days of my sobriety. I felt terrible, but had no one to blame but myself. Lots of hot baths with epsom salts, lots of water with lemon, pleanty of sleep. I ate what I wanted (carbs and sugar) until I got through those early days. You can do it! We are here for support!

                            River's post really resonates with me. That's exactly how it has been for me. I am so grateful that I have that sense of relief (for me it wasn't even "almost," it was just plain "relief")! The awful hellish routine I had been living in was going to be over; and now that it is, I cannot imagine voluntarily putting myself through that ever again.

                            Anyhow, best wishes and GOOD FOR YOU!

                              I can relate totally too. After that last binge just before I joined MWO in April I was so sick and hungover and disgusted with myself but at the same timne there was this realisation that it was done over finito no more. I too felt a sense of relief like this is as far as I go down and I dont care what I have to do but this is OVER . I know its possible to relapse and slip and all that but I cannot think of anything on this planet that could possibly make me go back there.
