    Im back also ....

    I joined early last year. Not been around for a while. Now in a mess with alcohol. Must have drank 3/4 bottles of wine last night. Normally at least one a day mainly 2.

    I realise that I have got to stop this. I still function ok. I hold down a job as an SAP/IT Specialist and have 2 daughters but this is killing me and I can see it gradually getting worse.

    Anyone need a buddy then please PM me.

    Dont know when I'm going to start. Out with girlfriends tonight for meal etc (goal is to not have wine with meal and just have a few beers). What normally happens is that I have a few beers then think sod it wheres the wine. I;m also out Friday with work for meal. Simlar sort of thing.

        Cheeks, if you've been here before, you probably have the book, supps, cd's???
        Maybe it's time for a refresher course. You need a plan 1st thing. Pick a date to quit for awhile--make it soon. Then quit for awhile, change the "habit" rediscover your triggers. Then decide if you can handle moderation. Keep coming here, you'll get lost of support!

          HI Cheeks

          I agree with what everyone has said and would just add that finding a place to check in daily seems to help a lot of people. There are great threads going which you might want to consider. If you want to moderate, there's a group here. If you're considering a period of AF there are several groups . . . I still follow the monthly abs group for inspiration and tips, but there are others AND you can post to more than one! Again, Welcome. Keep posting, keep reading, this place does work.

            Thanx

            I have just had my wakeup call. I have got to do something. I am sitting here nursing a major black eye. Back of head and arms all bruised. Apparently I was that drunk I fell off a chair in front of my children. Knocked myself out, the kids were panicing not knowing what to do. I was out cold for about an hour.

            We had been out for the afternoon and I had only had a few glasses of wine but as soon as I got home I just felt the need to chuck as much wine down my neck as possible. Which is really stupid as I have got work tomorrow.

            I feel really bad.

              I guess you know when you're going to start stopping now. Don't beat yourself up==(sorry no pun intended) Just drink lots of water and start fresh in the morning.

                Thanks

                Ta - am drinking drinking lots of water.

                I am going to try and not drink until atleast the weekend and i am certainly not going to get in the same state as I have been in this weekend. I worry about withdrawal symptoms as I realy struggle to sleep when I stop drinking.

                I as just as bad the night before.

                Not looking forward to work tomorrow as will feel really rough. Atleast I blacked out at 5.00pm in the evening. So have a bit more recover time.

                Just waffling now.

                Thanks for listening

                    Hi Cheeks

                    Sorry you got hurt, and that your kids got scared today. . . and I can understand the waffling feeling, because if you say you're going to quit tomorrow, what if you dont' . . . but you know what, if you say you're going to and you post it here, and join a bunch of people who will support you in your pledge YOU WILL SUCCEED. The hardest part really is making the decision. Once you do that, you're going to start to feel better, and although you will have hard moments, you'll start feeling so much better about yourself, that it will get easier.

                    Do you have the tapes and any supps? That would be a big help. Also, you are posting on the Mods thread, which is a little quiet right now. I noticed in your first post you said "if anybody is looking for a buddy PM me" - well about 5 new people joined today and posted in "Just starting out" so I think you're likely to find a buddy there. I also think the Monthly Abstinence forum or ODAT (for One Day At a Time) are groups who have folks starting Day 1 every day.

                    I don't want to discourage you from posting here, because we will support you too, but it sounds to me like you might want to get a few Alcohol Free days under your belt, and I'm just mentioning that those threads are totally focussed on that goal.

                    So let us know how you do . . . we're here for you. Try to sleep tonight. I'll say a prayer that you get through work OK tomorrow.
                    God Bless.
