Well guess i should join another new class, on day 2 but feel like a clean slate on the first of March- St Davids day, feel very uneasy and anxious still but I need to make this a new start, managed nearly four months last time in the september class, which is the longest ive been sober since my teens, its a drain to start again but this latest binge was very destructive and think ive entered into chronic alcoholism when i have that first drink i cant stop, even after that period of sobriety. So need to commit to this to save my life, alcohol has dominated over half of my life (im 33 now) and i want to live instead of exist in an alcoholic haze.

I want to join

My last drink was on February 27th at 7PM. So yesterday was actually my first day sober. So can I join the March class of 2014?

I'm in for sure. No time like the present (I guess that's why it's called "the present"?)

I've been sober since December, but I've been thinking a lot about the narcotics in the bathroom. I can soberly say they haven't been a problem in terms of excessive use, but I have this psychological thing about feeling a need to have them there even if I rarely use them. They are helpful when I get wicked pain and spasms in my back, neck and shoulder (car accident years ago), but I also confess I love the buzz, and I had wicked withdrawals after a summer of opium smoking decades ago, so there is definite risk. I feel anxiety just writing this. So...using them has become inconsistent with my overall recovery. I'm tossing the bottle. Next time I'm tempted to go to the doctor for a prescription I'll spend the money on chiropractic or a massage, instead. Marching on...

All the best, Gran. I didn't have the guts to leave a bottle half empty. If there was a big bottle or a small bottle it still went the same way the only way I could limit it was buying smaller bottles from the cigarette counter and ignoring the knowing smile from the cashier. If it was there it had to be consumed.

Hi, all) I am from class October 2012, and a few days ago I hit my 500 days sobriety milestone.

I would like to welcome all the Marchers 2014 and wish you stay strong and determined on your sobriety road. Never never give up, doesn't matter how loud and convincing your addictive voice can be. It surely can be done - one day at a time.

P.S. I am still struggling with binge eating from time to time and hope March will be great to get over it at last)

Best luck to all!
