I want to join but am afraid I won't be able to uphold a commitment. I'm scared of the effects of detox! But the sentiment is very much there.

We never shoot our wounded, rogue

Naturally I'm rooting for everyone to get through the month unscathed but you'll find support here, no matter what

3 days & winding down in day 4. I "failed" my last class & have struggled over the last couple of years to "hold on" to sobriety, but I know it's the life I want & am not going to give up. Glad you are all here

I'm having a stab at it, starting today (1st April already here in UK). I am starting on a healthy eating plan and booze doesn't feature anywhere in it.

Nervous, but optimistic. Day by day, week by week, month by month.

I know from previous spells of no drinking (usually enforced by life problems and/or antibiotics!) that I find it difficult staying awake after 7pm, and even more difficult staying asleep after midnight!

Best wishes to everyone

I want to quit so bad, but have been struggling a lot the past couple weeks. I've lurked for awhile here, but have never posted. I told myself I would join the April class and make it happen, so here I am!

I'm in. I'm not quite there, but am down to a bit less than 10% of my level as of a few weeks ago, have a solid plan, and am almost there. I don't think I feel as bad as I would if I had gone cold turkey, but I don't feel good. I've been wavering between feeling barely tolerable to almost ok the last few weeks, but I feel strong in my resolve, and I am confident that I will do this as planned.
I'm getting off a combination of oxy and morphine, and am so grateful that this site exists. I have a couple friends who know what's going on with me, but I don't want to dump on them, and I am otherwise on my own with this, as I've kept my addiction secret. It feels really good to just be able to communicate about this stuff, and not feel judged. Thanks everyone.

I had a beer and glass of wine today. Totally over did it yesterday and didn't want to end up in urgent care due to a panic attack. Today was supposed to be day one, but after "leveling out" it will be tomorrow. AA meeting tomorrow afternoon as well. Will be my second meeting this year. Let's do this guys! We deserve it don't we!?
