3rd time...hopefully I can make people proud this time...
Today is my 3rd time (1000th time in my head of saying I will do it) of trying this no beer thing again. It's such a battle. I don't feel bad when I do drink like I said before and never get drunk or anything like that...it's just looking at the issues beer does to the liver over time. Doesn't help at CT scan in March said there was mild fatty liver infilitration.
I think I am going to go to a meeting this time and see what the sponsor thing is all about.
ugh...I wish I was normal like most people and have a drink every once in awhile and that was it.

Be proud for yourself and of yourself.
3rd time... Keep trying and you will find that you end up doing.
Meetings and a sponsor is a good gathering of things that others find work well. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
Good choices.

A temporary sponsor will be able to answer questions for you about the program including what to look for in a primary sponsor and give you some initial guidance until you get a primary sponsor.

thanks so much...
that is great advice about a temp sponsor...have a friend I think who will fit that role I will talk to.
it's good to hear it doesn't too long to reverse something caused over years and years.

Hi there Chronos97,
The title of your thread should read " Hopefully I can make MYSELF proud this time". Do it for yourself first and everything else will fall into place....Remember YOUR worth it....Try out some meetings ....Keep posting

chronos BBQBOY said a mouth full, make your self proud, get sober for yourself, that is what I had to do, was do it for myself, I was scared crapless when I finally knew that if I did not stop I was going to die a slow painful alcoholic death unless I died in an accident.
chronos, just wanted to say i really hope u r proud of yourself, maybe it s the 3 rd time but hey its better than never trying at all,
each time u try u gain a little more understanding of yourself an others, hark at me, i only mannaged 9 days then got obliterated, i did mannage a family party an i was the only sober 1, i made my dad an bro really proud, mum likes it if i fall down so she was just waiting 4 it, but i got thru that, then 3 days later i just lost it, fun day at charity pub do, shud never of gone, but like moth to a flame!
im gonna try jump bk on the wagon, even if its 4 another 9 days it s better than 10 drunken 1s ,
wish u sucess, make yourself proud 1st xxxx

Rach what I have found is to simply take it one day at a time and to use my network when ever I think I am not going to make it that day combined of course with prayer.
I have found by simply making a commitment to the day I am in when ever the urge to drink hits I simply tell myself "Not today, maybe tomorrow!". I have done it one day at a time for 347 days with the help of AA and my HP.

I kept on giving up and wanting to give up alcohol and then one time it worked, I think it was when I realised I did like myself afterall and I was worth living for.
One day at a time, you can do it
One day at a time, you can do it

thinking and thinking and thinking, all is good ..
somethings that I think about are crap too, but that is ok, I have said lots of crap things too
being straight and sober has helped me get better with it all ... hope you keep posting cause the only way I found to sort out my thinking is to share it

HP is a Higher Power then myself, one that is also more powerful then alcohol, a Higher Power of my understanding that I allow to guide me in my life in return my HP has lifted the urge/need to drink from me. The fellowship of AA, & the steps of AA have allowed me to develop a relationship to my HP that grants me a daily reprieve from my alcoholism as long as I stay spiritually fit. Today I am happy, joyous, & free.
