there goes my stash !!

i've just done something i've been trying to do all morning-i've just cleared up all my little "hiding places" and cleared out all the alcohol in them-a cpl of bottles of beer-5 cans of beer-and a full bottle of southern comfort !!

this is just what i had stashed for the times i just "fancied one"-the thing that constantly let me down

the lot of it has just gone down the toilet-the funny thing being that when i was pouring the beer down it actually began to froth-like it was getting a head on it even though i was pouring it into water-all i could think when i was doing it was "why has it took me so long to do this? " i feel a sense of relief now but also one of apprehension-i know now its a step that i've made for the better-it couldnt have got much worse !!


i've drunk pretty much constantly for most of my adult life-and most of my teen years-and seeing as i'm 35 now-i think it's time to put a stop to this thing that's controlling my life-am on day 2 now and have got every intention of getting to my first week-i know it doesnt seem much to some but to me its somewhere i've never been before-hope i can make it !!

You may think it doesn't seem like much to some, but those of us in recovery know it's a lot. I am a recovering meth addict with 2 years clean almost and let me tell you there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about using.

Good luck with your journey!!!

Good job! The first stop might not seem like much, but it is both very important and hard!

i've just come in from a day out with my son-an absoluetly hectic day with loads of activities-i felt a bit crap to begin with-grumpy etc but as soon as i seen him playing in the activity place it made it all worth it-the last time me and him spent some time together without me having a hangover is at least 12 months-i'm drinking coffee again tonight-like last night-and like tomorrow night-i've just put him to bed and promised him we're going to have at least one day a week we can spend like that-just me and him-no work, no pressure, and most of all NO MORE DRINKING-i'm shattered but staying up as long as i can so i get a good sleep when i do go to bed !!
