Welcome back, Kate. I understand your pain. Moderation never, ever worked for me. Glad to hear that you have decided to stop - why not make it TODAY.

We are here for you and strongly in your corner. Keep posting.

Hang in there.

Just build your momentum and think positive.

I did the same for years, Pushing back the quit date. Ho Monday I'll stop, just this one last weekend. Never worked.

Good luck!

Find and go to a meeting Kate. Get started. The sooner the better; like tonight. You don't have to be sober to go (just don't drive if you aren't). There are meetings everywhere. SR is great but I found having flesh and blood you can see and who see you is invaluable. Others have quit other ways but I'm not sure I could have without AA.

Thank you all for your support.
I have a very obese friend and in my head I think "why can't you just control yourself!? Just stop eating crap and exercise!"
Food for thought (literally?).
I will check in here regularly and take it a day at a time.
Thanks again everyone!

Hi Kate, on a daily basis you make me smile. I read through posts and there you always are, giving encouragement and hugs.

I hope that today is a better day for you and here's one right back atcha

Just noticed your post Karate. Sorry, got lost in the Kate clutter, lol. Yep, gets easier the longer you stay sober and life gets tougher the longer you don't.
