Thumbs up Giving it another shot.

Well, I sat in the barber's chair and got a haircut, that's for sure.

Recently I made a tit of myself, (friday night), and really hurt my girlfriend a lot.

I then had a lengthy chat with her, and I decided that it was time to face the biggest fear of all.

Sobreity... again. But this time, it's my choice.

I have a great life here at the moment, a house, a job which I start TOMORROW! and a couple of motorcycles that I can't ride till 2011... but hey, I can look at 'em.

So... On day 2 right now...
Worried about the future, but hopefully, being employed...finally...will help a lot!

I'm back on the bandwagon, hi you guys.

Thanks everyone... much appreciated... while I was at work today I caught myself thinking... yeah, yeah, I'll be drinking again in a few months probably, anyway... I don't feel so Gung- Ho this time, but I rekon that's more of a wet reality fish to the face, than last time, where I KNEW I'd never drink again, (on that pink cloud... hahah)....

So yeah, pretty much just one day at a time, this time.
And I'll tell you, the job REALLY helps.

Thanks for the welcome back you guys... this is a cool place!

Hi,
I don't know you from before, but welcome back.
I came here after 15 months of sobriety followed by a 4 months bender, so I do know what you mean with no pink cloud this time. I felt defeated, almost knew that it would only be a matter of time. Still, it's been 100 days + and every time I thought I had an excuse (Christmas, New Year, etc.) I just didn't, it wasn't difficult, it wasn't easy, it was just......well fact.
I didn't drink and I haven't regretted those decisions for a moment.
You will find your way too. You have already started. Congrats on the job.
Keep going.
