I want to stay sober
I am an alcoholic. I have had drinking problem for almost 20 years. I am sick of making an ass of myself, embarrassing myself, hurting my friends and family. It is a vicious cycle and I want it to stop. A friend of mine that has been sober for a year used this site as a tool to stay sober. I have tried AA but I do not think it is for me. I am hoping that thru this site I will learn something from reading other peoples stories and by sharing mine help others and myself. I pray that I will stay sober. I do know what next week will be like but I know I will be sober for today and when tomorrow comes hopefully say the same thing.....I need all the help I can get
Hi sobertimeforme
You'll find a lot of support here - and a lot of ideas.
I hope you find a way, or something, here that speaks to you...look at everything, and then whatever way you decide to go, follow that up with all your might and all your being...if for any reason that doesn't work - start anew with something else...
I think that's the way to do this - it certainly worked for me
We can recover
Here's some links on some recovery programmes for you to look at - it's not comprehensive but it may be a start

Welcome sobertime, Your friend is so right about this site, I to use it for a tool and it has
helped me so much in my recovery. I'm a 30 year drunk and have been sober for a little over 1 year now and i never thought my life could be this GOOD, it can be done. In my earlier recovery I read everthing I could get my hands on about alcoholism, Knowledge help me stay sober, and a good book to read is Under The Influence by Dr James R Milam and Katherine Ketcham, this is a must to read, it will explained why the brain and body no longer processed alcohol correctly.
Good luck on your Journey
