It is my turn to beat you...soberbound!
Hello to all,
I am so happy to have found an online sobriety support group. I have wrecked cars, been kicked out of the Marine Corp, have a failed Rehab stint under my belt,been on anabuse, nearing divorce, and I have tried 'as many have', well over a hundred times since the age of 21 to quit drinking. I started at 12 and I am now 26.
Alcohlism has always won, but something happened last night and I knew that was the last time I could let alcohol control me, or I would lose the last and most important blessing in my life. I can NOT do it alone, I know that. It is also hard for me to get to meetings because I am my sons caretaker and live far away from supportive family.
So that is why I am here...it is day one...I know the most motivating, nothing will stand in my way day...but I will be detoxing alone, and I need this site to look at and remember those 4-7 days of detox are nothing compared to the hurt I did to get in this situation.

Hi Tandi! SR saved me from a lifetime of drinking. When I came crawling in here I was drinking all day, every day. My life was in chaos, and I no longer had any control over what was happening to me.
Once I reached out and began to share here, I didn't feel alone anymore. Everyone understood, no one judged. We're so glad to have you here with us. Those terrible times can be a dim memory one day. You can do this.
