I can do this

Hi everyone!
I'm back here again to work on having an alcohol free life. I don't want to want booze anymore. I had success here a few months ago and I need to try this again!

Tonight will be booze free

Hi Angela! It took me a few times, but I finally got fed up with all the drama, danger, and unpredictable behavior. I finally didn't want to want booze anymore.

It sounds like you're ready to get free from prison. We know you can do it.

Welcome back Angela

You've done the right thing coming back here. Falling down isn't failing, staying down is failing. You'll do it this time.

Big hugs

Thank you everyone! Day two and I feel great! My plan is day by day. If I have a day with 'idle' time I will plan an activity or chore for that time. Tonight, I rode my exercise bike, did some chores and now I'm going to read before having an early bedtime.

I've done some research and am still trying to figure out if there's a program that works for me in my area (and fits with my two job schedule).

I got through today and will think about tomorrows plan, tomorrow.

Thank you for the support!

Welcome back Angela. I've had a lot of stops and starts also. The most important thing is that we never give up. Always remember that there is a better life out there for you without alcohol. You can do it, sounds like you have a good plan. Don't let yourself get to hungry! That makes a big difference for me

As a newbie, I've been asking myself why I feel alcohol is needed in any situation or event? Why is alcohol such a huge part of society? It's poison. I don't understand the need and am trying to use that to my advantage.

Hi Angela

That's very true. Good food for thought!

I like how you sound so positive.

Keep busy, keep focused and keep posting. You'll crack it!
