Today is day 3 :)

Greetings! I have struggled with addictions since I was about 15 years old and am now 27. I have two DUI's, am facing jail time, lost the love of my life and am living with my parents. I live in the country so AA is hard to attend without a car so Im looking for some online support. I am excited about today because I really think I can do it this time. It has been quite a while since I went 3 days without alcohol.

Best wishes for your recovery Windancer. Let us know how you go. Do you have any strategies worked out for when you really really want to relapse?

Hi, Windancer and congratulations!
I googled aa onine meetings and it pulled up:
AAonline.net & AAonline.org
Maybe one of these can help you until you're able to drive to a meeting.
Keep up the great work!!

Thanks so much everyone! I wasnt expecting so much support. As you all must know my friends and family have had enough and even if I am actually honest about my addiction and drinking they have trouble believing me. Still nothing to drink today. I had a bad craving half an hour ago so I ate something and took some l-glutamine and came on here and feel better now. I have given my money, debit card and visa to my mom so it is harder for me to get alcohol. thankfully I dont live near a bar or something. I still dont trust myself not to steal money or something but I do feel stronger now than I have in awhile. If i get through today that is HUGE for me . Still learning how to work with this site so please have some patience with me!
