A year later... and still

Its been awhile since I last came on. Within the year or trying to stop drinking and being bulimic, I was divorced and my mom passed away. I also found a new love (which helped stop the drinking and bulimia) until my mom pased and my old tricks were back, this time worse. The pint of vodka was now turning into a pint and a few beers or more vodka. I woke up this morning sick all over and came forward and was 100% honest with my partner. She was so understanding and kind. I am blessed. This is time, NOW! I am ready. I'm scared of the next few days, but I know I can do this!

My plan is to stop drinking and remove all beverages from the house. My partner and I are doing it together. We just went swimming for a lil bit and are planning on heading to a meeting tonight. She is not a heavy drinker but wants to stop to support me. Each day I will take it one step at a time. Tomorrow will be my first real challenge as I leave work, my normal "pit stop" is no longer an option. Thank you!

Thank you! I am ready. I want to start a family and give it my all. I cannot do anything like that if I am self destructing myself and making excuses. I have to better me before I anything else.

Needtostop so glad you are back, it's great that your partner is supporting you.
SR .and AA are keeping me sober and happy.

I think in my second year of sobriety I have stepped up my program and visit this site more often because I don't ever want to lose what I have gained.

Keep reading and posting it will get better.

Love
CaiHong

Hey need, glad you're back!! I know we haven't met yet, but I just recently came back from a relapse and am happy to be here. Like you, I have a great boyfriend who's been very supportive as well as my friends, and people here. You CAN do this!! My very best to you. You enjoy to be happy, I hope it begins soon for you.
