How many times have I started to post
And then erased the whole thing? Too many. So, now here I am. I have been reading posts here for months and desperately want to make that decision to break up with alcohol since it has become such a horrifying dysfunctional relationship. Started day 1 Wednesday, messed up last night, and starting over today. I hope no one will mind if I share bits and pieces of my story as I go along. In light of needing to recover, I know honesty - especially with myself, but with everyone else as well- is paramount.
strawberry! This is a great place to come for support and encouragement.

Hi! Welcome to SR!
You should check out this thread:
http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-part-6-a.html
Its a place where folks come to discuss their goals of maintaining their sobriety at least just for 24 hours and then continuing the pledge. It helped me and Im hoping it helps you too.

Thanks, everybody. I am sure that I will be a regular poster here, and I hope to be able to give support as well as get it... but one day at a time, right? I have read some wonderfully supportive posts here and very little, if any, judgement. SR will be one of my weapons to fight this demon, no doubt. I will go check out the 24 hour Club post now, thank you!

"He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
She said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne..."
I'm hittin' the road tonight, be back tomorrow morn', will fight my damndest to stay away from booze...
Peace!

Welcome to a great place, Strawberryblonde. You don't have to do this alone - you have us. We all know how it feels when you first start out. Congratulations for making this big decision.

We're glad you're here Strawberry. Day 1 is the most difficult but I know you can get through it and continue tomorrow. Take it easy today as much as you can. Large bowls of ice cream help me to fight cravings.
Nothing is impossible!
