Kys

Three and a half beers in, tipped them, to h*ll with this, I've gone to bed!

There's always a reason I allow myself. If I keep doing the same thing nothing will change

Kys

I'd love if I could check in on this thread around this time in 24hrs with anyone who might be around.

I'm here Kys. Up way too early. Good for you getting rid of the alcohol. I am still fighting, but winning a little more often.

“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

Good luck and God Bless

Good Job!!!!! It's a new day!!!!

Kys

Thanks. And great to hear from you Pamel, feel like I'm in a similar boat to you.

Kys

Just feeling tired. So tired.

it was a good call to tip out the beers Kys.
You're right that nothing will change unless you do.

Well done tipping those beers out !! There's always someone on the boards as it's international xxxx

Kys

Not getting there, drank tonight, disregarding everything beyond today/tonight is such a part of my personality. Usually works against me.

I'm seeing my psychologist next week, I used to get stuck in that mindset, I've had immense success in breaking free of it (for the better) when I sought help in the past. I've been few and far between with my visits over the recent year or so, I want to pick it back up, I am absolutely sure there's parts of this I can better manage in seeking that kind of support.

Kys

Thank you for the support guys. Again, going to bed soon. I'll be back tomorrow night.

Today is a new day.

Pamel

Kys, you (and I) can do this. We seem to be on opposite sides of the world, but on the same side of the fence. Each time I drink again it is less, but then I feel good and start the whole stupid "quitting" process over again.

Trying to make it stick this time. Sleep well.

It is hard to move from the thinking only of the immediate to thinking about the consequences - but it's not impossible Kys, just takes a little effort.

If I could do it, you can too

We can change.

Posting here instead of running down to the pub or off-licence might be a start?

Pamel

Dee, are you up ALL the time???? You know, I never read that little block of type (as a graphic type the yellow background is too much!) but such a good quote!!

Kys

Thanks guys. Nicely put Pamel, and I'm drinking less too but it's still a binge for the most part.

I'm in Aus just as an FYI, between timezones it seems like we've got each others back. What's your plans for today and this evening Pamel? And yeah, Dee must be hard-wired in while he sleeps! Incredible

Pamel

To be truthful, my plan, as soon as everyone leaves, is to take a nap and start a "new" day. Company leaving in... 45 mins. Thank goodness, because I have to focus on my recovery.
