Ok have started giving up again
I am on my 2nd day and its still the morning. I will have to keep it in the day and go by hr by hr.
This past couple of weeks i found myself drinking daily again, even before work. I ended up drinking so much on thursday that i phoned in sick to work. Now i know things is not good.
I am hoping to find some confidence even how small it is.
Sry i havent been around much, i guess i was in a deep place and never used this place to try and help me which i know u all are brill.
Hope everyone has a good weekend xx

Hey you can do this - use this place - stamp your feet, cry, whatever that's why we are here - to listen and help you through this.
Your here because you don't want to drink and that is huge! That alone is half the battle. Have you got anything planned for today to keep you busy?
Glad you came back

Thanks both xx
Im just sitting here drinking some green tea and got some tv in the background. I don't really have any plans for today, except work this evening.
I will keep checking here for the rest of the morn and afo. Maybe i should have a shower, that might make me feel a bit better.

Hi Erratic.
I also agree that posting, reading and generally hanging around here is a great help. There's so much support and there's always people around.
If you feel like it you could always join in the 24hr club? I've just started and enjoying it. Best to you

Ask the mods to change the title of your post. Get rid of the word and idea of 'again'.
Change it to "Today I quit"
Get rid of any thought of what has happened. Doesn't matter and has no power to affect your actions Today. I had to go minute by minute in the beginning, heck everyone does(that's the way the universe passes time). Just don't give your AV any ammo on the subject. Focus on Now, and the Now that will be tomorrow. You can Do this!
wish you the best (I wrote it, hopefully you read it, so no letting 'again' be an excuse, right? can't unread it)

Thanks guys xxx
I had my nap and i have only got hr or so to go until work.
Husband wants to watch a movie when i come home from work, but unsure if it will trigger me in wanting alcohol, so im just wanting to safe guard myself.
Still havent had my shower yet,could maybe have it after work instead, so i will be fresh for bed. I am working tomorrow morning so least again i will be distracted. Will just have to push onwards in the afternoon though. dam it im getting ahead of myself. *keep it in the day*
Thanks to all u lovely people for helping me today xx
