Think im finally ready - day 1 again

So today is my first day where i didnt wake up and automatically crack open a beer. I havent been on here in a long time and really missed it. I found myself reading alot of posts and relating so much to them. The past year has been nuts. Ive ruined my last relationship with my ex, lost my son, lost my job, went to rehab and then got out and got a DUI. I realized last night on my last beer that this life sucks and i want more for myself. Im already sweating and having withdrawal symptoms. I need a change and i miss being healthy. Thankfully i have someone here with me who fully supports my choice and is here...will post more later. thanks for listening

welcome back Melissa

I'm glad you have someone there, but if you're concerned about your health at all, do see a doctor, ok?

Hi sweetmelissa. Glad to see you are determined to get well again.

I was drinking 'round the clock when I came here. I couldn't believe I was so dependent on it - it totally ran my life in the end. I had to give up the fantasy that I would ever have any control. I was exhausting to be a drunk. Being free is so much better! You can do it!

Welcome home, you can do this, I'm praying for strength for both of us. Have you considered AA?
