Day 6-Thank you everyone
Today is day 6. My record in 8 1/2 years is 2 days. I'm glad I found this place. If it wasn't for everyone's help last night, I would have caved. I wanted to buy "just one" bottle of wine last night, but I know after drinking that, my rationale would have been out the window and I would have went back out for more. Today being Saturday, is particularly going to be rough. I'm usually drinking by noon on Saturdays, and I'm already thinking about it. I can't seem to think about anything else. I'm going to come up with a plan to keep me busy today. I appreciate everyone here.
Hello,
I only have a day myself and could relate to that post. Helps seeing I'm not the only one dealing with this. I was feeling so hopeless and alone even though I know there are others out there who have gained power over their addictions and aren't hurting from Booze or drugs anymore. Even just yesterday morning I felt like I was the only one dealing with what I am. One day at time thought right. Ill be taking it a second at a time later likely. Trying not to let myself think about it and just deal with things as they happen.
take care

It definitely helps to be surrounded by people who know what you're going through. I just found this place yesterday. After pouring my heart out to complete strangers here, I found that it was actually not only myself that I didn't want to let down, but I didn't want to let down anyone here either last night, because believe me, I was fighting the urge to go to the store something fierce last night, but I made through!!!

Awesome! 6 days! Let's make it to a week tomorrow! Stay busy today. I'm going to organize my closets and drawers and go to the gym this evening. A good workout and relaxing in the sauna seems like the best way to beat cravings for me. I'm happy for you and excited we are doing this together. Keep posting!

I'm so glad I found this place. On a normal Saturday, right now at 2pm, I'd be sitting in my pajamas, hair not even brushed yet, with a half bottle of wine or more down already. I took a shower, got dressed in clothes (not lounge pants or pjs), did my hair, and even put some makeup on!!! I'm fighting a VERY strong urge right now, but I'm NOT giving in today. Tomorrow will be a week and I'm not going to mess this up!!!

Thank you!! Today is REALLY bad. I have literally just spent the past two hours trying to come up with an excuse to go buy some booze. I'm obsessed with it right now. This is ridiculous. I am NOT going to do it, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone
