excuses, excuses, excuses!
I am litlery sitting here in the lounge going through excuses on what to eat and drink so I can start tomorrow! these are just examples of today....
Same thing happens everytime.....things like starting tomorrow, it will take me up end of March - my 28 day plan.
Or I ruined dinner last night and want to try again and have a nice bottle of wine with it! (of course the Vodka and beers are on the table )
If I go to my wife with these idea's she will go get alcohol!!
So i am trying to sit here and not say anything.
Crazy excuses! Any Advice ???

Don't ask your wife to go and get any. Like I said on another thread, impress on her how important it is that you want to change your ways.

Number of times I've woken up wishing I were deathly hungover and weighted down with the overwhelming burden of shame and guilt?
ZERO
Number of times I've woken with a pounding headache, full-body nausea, bleary confusion, shame, guilt, fear, uncertainty, anxiety, panic, frustration, vomit, disaster?
Countless. Literally. Countless.
Number of times I want that to happen ever again?
NEVER. NEVER EVER.
It's a pretty simple equation.
Here's to you waking up sober today.

Yep. Sometimes i sit through it, see the rubbish for what it is, set my jaw and sit it the hell out!
Sometimes it boils down to that.
I am lucky i guess. I have done the 'lost everything' stuff. It can and will happen IF you are an alcoholic AND keep drinking.
Next thing it takes from me is my life. And my God and I have other plans.....

In my days of slipping and sliding I was great at procrastination. Unfortunately I kept pouring down alcohol instead of being disciplined and doing what I needed to do, just surrender and not pick up the first drink. Some of us need detox and rehab, others need a program like AA to learn and practice the discipline of not drinking and long term sobriety without the buts. Believe me/us, drinking will never get better than it is now and just about guarantee it will get far worse , if we live.
