I'm ready
Hi all
I joined March 2013 with the desire to stop drinking but without any real conviction. I have bounced back and forth with drinking but since the start of this year it has been every day. It has also mostly been done in secret, which has scared me. I have become totally numb, without emotion, anti-social.
Anyway, I could give a list of incidents from the past year but don't feel that it would be useful.
I am now totally committed to getting sober. I am going to work this with 100% effort. I am starting to work out a plan. I do not need this poison in my life anymore. Yes, I'm scared, but I know I can do this - with the support of all here who had been down this path before me.
I am also excited at the prospect of being free.

Hi Marcher - good to hear from you again and hope you are well - I pop on to the March thread from time to time to lurk and everyone seems to be going from strength to strength. I will come visit soon xx
My plan is to work hard on my sobriety - it is the most important thing to me at the moment - and to be glued to SR of course. That is how I plan to start but I need to work on more supports. My husband is 100% behind me too.

Yay snaggle! Even if you don't write the incidents of the past year here maybe write them down for yourself as a reminder of why you are committing. I forget the pain too soon and then think I'm safe. Coming here is a reminder. Welcome back.

Thanks everyone - just reading round all the threads and gathering tips from others.
I have been keeping a journal of my thoughts for the past while and most entries seem to have the same theme. I feel ****. Why did I do that again? OMG I can't face work. You get the picture.
It has to change. I want my life back!!
