Well here goes my second day without a drink, im off to see my dr to get help with withdrawal symptoms. Its took me a long time to admit i have no control over my drinking, I used to buy drink thinking i would just have one bottle of beer, i couldnt control it and ended up drinking twelve all done secretly in my own home. Ive been in denial for so long, i dont want this life anymore hiding drink when anyone comes to visit. i just hope i have the strength to keep it up and knock drinking on the head. This is the first time ive actually admitted to myself and put into words how i feel. Im hoping by reading other peoples comments it will give me the courage to stay sober.
Admitting it is half the battle. Great to have you with us - you'll find much support and understanding here

Welcome Hall 65! I am celebrating Day 5 today! I lurked around these Forums for a week or so and then just went for it! I am feeling absolutely wonderful! I can't sleep too well, but once I am up I feel wonderful. I have been to a meeting everyday since Saturday and I look forward to each meeting. I have collected a few phone numbers and a few people have called to check in. I am feeling supported and encouraged. I am not disillusioned though and I realize how sneaky alcohol can be...on Day 2 I dumped all the alcohol in my house! If I feel the need to go to the liquor store, I plan to hol my 24 hour coin in my hand and ask God to lead me in the right direction! Hey, I have been having blackouts every single day for at least this past year...if I can do it, you can! You are in my prayers!! ��

Funny, I thought I was drinking secretly at home - apparently it wasn't as secret as I thought.
