I am tired of this cycle. I am ready to change. I am tired of the poison.

Hey Tonya, the great news is that you've found a powerful resource here....what an awesome first step! I'm just on my 13th day into this, but felt just like you on October 1st. I'm a little hesitant to give advise because I'm such a newbie, on the other hand I have just been exactly where you are. The most basic thing I did was to look at my points of highest vulnerability during the day. During the work week it is from about two in the afternoon until I leave work. I'm getting hungry by then and anticipating my (former) daily six pack for the evening. I now take a protein shake with me and drink sometime before leaving work. That helps me get home. I then focus on dinner and any homework etc. with the kids. Weekends are a little tougher. I get up and work out but currently don't take my wallet with me because my vulnerable time was on drive home from gym because I generally bought beer for the day then. If I run errands later in day I try to not go alone for fear of picking up a six pack. On Thursday some of the more experienced folks on SR are kind enough to start a weekend thread designed to keep us engaged. Take part in that. Post and read here a lot. Sorry so wordy. In a nutshell, think of your most vulnerable times and come up with a plan now to address them. I'm still in that mode and taking it one day at a time...Good luck...I'm rooting for you.

The perfect place to start. You're in the right place. Spend as much time here as you can, reading and posting your progress. Dump any remaining alcohol and just hang out with us. Welcome!
