Day 9 Again.
Hi Everyone
Ive finally joined soberrecovery today. I have been reading posts on here for a few months now and found it a huge help.
Ive just had my first alcohol free Xmas in many, many, many years. I had become a binge drinker. Every problem I had I would run to the shops grab a drink and feel instant calm but then it would lead to another then 4 then 8.... then a week had dissapeared into oblivion. Everytime I had one of these binges I would end up hurting someone I love by being stupid in some way or other or talking the ears off random people on facebook (That damn facebook) so another few days after the binge id be suffering with the things id done. This time last year I didnt think I had a problem because I could stop but this year it has really dawned on me. A few months ago I got to 8 weeks and was so happy then a bailiff knocked I was so stressed and ran to drink
which led to another bender. Then I did nearly 6 weeks but stress within my family I ran to drink and another bender. I like being alcohol free and I really dont like how alcohol changes me into some psycho, crazy Bitch. So I am on day 9 again I feel great and feel strong. I guess this time I need to do things differently because I dont want to give another day of my life to that legal poison. I dont really have anyone to talk to as no one but my partner knows how bad it gets and hes teetotal and he just doesnt understand. I will do anything to just stay happy and sober.
Many Thanks for reading.

Did you find any of the problems that made you run for a drink, went away when you did have booze?
I found booze solved none of my problems and just brought more.
Now I find most problems resolve themselves in the end.
There is never actually any need to have a drink over them xx

Hi! I turn into a psycho when I drink too, my normal personality is really quite friendly and warm, it's weird and I hate it. I'm new in sobriety so I don't have that many tips!
But I can offer a ton of encouragement!!!

It's so good to meet you DarkenedAngels.
Alcohol turned me into someone I barely recognized. It was so good to let go of the foggy numbness and reach out for life again. There's no doubt you can get free of it. Glad to have you with us.

Just saying hello
If I'm understanding how this all works (when i try to send a message) it seems I can't send private messages yet, so I'm just checking in here. How are you? Is there anything we can do to help... albeit from a long distance? I'll be praying for you right now. Have a good day!
