Red face Greetings

Hello,

Here because once again I've realized that drinking has become a daily companion - like a screaming monkey - that I need to shake off my back ... this time for good.

Wish me success, please!

Ktoday

Day 1

Welcome Ktoday and congratulations on your choice. Have you thought of a plan of attack to quit?

Hi, and welcome! I am in the exact same boat - day 1, ready to try again and make it work this time after a long stint of compulsive, daily drinking. Good thing we're here!

Currently my plan is to just check in here when the cravings get bad and use some of the tools I've read about at places like SMART Recovery ... nothing against AA or 12-step programs - which I know have been lifesavers for many - but I simply can't imagine walking into that sort of environment at this point.

Just taking it day by day - it helps to see that I'm not alone. I'm open to positive suggestions about plans of action. As they say, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired."

Lol, Anna - that's one of my favorite quotes (the dancing in the rain one).
