Third times a charm, right?

I am back for the third time. What a roller-coaster ride it has been this year since I last posted. Needless to say, I fell off the waggon and have been drinking heavily for a year. From gaining 40lbs, to my dad getting cancer it has been one hell of a ride. But I need to get better. I need to be sober. I have no where else to turn but here. So I am back for the third and final time. I am done putting my sobriety on the back burner. I am done. I need to get better. Please help me friends.

I don't know if you are in the U.S. - but we are celebrating our Independence Day today.

It's a great day to declare independence from alcohol. You can do it.

"I am done putting my sobriety on the back burner. I am done. I need to get better. Please help me friends."

Keep what I have quoted above at the forefront moving forward.

1. You are DONE. (meaning its over)
2. You need to get better (far stronger statement than wanting to get better)
3. Please help me friends. (we are your friends, we will help, but YOU play the most important role in this, right?)

Keep us posted. Best wishes.

I feel the same way Serenity. Let's do this. I have a newborn son and I'm behaving like a bad mommy. He deserves much better. We deserve much better. Yesterday I was hungover all day and had a few drinks to feel better. Today, I'm done. Going to a family pig roast. Glad I'm feeling okay today. Sick of being sick. Thanks for sharing. You are not alone.

Honestly Serenity, as many times as it takes is a charm.
I started quitting back in 2007 and had long and short success.
It wasn't until 2013 that I started getting it right.

It's a rocky road,but, in the end it's worth it.
Glad you're back.
