I'm back!
I never really left, I've been lurking a little.
My repeated attempts to quit drinking keep failing.
I am finally dragging myself to my first AA meeting tonight or tomorrow morning when I get out of work. I've been able to go a day or two but in the 2nd or third day every time I find myself, almost against my will in a weird way, walking into a store and buying a beer or two. I've not been drinking more than 4-6 at a time, but it is still frustrating.
Part of my revised recovery plan is to stick with this site more and engage all of you fine people.
Another part is my continued reading and re-reading of books on recovery. Mostly memoirs. I have been filing through the books page here and have a list that should get me through the end of the year.
I'll keep you up to date, but here's to another Day 1. I won't drink TODAY. And tomorrow I'll wake up and try it all over again. I've done 29 and 33 days in the last 6 months, I need to draw on that experience and keep it going. I'll try to post at least something every day!

Sometimes it takes us a while to really get started. You sound ready. I hope the meeting goes well - let us know.

I've been trying for 6 months too.......I get some great spans of time and boom.......I don't what attempt this is but I keep trying. Not sleeping was a trigger I fixed that. Not eating is a trigger......I sometimes force myself to eat. People that upset me are triggers......I got rid of them. Worrying is a trigger......I try to be more responsible. Stress is a trigger......I try not to procrastinate. I'll eventually conquer this and so will you.
