Day 1

I've tried this multiple times but have yet to ever make it more than a couple weeks. Last night was an eye opener for me and feel awful today. So, I'm starting again. I am attempting to do anything I can do to help me stay sober. I look forward to spending time on this site.

Welcome lillypad. What started your drinking after a couple of weeks in the past? Can you do something different this time?

Thanks everyone! In the past - I'd always justify having a drink with something....for example -I think going on dates would be very hard as a single guy that doesn't drink. Going to grab a drink has always been my go to for when asking people out or to do social activities.

Welcome lillypad

Grabbing a drink for just about anything was my way of dealing with things too...but we can change - and the change is great

You'll find an amazing source of support and good ideas here

I'm Day 1 too. After 12 days off, had three nights drinking. Two of which were moderate, last night the monster woke up.

Again and again until this sticks, brushing myself off and re-comitting!

Ha! Sorry Lilypad, I'm such a thread hi-jacker! Way to try to make it about me! You can do this. I follow people here who stop all the time, let's be one of them.
