HopePeace

And not a mess with anxiety like I have been in the past I have been here a couple times before hoping to successfully quit and always end up back where I started. Really want to stop this time. These past couple of months I have started to get really sick the next day after heavy drinking, more so than a normal hangover. Don't know if it's because I'm getting old or because I'm overdoing it even more than I used to. Regardless, that's causing even more problems than just my usual anxiety and regretting my actions. Yesterday was day one, Wanted to say hi. Hope everyone is doing well!

Glad you decided to come back HopePeace.

Thanks Dee! I don't have a plans as far as AA or a program are concerned. I am not sure it's right for me. I told myself that if it doesn't stick this time and I find myself back where I started, I'll consider it. My plan is to focus on work, start going to the gym, take up some new hobbies, write in a journal, hang around here and chat with you guys etc. I think I am in a better state of mind about it than I have been in the past so I'm hoping that makes it a little easier!

I hope if you find yourself back where you started, it's not too late. You are not drinking now. So now is the time to consider doing all the things you can do, such as AA, to support that decision to quit. Not when you fall back into drinking.

And I'm not saying you have to go to AA. But you have to do something significant to recover. There are several ways to get sober. And a lot of ways to fail.

Don't keep repeating the ways that lead to failure.

Thanks guys.

How are you doing today?

HopePeace

Hi Delilah, I am doing good today, thank you for asking I went through my deathly ill hangover and anxiety Saturday, the past two days I have been able to relax and take care of myself. Still don't want to drink. Thought of it today a couple times, racked my brain about how I will ever be social without going out and drinking, but that's not even important to me right now. I just really want to be a non-drinker.
