It's been along time since ive posted here but I need to really stop drinking . Recently I started a new job and was doing really good before I started the job I quit drinking and smoking for 3 weeks . Then a week in of course slow but surely I started smoking again and then drinking on Fridays for about 3 months then it started happening during the week . This past week I drank every single day...and last night I drank way to much that I had to call out today how selfish of me. So today was just a miserable and depressing day. I have to come up with a good plan and stick to it.

I already emptied all the alcohol in the house which is a start. I know what I have to do its just taking action and doing it. Just one day at a time . Ive never drank this much before and I can see how progressively bad it can get even though I feel like complete crap today and all week I still think about drinking I cant take it anymore.

Congratulations on a great start! I've been where you are too many times to count. Tomorrow is another day to start fresh. I've found my monthly class on SR to be very supportive and motivating. I highly recommend joining the March 2016 and checking in daily for support. Do you have a plan in place?

Well coming on here everyday is part of my plan. Drinking enough water and not being hungry. Giving everything I do 100% . Getting enough rest as possible and staying busy

Hi FYMS - welcome back
I'll be honest I think you need a better plan than this

You've been at this a long time and the problems getting worse - I think you need to consider throwing more at it?

You may have to reconsider things, various outside help, that you've dismissed in the past.

There are some good ideas on plans here:

Yes I need to make a better plan . And actually stick to it . Im young at 24 with a good head on my shoulders and a good future so far in the makings but I still seem to just screw up with the drinking. Especially this past week drinking everyday ive never done that before and it scares me for what things could be like if I dont stop now. And missing work today because I drank way to much and when I woke up I was still drink . Not to happy with my self but all I can do is move foward right .

Question? Has dumping the alcohol and telling yourself that you have to quit ever worked in the past?

If not you may wish to look at options outside of your comfort zone

I agree that a good plan will be very helpful. You've gotten lots of good advice here, so I hope that you do decide to live a sober life.

Welcome back! I agree with everyone that a plan is critical. I am getting really close to 90 days, and it is because I have stuck with my plan this time. You are still very young, and smart to get sober at 24, I wish I had.

I hope you are feeling better tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing you on SR!
