Back to day one

Back to day one. Uggghhh. So tired of saying "okay, day one". I need the support from you guys. I want this addiction beast out of my life. A bottle of wine a day is no way to live.

It took me a while before making a firm decision to stop drinking.
I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.

You also can find that place.

Good luck.
A nice sober day wished for all,
Bob

Embrace, I've been in your bottle-a-day shoes and no, it's not a way to live. Plenty of people here have had a lot of Day 1's, and many of them ultimately became sober. It took inpatient rehab for me, but that's not for everyone. Aside from the cravings (which can be helped with medication, at least at first), I think the hardest thing about quitting is filling the time when you used to drink. Try lining up some distractions so you won't fall into the "it's 5 o'clock" trap. We're here for you!

We can and will support you, but ultimately you need to make the choice today, for this day... And those days will add up. Commit to today. I found that posting daily really helps... It's what keeps me accountable to my commitment today.. And those days for me have now added up to triple digits. You can do this.
