Hi-
Hey everybody,
Thanks for letting me register, I didn't know there was such a wonderful supportive site. I have been relapsing on and off for the last two years after being clean and sober for 2, then 10 years. I know how wonderful long term sobriety can be, I also know in the last six months I've been at death's door multiple times. I am beaten and sick and tired. And still my diseased thinking gets me drunk. I have 5 days today and each day I'm eating a little more, trying to take the vitamins and drink the water. I want to get better but sometimes I just cannot talk myself out of the stupid and bad decisions that I make when I"m alone. I need support. I've managed to chase away most of my friends and family and am divorced. I'm struggling. Thank you for letting me share. I don't want to lose more than I've lost. I want to one day be able to help others again too, I remember what that was like. But right now, it's me that can admit I need help.

Hi, Tiffany, and welcome. Try to stay on the sobriety bus. One day, one hour, one minute at a time. It is so worth it. There are informational stickies at the top of the main menu. One of them, posted by Dee (the wise) is about having a recovery plan. Check it out. You might also consider joining the December or January class that is specific to folks who have decided to quit. Here when you need us. Peace.

Hi Tiffanyeagle! Congratulations on 5 days! Having been sober for much, much longer periods, you might feel like 5 days is nothing to celebrate, but it really is. Before I quit, I had never put together a 5 day period of sobriety. That's a great start. Plus, you've joined this community, so it seems to me that you're doing a lot right. Keep it up! Smile. Know that you've taken some great initial steps. Happy Holidays!
You'll find lots of support here.
