I'm back, and on day 8.
Hello everyone. Not sure if anyone remembers me, I didn't post too much last time I quit, and then I kinda disappeared. But last year I quit drinking for 5 months (Jan 11 2016 - June 11 2016) .. Then I drank and it spiraled out of control again, almost costing me everything in the process. I'm back now, after quitting on the first of the year and today is Day 8. I'm not sure how much I'll be posting but I figured I would check in at least!

Good for you whicket. I know for me posting is vital to my sobriety. When I feel a little weak in my convictions I come here which is pretty much everyday. I'm not great at helping others like many here but I try and that in return helps me. Maybe give it a try.

Eight days is great, Wicket. Do you have a Plan? I'll post a link to a great SR thread by our Dee in a minute.

Welcome back Wicket. I'm a returning transgressor too. I've been made very welcome on my return.
I intend to post and share as much as I feel I need to. Maybe you could do the same.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. I don't have a "plan" per se, but if I screw up again then I lose my fiancé and soon-to-be-step-daughter.. that's pretty much my motive right now. I really haven't had the time or patience to sit down and think hard about quitting this time. I'm on a "just do it" and "whatever happens, no drinking" frame of mind right now. It's working so far but I know I need to be better prepared. This time has actually been easier than the last time I quit.. Probably because I know I can make it at least 5 months, and I still remember how happy I was with life when sober.

I remember a lot of you from last year and how helpful you all were. I'm sorry I let you down. You guys and gals are awesome. Good to see everyone is still at it. 
Maybe I will post more this time. This time I have the added benefit of being on a newly prescribed anxiety medication, so I'm hoping that will help me in general as I go through this.
