Me, me, me!

I joined at the end of November but have had wine too many days over the last few weeks. And... it was in the afternoon!

Welcome to any and all who are joining up in February. This thread (well the January one in my case) is amazingly helpful!

Will pop in now and again and wish people well if that is OK!

I'd like to join in here please. Been lurking at SR for awhile, it's time to step forward. I'm tired of alcohol running my life.

Hi February friends!
*wave

I spent several hours trying to analyze why I drank again, I don't wan't to repeat any mistakes I made. I know I need to work on my ability to cope with anxiety instead of self-medicating with wine. I stopped with the help of Valium just two months ago but am doing without this time. Soon after the Valium was out of my system I started drinking again. I started right in with 3 glasses and in a few weeks ended up drinking a 750ml bottle of pinot grigio. Time to stop.

I plan on spending time here on the site, daily... reading and posting where I can. My grammar and sentence structure will continue to be a bit off as my thoughts are so scattered now, and typing well on my phone is something I've never mastered. Probably never will but I'm good with that.

Nervous

Hi, I've been a member for a while now and this is my first post. I've been having increasing problems with alcohol and have been coming round to the idea (for a while now) that I need to stop. It's a scary thought though and I know that in itself shows that it is a problem. Thank you for all your posts as they really help. I feel this post is a momentous first step. Thank you for listening.

I'm here too. Day 5 after several weeks and months on and off after a reasonable period of sobriety. Feeling mentally exhausted, despairing and lost all clarity of thought and peace of mind. It just creeps up so slowly and gently until it's overwhelming and in control.

Even just after a few day I've got some peace back and working through some problems.

Part of me is embarrassed at being back at the beginning again but got to start again.

Welcome to all new classmates.
