Wow the week went by really pretty quick after the first 3 days of agony.
I want to thank you all for the continued support and words of encouragement.
[B]Don't quit trying to quit no matter how many day ones you have. I have had so many day ones I have stopped trying to keep count.

I posted the below in a post dated 2/5/17. I was scared and so sick of drinking. But today I have hope.


I cant ouit drinking to save my life.
Some of you on here have seen me try to quit only to fail.
Alcohol is quite honestly killing me and I cant put it down.
I have gone to rehab in 2010 and it did not stick. I have had so many first days I can no longer keep track.
I am sick to death of starting and failing.
Please I am not looking for anyone to feel sorry for me.

I can't afford rehab again. Insurance does not cover it.

I just had to type this out so I could look at it.

Feeling hopeless and defeated.

I'm with you 100%. One day at a time man. Rome wasn't built in a day. Don't drink. Don't start over. Slow and steady!

Now you know that you can do it, physically, and the worst of the withdrawal is done, and you never have to do it again if you don't want to.

On to week 2!!!
That's awesome.

The only way to fail, is to stop trying.
And clearly you are not only trying, but doing very well.
Keep up the good work. You are on your way my friend.

Great job on one week! Now just add those days one at a time. Keeping reading and posting here. You can do it!

Definitely hold on to that "one day at a time" mentality. Counting days and reaching milestones is all well and good, but means nothing if you don't value every moment of the journey.

Congratulations on one week! Great milestone! Keep it up, one day, one hour, one minute at a time. You can do this.

Just checking in and reading other threads. I am starting day 10 today.
Alcohol is a wicked foe and I have realized that I can’t beat alcohol on alcohols terms.
It is like thinking I can step into the ring with Muhammad Ali and expecting to win the fight.
The only way I can beat alcohol is by not engaging it. So I choose not to drink and lose the battle.
