Enough is enough now
Hi all, posted a while back and have failed spectacularly. I really need to conquer this once and for all. After another long bout of drinking every night, one to two bottles of wine, I am ready for this now. I cant believe I dont have any ( that I know of) serious health issues. I feel old, tired, overweight, useless, worthless, guilty, ashamed all of the time. Those are too many things to deal with and so very exhausting to carry around with me. I want to feel free and happy. And so, today is another day 1. I am looking forward to a peaceful evening without the chaos in my head. Wish me luck and I will check back in tommorow.

Yes Dee. I know my trigger point for a start. I have known it for a long time now but chose to ignore that knowledge. I am starting with that and hopefully formulating other stratagies as I continue forward. The silly this is, I never suffer withdrawal symptons. With me its more 'habit' . I guess I should find it much easier than people who have physical withdrawals. I am just focusing on today for today.

Hi summerbee ☀ 🐝
Glad to have you back! Im back on day 2 after 3 months of sobriety.
Everything you said you felt, I feel it too!
But let's forget about the past and look forward to a sober, happy, healthy future! 😁
Stay strong and focused! Can you pick up a new hobbie? Or focus on one you have already...
You can do this... We can all do it!
Good luck sb. X

People posting on this forum have succeeded, are learning, or both. Those who fail spectacularly are never heard from again.
You are heard from, SummerBee. I am hearing you loud and clear.
Welcome Back.
Get on it.
Stay on it.
You can do this.

Welcome.
I'm new here too and new to sobriety (well, a chronic relapser). One of the things I've noticed immediately is how my mental state is starting to improve in terms of awareness with regards to how I'm feeling and trying to "catch" it before it gets out of hand as that usually leads me to drinking.
My experience is granted, limited, but something helping me is changing my routine. I was an evening drinker, then a round-the-clock drinker, then back to an evening drinker when I got my new job. I've been going to meetings in the evening, walking the long way home and having a plan each evening rather than feeling aimless which tends to lead to drinking thoughts.
I'm glad you are here.
