Day 1

Today I'm committing to being sober. I'm plan to keep a diary of my thoughts, relationship situation and goals so I can measure progress.

I did 2.5 years, the plan fell down because I convinced myself that alcohol wouldn't be such a bad thing. This was against all the common sense I'd been employing in my sobriety stint.

I'm not even classing that time as full sobriety. I was eating vast quantities of junk food daily to compensate for booze not being there. That's not the answer either because I'm overweight now.

It's all addiction, I'm disappointed in myself for caving. I'm going to make an appointment with my Gp and ask for help.

Thank you for your continued support everyone. Better to be on lifes path sober than to be stumbling over the rocks and weeds at the side of it not knowing your fate

That 2.5 years you did shows you that life without booze is possible.

I understand the compensatory addiction of junk food. Don't get too down on yourself over that.

Or over relapse and deciding to let alcohol back in your life. That happens and when it does it teaches us.

So happy Day 1.

I'm proud of your choice to stop drinking... now back that choice up with a choice to embrace sobriety and act on it!!

You can do it.

Stewy what I wouldn't give to have been sober the last 30 months. I hope you get started on a healthy new life soon.

Make this one count, Stewy. Put your mind to it, make it happen.
