So I made it through so far, not a drink or any coke for 5days. Been here before but I think something has shifted, it's been a bumpy 30 years 😯😯, so here goes, an be gentle with me 😃

Amazing Doris Lovely to hear you've made that shift I was listening to a boxer (Tyson Fury) say that about his battle with alcohol and he ended up making an incredible come back All the best

Glad you are here!

You might want to take a look at the Class of Jan 2019 thread- under Newcomers I think - which has people getting sober this month like you!

Lone wolf I'm not quite Tyson yet, 😜 but I'm making a comeback for sure 😃

Glad to see you, Doris, and to see the 5 days. If you can stay on the path you're on now you never have to do those first five days again. I love seeing people get committed to their sobriety and rebuilding their lives!

Lol Doris, we'd need to do some growing to be like him :p

Lonewolf22

That's amazing Doris what are you finding helps you at the moment or is it just sheer willpower so far? Or distraction etc?

Congrats on day 6 Doris! You may be through the hardest part physical. The emotional journey lays ahead. It is difficult in the beginning. But it is well worth all the hard effort. SR is a great supportive community so I hope you will stick around here.
What can you do this weekend to replace drinking when the urge strikes?

Doris47

Sheer will power 😳😳 I've been a binge drinker since my teenage years, and done most drugs since the age of 16yrs. I've tried AA wasn't for me unfortunately. So I'm going solo 😳😳😳 but as I've Saud something has shifted inside an I'm ready 😀 it's gonna be a hard hard road to go down but,I have you lot 😃

Lonewolf22

It is indeed tricky but I think once you get over a few hurdles you will grow in confidence
Can you put your hands on my head and transfer some of that shift in me haha I need a hot iron rod up my bum :p
Sounds like you have a pretty cool family around you too?

I do not think you are going solo. I have 77 days sober today and would not have made it this far without SR.

Someone else suggested joining the January class. I think that is a great idea. I joined the November class and post every day. It has been extreamly helpful.

When you get a craving always post to SR first.

Doris47

Lone wolf unfortunately no, I have no family around me apart from my son he's 12😀. All my family live miles away. Pass me a rod 😜. As long as I stay away from alcohol, the drugs don't bother me, if that makes sense, it goes hand in hand, have a beer get a gram etc etc then it snowballs outta control, I don't stop till either I pass out, the money's gone or the shops are closed, I'm a hazard to my self, with no off button 😳😳 so I have to not drink today 😀 x

Doris47

R2quit that's amazing 77 days 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Yeah that's my intention, when the thoufhts hit I'm coming on here x
