Luck!
Hi, I was last here 6 years ago, didn't attempt sobriety then!
My drinking has slowly increased, surprise, surprise!!
Life enjoyment decreased.
Seems the only thing I "SEEM" to enjoy is alcohol.
Parts of my life and health are suffering.
Feeling ashamed.
It's time.
Wish me luck....day 1

I hope this time you'll fully utilize the resources and support found here to help you get sober for good. 
I got, and have stayed, sober using SR as part of my recovery plan. I hope you'll do the same.

The good news is that there is a solution and a peaceful, content sober life is possible. Welcome back 🙏

Was a pretty rough day yesterday, elevated anxiety.
Equally tough night, sweats and insomnia.
Was going to take the day off work today, but felt half reasonable so decided to go, glad I did.
Day 2

JCat - So good to see you. You sound ready to do this. I had many false starts, but in the end I was disgusted & exhausted from the drinking life I tried to maintain.
As you said, 'It's time'. There's no doubt you can do this. Congratulations on your Day 2. Things are about to get so much better.

Keep in touch.

Well done with 7 months! The future sounds promising...
