Bobbi here checking in for another day of sobriety. Pooped. I washed, ironed, and packed clothes for our vacation. Will be going to bed soon, getting up at 4:30am for our 1 hour flight to Vegas.

Deeker, thank you so much for that wonderful post, I'm overwhelmed.
Thank you all for your kindness and support. I couldn't have done it without you all, my sober, cyber family. I love you all.
I found the first post I wrote last year and I've copied it here. It made me very sad to read it but it's made me realise how much life is better without alcohol. I don't want to ever return to that dark place I was in! I've had a lot going on in my life over the last 12 months, not all of it good, but I've managed, I've coped and I've lived to tell the tale. I've grown up at last!
Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

I'm back again
Hi
I'm ashamed to say I need to come back. I've struggled for 2 years and gone for several months without drinking, then I get complacent and hit the wine. I've been really bad I would say for about the last 4 months, secretly drinking at home, mostly at the week ends. I've caused loads of trouble and I am so ashamed. I have a lovely family who don't deserve this and I am desperate to stop. Things came to a head ( again) on Sunday night. After a very stressful day I bought a bottle of wine (3rd one that day) and hid it in the drawer under the bed. I went to bed early and was drinking it out of the bottle (such a classy lady that I am). My partner came up to bed and I had fallen asleep leaving the half empty bottle on the floor. As you can imagine he was horrified and disgusted,
I am disgusted with myself and ashamed of myself. I feel as though I've let every body down, including myself. I sooo want to do this and I know I can. If I can go for months without alcohol I can do it forever, it;s just that I'm feeling a bit insecure at the minute and need some support from people who understand.My partner thinks I prefer a bottle to him and my family, which is not the case at all. I think it is me who I dont care about.
Please help me, I need you right now
I will do this.

About the same thing happened to me 13 days ago Grace but it was a blessing because once husband knew I have had the strength with the help of God to make it to day 13. Praying for you and sign me up for another!

Grace2 - that is a great story. It is not great that it happened, but it illustrates how alcohol turns us into animals making impulsive decisions. I'm sure there are many here who did something similar. Hid alcohol in travel mugs by their bedside or snuck a swig while their spouse wasn't looking. Alcohol is evil for all of us here. Why it chose us to prey upon, we may never know. Thanks for your inspiration.
