Sign me up! I've committed myself to 30 days of continuous sobriety. My hope is to quit for good but given my track record I'm hesitant to say I can commit to that. My body, mind and spirit desperately need a break from abuse! Hopefully after 30 days I'll be feeling so good that I can continue down this path.
Peace and love!

I also drink in the evenings. Right when I come in the door. So this is hard for me right now. I threw everything out so there is nothing here to temp me. I going to work on my to do list too to keep busy!
Good luck everyone to a successful sober night!

Count me in as well...on day 3. First meeting last night, and am going to another tomorrow. Have to do this. Just wrapping my stubborn noggin around the notion of this being a disease. Anyone else feeling that?
Does it really matter if it's a disease?
I tend to think it doesn't really matter what we call it - disease, addiction, malady...so long as we do something about it
Whatever it is, it kills - it's best to look at the problem keeping that in mind, I think?

Hi everyone. Made it home from work and it wasn't easy to not stop for my bottle of wine. I put on some relaxing music and just kept going. Evenings are hard for me also but I want to get off this merry go round for good I am so sick of drinking all nite and and waking up the next day wondering wtf happened?? Let's all do this! I love this month too....

Last night had some good news. first reaction .. that deserves a bottle of wine. I thought of this group and how much I wanted to succeed. No wine was had so thank you all, you have already made a difference in my life. Got to thinking about my AV, some people have given theirs a name. I have decided that mine is a leech, clinging to my skin like a bloated slug. It grows stronger when I drink. I already feel it shrinking and it makes me feel good to think of it shrivelling up and dropping off. Sorry if that's a bit gory but I am here at my computer having seen the sunrise for the first time in many months. Good luck today everyone x

Morning all! Isn't it lovely to wake up clear headed and feeling good? This is my fourth day and I'm starting to feel better
I've also had night sweats from the booze leaking out of my pours..... ugh so unpleasant!
The weekend is approaching and it's my weekend without my boys which is historically a party weekend..... I've made a plan on how to excuse myself.... I have a knee injury from work and I'm going to tell people that I'm on medication which makes my stomach upset if I drink.... which ironically is true but I've been drinking anyway! **** addiction!

Day 5 for me if I get through today longest run I have had all year and longer tbh. First 2 days I felt exhausted could barely think. Today is better but still not much energy the vivid dreams are not helping waking up more tired than before I go to bed.
One of the reasons I caved last week was the lack of energy lots to do but no strength to do it hopefully I can work through that this time.

That kinda makes sense to me I often have arguments with myself whether to drink or not my sensible side rarely wins these days if it even shows up. Why can I start the day determined not to drink but by the time I get home there's wine in my bag ahhhhhh. Fed up of the constant battle in my head
