Hey Pink. Glad you are still here. :-)

It's a grey day like my mood today but I just got to stay focus and post on here.

For some reason this is even harder to to stop this time as I haven't been drinking for two months. It's been ten days and my AV says that I can still drink a bit more.

This is something I have never done before. It's hard

Morning all, so good to see you back Knb Ive missed your posts, keep going- one day at a time is the main thing I have to cling to. Totally relate to the whole ex thing its been a huge trigger for me- we get hurt so we hurt ourselves more to get back at them its self abuse really. Keep close and keep posting- you've got a whole team of supporters here on your side no matter what.

It sure does Dee. Every hour feels like a day. But I just need to persevere.

I feel so down today. Alcohol definitely makes me sadder.

Thanks determined. I am glad I came back so quickly. I am scared and very wobbly but one day at a time

Hi Istepup. I just got to stop finding my excuses to drink. Not even my ex was worth drinking like the way I did for ten days. There is no way I can moderate. No way.

I tried to quit for three days and wanted to post but I couldn't find my willpower on the forth day to stay sober.

But I knew yesterday that I cant keep living like this. I have missed my running. And I spent stupid stupid money on takeaways

By tomorrow I will feel mentally better...by Thursday I will be running again. By Sunday I will do a run first thing in the morning.

This is what I am saying to myself. I want this life back.

And just want to remind those who still think about drinking? NOT WORTH IT!!!

Fine if you can have a couple of glasses and then stop the next day. But none of us are capable of this. I drink, then drink the next day, then the next, then the next. my poor body is freaking out form the amount of alcohol I have poured down my throat.

I feel so blasted ILL right now.My whole body hurts and I am struggling to go to work today. I feel like going home and sleeping. What a flipping waste of life. My stomach hurts, my neck is sore. My face is bloated again. Got bags under my eyes. I don't like looking at myself right now.

Rant over

Have a good day today. I guess your work will be very busy with the stuff going on this morning.
I could have written this, except for the eating - - I would eat greasy junk food when really hungover. I would be cold, shaking, and eating fast food high calorie junk. I thought that helped sooth the stomach?!?!?!?

My spirit died temporarily.

So why did I drink? Because I just felt like it. No screaming AV that day. No thinking I could moderate as I know I can't. I just said Fcuk it and drank.

It's so hard to stop when you start. I have missed you guys :-/
knb, so happy you are back! STICK WITH US ! ! !

Hey Scooter. Me too.. But gosh the thought of being sober for a whole week scares me?! I cant believe I managed over 40 days before...

One day at a time is all I can focus on right now.
