Thanks for the support anyway, guys! (Dee, I'm going to repost in the March 2015 group. Hope that's ok!)

Everyone....all my friends.
The thing is Ive been drinking quite a lot over the last few months, cant give any real excuses, apart from I wanted to.
I wanted and needed to get drunk....made me feel pants...so I did it again and again.....then self loathing made me do it again and again.......my brain....which isn't the most stupid on this planet, knows that I am a nicer person sober, but still I continue on this self destruction pattern.
I need to stop this.
Take care peeps x

(((Chuff)))! Not only one day-at-a-time but one minute. I had more day 1's than I can count. I was in despair. I finally did pull myself out with a great deal of help from multiple sources. The best advice I got was from Dee who kept telling me to figure out what else I needed to add. I, too, wanted to drink so strongly but the self-loathing was miserable. All that even though I knew it would kill me to keep on drinking. Stay with us, Chuff, while you figure out what else you need to get and stay sober.

Marcher, what a lovely gift! Time is what we never seem to have enough of and precious time is what you'll be getting :-). You do so much for others and I'm happy to hear that someone is doing something so nice for you.

chuff ~ I hope you look at the link Dee posted. I'm sure you will find it helpful.
Like Sass, like many of us, it took me a very long time to finally get sober. And I relapsed last year at around 19 months. I truly believe that my recovery plan was nowhere near good enough. I hadn't made enough changes, and when things got very tough, I fell in a heap.
Now, well, things are hard. And I am sad. But I reach out for support, and I do my best to look after myself. I can't manage to laugh right now Marcher love, but that's OK.
Both my dad and his sister have pneumonia. They are in different hospitals.
Against all odds, my dad improved today. But my auntie's prognosis is not good.
The hardest thing is going to be telling my dad about this tomorrow.
It is not right to keep it from him. If he is stable and improving, then he will be told. (By me, but I will be telling the medical staff looking after him first).
Love to all of the Marchers. ♥

Mick thank you for telling us. The link Dee gave you is an excellent one, please do go and read it if you haven't already done so.
Have you any structure to your days? What can you remember from past sober times that was in place but isn't in place now? What can you do today to make today better?
None of these questions need to be answered here, though of course do so if you wish, but they might be things to think about?

Oh Gilmer I wish! Today was super-busy even though I had the two girls cleaning, I took on an extra two hours at the Foodbank because three people were sick over the weekend and I was asked if I could do an hour or two today, then we had April's funeral this afternoon.
But I was quite chuffed to see the cleaning that had been done -- skirting boards (base boards?) and doors (the concave bevels) which I rarely get to, venetian blind slats and so on. What I really liked was that two girls in their 30s (who were competent and efficient) were whacked by cleaning two thirds of my house! I'm not nearly as decrepit as I thought I was.
