Hi class just a quick update. I'm doing a lot better have thrown myself into AA and am giving it my all, going to daily meeting s etc and so far it is helping me to feel more positive than I h ave for a very long time, I know it's early days but I feel like I've got some hope back. Hope you are all doing good.

Hi Peace, I've never thought of doing AA but I'm really not doing well at the moment so it might be something to think about. It's getting quite close to the time that would have been my anniversary - Nov 17th - and I'm very aware of how far I am at the moment from even getting back on the wagon never mind managing a year on it. Drinking now despite the fact that it's Sunday night and I'm working tomorrow and have to drive there. A few months ago I really, really thought I'd left all this behind. It's really hard to find the strength to get back on the bike. Any thoughts out there, Nov 14s?

As it turns out, GHD - and thank you for your concern, it's something that's such a feature of this site - I've just got up, Monday morning, not in a fit state to drive but not much choice in the matter but I have just poured the rest of the wine in the house down the sink. Looks like this is Day 1 of Forever. Here goes.

Hi class, how are you doing Pixie? I've got to admit that I didn't want to go to AA either but after really really trying for years and years and getting seriously scared that I'd never stop I decided to give it another go. So far it is helping immensely,it's early days but is keeping me sober. I had to accept that I needed outside help. I was scared I'd be recognised or that it will somehow "get out" that I go to AA but I'm now way less bothered if that does happen as sobriety is the most important thing and basically I'm willing to do whatever it makes to get there. If you are struggling I'd say give it a go and a chance, don't just go to one meeting and think this isn't for me, try lots.

Back to work tomorrow. Will have 9 months' sobriety on Wednesday.

Anyway, just checking in to report a successful Day 1. I'm actually looking forward to the days to come. Fight on!
