Hey I hope it's ok for me to join also!
I'm Emily and I have a problem with Cocaine. I am officially on Day 2 of recovery from this awful drug and intend to abstain for the rest of my life! i need as much support and encouragement as possible and in return I'll give as much as I can to others. Together we can do this

JL2014 I'm sorry you had a bad day, they happen. Tomorrow is a new day, a chance for a new start. You may feel trapped right now, but one day you will realize that you hold the key to free yourself. Drink some water and try and get some rest. I have more than my fair share of day 1s, but I'm not giving up and neither will you!

Welcome to all the newcomers! Strength in numbers
I had a good day today. My AV popped up as it always does in the afternoon, but I played the tape through (out loud) and that shut it up. And because I didn't listen to the lies my AV tells me, I was able to have a great workout, eat leftovers and gingerbread cookies and watch netflix
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Take care!

Had a couple friends over for movie night tonight. My usual routine was to drink a bottle of wine beforehand just to not feel awkward. Like blackbird said, I too have no idea how to be social sober. I guess that's something I'm going to have to figure out. I don't understand why it seems so difficult to just be in the presence of others. Small talk kills me!
Anyway, welcome to all of our newcomers and I hope everybody is having a great night!

Morning class mates, wow, there's a lot of us here. Can everyone see the blackboard ok?
Checking in here on my day 28, I've been keeping busy painting and decorating my kitchen and feeling better for being productive and seeing the fruits of my labours.
Something that occurred to me yesterday after having several of those "man, I could do with a drink" moments, is that over the years I've got confused "thirst" with "fancying a beer". I'm now managing my cravings much better by just drinking water. I've never done that before and my brain has definitely become accustomed to associating the need for hydration to having a drink. I'm hoping that I'll re-wire that part of me as the days and weeks and months unfold.
Best wishes to everyone, as ever I really do appreciate you all, your words of wisdom and the team spirit. It really is up lifting.

Second morning... despair is still hanging around like a bad smell. .. I somehow can't feel anything yet also lurch from wanting to laughter to wanting to cry to wanting to die. My husband still won't talk to me. I am free falling, yet carrying on as normal with the kids.
I read posts here and burst into tears. I don't know if I can succeed in not drinking, but I know everything depends on it, and you guys are my best bet....
We done everyone on every tiny victory, every time u don't pick up its like a snowball. . The strength just gets bigger!
I need you all today very much as i think I would do something stupid else.... thank you all x
