Enfin you're doing so great!!! Congrats!!! |
To be successful I am going to need to be diligent and focused. I start out strong then peeter out. Small goals...no drinking of course, but need to post/read comments daily., need to actively figure out how to live/interact/participate in things without drinking. It seems like it should be easy but breaking habits is challenging. It's almost the end of 2015. In 2015 I had 13 blackout episodes. Not great. I want to end 2015 strong and go into 2016 strong. Feeling a little down right now. |
Had some clarity during my Saturday morning run today: I can have alcohol OR I can have EVERYTHING else!! But I can't have both. When put into those terms, it's really not a difficult decision. Love having the clarity from sobriety to have these small epiphanies... |

Hey guys! Just to say merry christmas and please stay strong everyone! We've got your back :) I will go away to a country cottage and I hope to find the serenity and calm that I long for. So I will not check in - I will stay away from internet, from almost everything. And I think it will do me good. I will appriciate the moments with my relatives. But I didn't give up - not on me and not on you! See you soon and big hugs to all of you! |

Canguy, last night after I posted I realized I wished everyone a happy Saturday morning but you were close to Sunday morning - sorry! So I hope you are enjoying a hangover-free Sunday morning (I hope my timezone estimates aren't too far off!) 6.30 a.m. here and so glad I didn't drink yesterday afternoon. Today I'm going to a xmas gather with family. If hungover this morning I wouldn't want to go.....probably have 'a couple' of drinks to cut it before going, drive in a dangerous condition, hate the whole thing, leave early to get back here and back to it, tomorrow rinse and repeat into holiday....... and so on. Wouldn't be back here either. So congrats to Pams, Rah, Faithful and Free for showing up and starting again. Hope you're still around too Badger..... Okay.....time to start the day. Have a good one everybody |
Pams and Rah welcome back, we are here for you :) I've been where you are too. You can do this!! |
Brutal cravings. Stressful day at work ... 2 hours to go then home to hide haha |
Feeling bad that I ended up being in the same place again, overdoing it and having a blackout episode. I am not a responsible drinker. I push the limits. I don't feel well today...hungover, feeling remorse. You would think I would just be able to stop overdoing it. It makes me feel so bad physically and emotionally. Somehow I forget and end up slipping. I have been trying to overcome this for a couple of years now. I guess I never really committed to stopping. After an episode I do but then as time passes I start thinking I can moderate and I do that for a while but then lose it. I really want my life to be better. |

Well I didn't drink, we talked a lot. I am very confused, very sad and full of remorse and shame again... I have really broken my husband and marriage by being an idiot. He is so hurt. .. I still couldn't explain properly how I felt... but it was a start. Maybe ... didn't drink over it.is could see that was not the answer! |
