Seems like a lot of people in our class are struggling today. Just remember, we don't have to quit forever, just today. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Sending positive energy to this class. Love you all!!

Yesterday was my birthday, and as I start the last year of the first half-century of my life, I would also like to renew my commitment to abstain from drinking. So here I am with a new day 1 - March 14, 2016. Will be reading previous posts to get to know everyone so for now I will just say Hi dde04

Crazy stuff! I don't have any tattoos either.

Just a reminder that you are the most important person in the world. Hubby's, kids, employers, everyone is #2 at best.
Just like if the oxygen comes down in a plane. You put the O2 on yourself before anyone else.
Taking are of numbero uno puts you in a position where you can offer MORE to those who need you.
Ya'll are doing great. Keep up the good fight and QUIT ON!

Hi everyone,
Back on Day 1
I am heading to an AA meeting in an hour and am going to force myself to share and ask for a sponsor. This thing is so much bigger than me and what I have been doing, or not doing, isn't working. I am SO tired of this roller coaster. I just want to cry. I am so happy when I have had some sober time yet I keep falling backwards. It's like something takes over me and I have no control. I've got to get this right and be done with Day 1's.

LB good luck at your meeting!!
I agree when you said this thing is so much bigger....I'm worried if I mess up a couple more times I will have to be straight with myself and pursue another step like outpatient treatment. I'm not there yet, I just mean...at a certain point it becomes life and death. Right now that is scaring me straight. I - we - need to be here for our babies.
Was it the emptier house that did it? Next time maybe purposely fill that - head to the movies or an exercise class or painting class for the evening. These are the backup ideas in my head. I think we have similar triggers. Hubby is gone for four days right now!!
Let us know how the meeting/sponsor search goes.
