Y'all, I'm trying to find some kind of focus. I really have no desire to drink. I'm just so disappointed with myself for ever getting so out of control. I can usually moderate my drinking, but only by limiting what I have available. I went out, got completely smashed, blacked out. I'm pretty sure I had alcohol poisoning. I had a serious hangover for 4 days. Now it's just guilt. Anyway, I'm trying to focus on running. I've been a runner for a year and a half. I'm thinking if I focus on training it will help.

You're totally in Gingerspice! Welcome! This place is super helpful, you just have to show up, share and listen. Last time I relapsed, I hadn't been posting or sharing and I started to think that drinking wasn't a bad idea and here I am back at day 1.

I felt many cravings yesterday. Today I have zero cravings... I got a little depressed yesterday. Not really depressed I guess just no motivation. Felt sluggish and bored. Today I feel better... Theres good days and bad days. We just have to ride it out like normal people.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! She picked out a very annoying toy and is now ignoring it for the remote. I'm on the third season, coven. It's silly at parts, but I like ridiculous tv. Keeps my mind off of real problems.

I think I got bored after two seasons. But I did watch stranger things and I loved it.

Are you a stay at home mom? My son is 8 now. I had him when I was 20, pregnant at 19. I'm 28 now and divorced. No other kids

Hi everyone ! Am doing sober October with the hope I can make it permanent - daily drinker (apart from the odd day or 2) for years now. My main worries are missing drinking with friends/my partner and feeling boring/bored. Am determined right now but I know how I can go from determined to oh what the hell in a nano second! So I need to remain on top of this.

Welcome newbies.
Day 3 and starting to feel better again now, had a massive bender on Wednesday night. That's the last one ever!

Hey there Jade, gingerspice, sunshine, catherine, newlight! Great to see you posting! I love coming to really active threads and seeing how we're all figuring out this sober journey.

Just checking in as I go to bed. Had a productive day of work today. Hoping tomorrow's even better cos I won't have so much brain fog. Thoughts are all over the place at the moment-find my mind wandering to thoughts that make me feel crap. A lot of worrying at how out of control I've got and the horrid person I am when I'm drunk. Oh if I could take it all back!! Gotta use them to make me stronger though. They must be useful for something right?!

Jade, I wish I had Netflix, i am dying to see stranger things. I'm not a stay at home, I did that for 3 years though with my first. I have a 7yo boy and a 1 yo girl. They are so awesome, the boy drives me nuts somethimes, but I'm finding that 7 is a really annoying age because he's starting to become his own person. Lol.

Back again

Was here back in 2014 after a drunk car wreck....did well for 6 months but slipped back to my normal habits. Dad passed away last December and it seems I've been drinking hard since then. Got another DUI last night. I need to stop...so today is day 1

I love my son being 8! Except he doesn't do his school work. He hates reading. I love reading and it frustrates me that he doesn't love it too. He is the youngest in his class though so the teacher said its normal for him to have trouble focusing.

Hello Class of October 2016. Almost at 48 hours sober, and hugging my reasons to stay so as they get ready for bed (son 7, daughter 3).

Hope to make it to our class reunion!

Haha, I feel your pain!I have two boys and when they were 7/8 it was pretty trying for me as well. They start to know everything around that age don't they? :-)
