Welcome pinky and doggoluvr87 
Trees - I read back and saw you had big urges yesterday - maybe you need a plan that better deals with that kinda stuff?
Have you tried Urge Surfing at all?

Hi, class. Checking in on evening of Day 5. Good day. Ran some errands. Hit gym hard and treated myself to a new winter coat. Haven't really splurged on myself in awhile, so what the hell. 
Picked up a book, as well. This Naked Mind. Was recommended by a friend and deals with the subject of alcohol and the psychological and physical aspects of drinking. Plan to dive into it this weekend. Off to bed early to binge....on The Wire. Great show. How I overlooked it, I don't know.....oh yeah, I was too hammered to sit through and hour show before passing out.
Good night (or day) to all!

Day 0
I drank tonight, not a lot but I have to clean. Sorry for letting you all down. Tomorrow is back at Day 1 for what feels like the millionth time. Why can't I get this? Why can't I stay stopped? The fear, shame and guilt are almost too much the handle

Straight back to it Saladgirl
Guilt and shame can only be useful if you learn from it.
Forgive yourself but don't give up. It's early days. You CAN do this.
Make yourself a solemn promise to not have that first drink and stick to it no matter what. Come here before you go anywhere near that horrible poison again. We all must help each other.

Hi everyone~ I would like to join this class please. My first class was June 2015. I have joined many classes since then, and I am hopeful this will be my final one
I am on day 4. Yesterday was really hard with cravings and I almost gave in. At 12:45am this morning I was thinking I could get to the corner gas station in about 2 minutes and buy beer and/or wine before the cutoff. I didn't do it though and I was really grateful to wake up sober this morning. Today has been a better day.
Along with not drinking, I am also working on getting my finances in order and eating healthier. Not drinking should help with both of these as I spent way too much on alcohol and after drinking too much, it was harder to control what I ate. So I am looking forward to this being a good year with lots of changes for the better.
I am looking forward to getting to know everyone

Thanks for the support Pinky and Sparkos! That was exactly what I was needing to hear! 😊 I'm unable to sleep, been laying here for hours trying to nod off. This damned insomnia! I'm not looking forward to the night sweats either. But it has to be this way-the other option will destroy me!
