Hey All,

I hope you don't mind if I join your class. I have been a member of March 2016....well since March 2016 (lol) and I have strung together some pretty amazing sober time (and some not to be discounted mental and spiritual growth) but I am back to square one as of this morning. Coming off a month and a half of yo-yoing and ready for the excuses to end. Time to change it up....

3rd time lucky

Hey all, 3rd time this year iv decided it's time to give up alcohol. Really praying this time I stick to my guns. Start of well then slowly start introduce controlled drinking kidding myself I can moderate my drinking. Then I progress to the point where I'm back giving myself alcohol poisoning blackouts and uncontrollable behaviour. Going to stick close to this site this time I normally give in after 2 weeks. Glad there is somewhere for support thanks for reading.

Me too. The benefits are so huge and fast. Let go of the guilt. I am trying to myself.

Guilt and shame. Two emotions I know very well and would be very happy to never feel again. Going to work on proud and happy.

Sober tonight. Moving onto day two. Excited to wake up tomorrow hangover free

Hello everyone, hoping to join your class.
I was just shy of 3 months sober at the end of September and I relapsed for the last 6 weeks, not everyday but at least 10 binges with alcohol. I’m almost at the end of day 2 now and I just want to be permanently sober, I waste money I don’t have and it gets me really down. I know the sober me is inside somewhere and I want him to regain control.

Hang in there ChickChick. And keep trying. I’ve gone various lengths of sobriety and had relapses. It’s frustrating and painful, but don’t give up!

I'm about to go to bed at the end of day 2 myself. It looks like lots of us are on day 2 today - lets all meet back here tomorrow for day 3!

Goodnight everyone - I hope you're all doing alright tonight.

I'm headed to bed too. My favorite sober ritual of a hot bath and moisturizing after always works wonders. I can never figure out how I choose beer over it.

Look forward to spending another sober day with you all tomorrow.

Ooh, that's a good idea. Think I will do that tomorrow night after work. Even go the whole hog and buy some scented candles and bubblebath and a new book.

And a couple of bottles of peach iced tea instead of my usual glass (ahem...bottle) of Merlot

Hi to everyone who just joined!

My drinks of choice while out last night = diet coke, then hot choc at home. My friend had wine but that is totally fine by me (She knows the situation so checked it was ok). We were in a pub after all!!

At work now, better get on with it!!

Here's to another new sober day!

Hey everyone. Off to work . Feeling insanely sick and hot and splitting headache. Feel like bailing on work. Anyone used anything good for nausea. Hope everyone feeling good

Day 3 for me. Had some crazy, intense dreams that felt so real that i could’ve slipped into a parallel universe. I’m away with work until Sunday which is great for me because I never drink when I’m with work. When I return home is my problem, I’m going to analyse where I went wrong last time to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
