I know I've already stated my plans, but I want to wish all the new ones here success. I have felt like crap the last few days. Doing a little better today but still disgusted with myself. Better times are on the way.

Day three of sobriety. Feeling pretty good. My mind and body have mostly recovered from the insanity that was last weekend. I feel ready to exercising again, and plan on starting tomorrow morning. Felt a twinge of temptation at the grocery store when I walked past the booze, but it was easy to ignore. I just thought about how I made the commitment to myself to check in here everyday for a while, and didn't want to come back on my second night as a member and tell people that I already slipped. With the wife working a night shift, it would've been easy. But waking up without a hangover is pretty nice.
I hope everyone else is doing well. And If not, don't beat yourself up too much about it. We will get over the hump and eventually leave this in our past, until it is only a distant memory.

I've been following everyone's progress on here and I want to be part of this class, everyone is so supportive and non judgemental. I'm on day 1 (again). I'm hungover and feeling awful but all I can really do is say that I won't drink today.

Tiredwoman- we're all here with you. I never knew a lot of stuff until I came to this site. My cardiologist would talk to me but until I read stuff here, I really didn't understand. There are other people that are going through the exact same thing. I have learned that here. Keep posting and stay around.

JohnDoe- I'm going to ramble a little here. I have been hungover for 4 days. I already have my excuses in place for drinking the week after Christmas with my daughter's marriage. I know it's not an excuse, but looking at reality. Reality tells me that stubborness will set in on December 31st. I think my life expectancy is not long if I don't stop then. I saw on my cardiologist screen the last time that I was there that I had alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Wow. I have been blessed in my life. I hope to be blessed until December 31 and then I can beat this crap.

Hi Bob I really hope you reconsider and don;t allow your addiction any quarter. It's already stolen so many years from you - why let it steal even one more day, let alone another week?
You're going to have to draw a line in the sand sometime.
It's going to be hard whenever you do it. but the longer you leave it the harder it will get.
You'll have support - my advice is do it now , not later
Don't let fear dictate your actions - you dictate your actions.

Dee, I love your support and knowledge. I have felt like crap and understand what you're saying. I just know me and what's coming up. I'm just trying to be realistic. I also know I'm just putting it off, but at least I know now that my line in the sand is when I get back on the 31st. I'm all December group or I'd wait. I love the December group.
