Checking in for August 2019!!! Tomorrow is the last day of the month and my two week mark! I have also been attending meetings every day, got a temp sponsor and am starting Step 1 tomorrow! So excited! Next stop, one month!!!! |
Think I’m in!! It’s only been 4 days and I really feel like giving up the urge to drink is strong but I’m not letting go at the moment hoping to push through the day because I’m pretty tired of the lifestyle and bad decisions and I know sobriety is the only way out |
Welcome NicLin and Nichole :) D |

Welcoming all the August 2019 class members! |
Welcome to all August 2019 class members! I'm an alumni of the August 2009 class, so I guess this is sort of my 10 year reunion. Being a member of that class changed my life, and I now have 9+ years sober. You can do it too! |
Good Morning to all of the August 2019 members! The month has just begun and posting here really helps to unite the Class. Hope everyone has a great Friday. Good to see you, Zebra!:wavey: |

Checking in for Day 17 done! I actually had to move my "birthday" a day back because I didn't realize that the FIRST day sober was the day, not the last drink day. Whoops! Any who, each day moving on from here is the LONGEST I HAVE BEEN SOBER SINCE AGE 17!!! So go me! And thanks for the support! |
Yes, "GO,YOU",NICLIN! You are doing great! Hope you have a terrific day!:shine8pl: |
Hi, I'm back to day 1 again. Messed up over the past few weeks. |
Welcome longlady :) D |
Glad you are back, Longlady. Have you got a plan to get you through the rough times? This journey as all about learning what works and what does not help us to stay on course. "Mess ups" are just that! We are here for you! Hope you are having a good day!:) |
I'm in. Again. I had 4 days last week then had a weekend with my sister. I was determined not to drink but did. I just cant go away from home so early on. I have to stay in my home environment to stay sober at least in the early weeks. I've made this mistake so many many times and feel so terribly weak. |
welcome RAL :) D |
Time for a Permanent Change Hi! Hoping to join this class. I’ve been struggling for such a long time and want to change. I’ve tried to moderate for years now and do well for a bit but then go overboard and have blackout times where I act like a different person...so embarrassing. I had gastric bypass 10 years ago and have struggled ever since. Since 2017 I’ve gained back 30 pounds of the weight I lost. Old habits and the cycle of drinking has taken a toll on me. I’m getting my earring under control by following post gastric bypass diet instructions. I am thinking about going for counseling. There’s lots of things I’m struggling with...I just started a new demanding stressful job two months ago, moved cross country for it, my sister dies of lung cancer two weeks ago. I drink to relax and escape. And once I start I have trouble stopping. I just keep going and going. It’s realky unhealthy. My husband is my partner in crime and has been quite patient and understanding but I feel like it’s just got to be addressed. Since my husband and I drink together it will be challenging but I am committed. I’m disgusted with myself and feel like a bad person. |
Welcome back and welcome to the thread RAH :) D |
Checking in for Day 17 done!!! Feeling pretty good today. Nights have been harder but working out helps. That's all folks |
Good to see you, NicLin! Congrats on 17 days!:c011: |

Day 2 Today is day 2. Not feeling that great physically this morning. My anxiety is very high today. I had a binge drinking episode Saturday. Don’t remember anything. I’m nervous I may have run into someone from work and acted like a jerk. My husband said I was really bad on Saturday. Sometimes when I drink too much I turn into a different person. It’s like a bad alter ego or something. I say things and do things I would never do sober. So anyway I am feeling panicky inside. I am also trying to decide if I should access employee assistance benefits through work or if I should just find a counselor. What do u think of EAP programs? |
