Hi everyone 
I hope I can join you. I thought I’d better jump on board the January class before the February class starts, because I don’t want to still be drinking another day, another month, another year......
I’ve had so many stops and starts that I’m just done with it.
I keep thinking I might just have it this time, then I give in to temptation and it starts all over again.
But I’m done with drinking, really done. I don’t want to play this stupid game with myself, pretending to myself that I’ll be able to moderate and just have a couple. Codswallop.
So I’m on day 1.
Sunday 31st January 2021.
It’s 3.35pm and I haven’t had a drink today.
I’m done.
No more “trying to stop”. I’ve had enough.
From now on, quite simply, I don’t drink anymore.

Good day to everyone old and new.
Got a 5k morning walk in rain this morning and feel good after it. (Only for my knees)
Today marks 62 days sober and tomorrow im going to start a diet. For all the wrong reasons i took to eating myself sober and have put on a lot of weight which now is affecting my sleep and mood especially in the evenings.
So tomorrow begins a new chapter on this sobriety journey to get fit and have a later in life body that doesn't wobble as much, no more reflux and start walking to work again without almost collapsing by the time i get there.
Have a great sober day everyone

Welcome Red! Glad you're here and I'll see you in Feb class too.
Hi Willow & Erratic. I've been in the same boat. Really good at quitting over & over but not staying quit. It's so draining. Let's get this done and use our energy for staying quit not starting over again.
I'm looking forward to a new month. I'll have a lighter work schedule in Feb. This go-round I'm adding some recovery work to each day, reading daily meditations and other spiritual guides. Yesterday listened to a helpful podcast. There's more I can do but it's a start and I think needs to be built into every single day. Whatever I was doing before was not enough. I need to change more to change more. I'm also trying to be more honest about why I'm letting myself give in and give up.
