Going to try

Going to try to be sober. I know it will be a tough road ahead, but, I know I have overcome more than this addiction. I truley want to beat this. I think I found a place that at least I can talk to people about my cravings and issues without being embarrased of anyone finding out my secret

Welcome to SR!

It is always wise to see a doctor to de tox.
It is a serious medical situation and can be dangerous.

It's great to see a new member seeking answers..
Blessings

I am in the same boat. I made it through my first day and I feel great. Not sure what the next days will include, but I am determined to fight this. My vise is wine, when I cook but I sneak it and I drink way more than a few glasses. It is a horrible feeling to have to hide the smell, (can you ever) and sneak around from your family. This morning I woke up with no guilt and a lighter feeling in my heart. I just need to keep remembering how I used to feel about myself and how I felt this morning. Luckily I have a supportive husband that I just totally came clean with the other night. I actually had a cup of tea when I cooked and I was just fine with that... We can do it.....

Still working on it. Still having some drinks (5-6) about every 6 to 10 days. Better than 1 liter everyday I guess. Still trying and working at it. I do feel good about the bit of progress I am making. I know that 0 drinks every 6 to 10 days is best, but I am trying. No excuses from me, I give in a bit, and work harder after.

On the plus side, I am shooting better(competitive target shooting), and have remodled my bathroom in the last 2 months. And saved an extra 2g's. yea, I used to drink that much.
