Hi everyone!

This thread is devoted to any newbie, oldtimer or undecided what ever you classify yourself as.

To anyone who needs a hand, a prayer, advise, consolation or other, it's as easy as asking for help!!!!!!

This thread will prove that by everyone responding. It's a no brainer.
No I don't need anything right now, but if I did I know I could ask my new family here at SR. so please take a moment to just say hi, this will show how easy asking for help really is........

Thank-you my new family, you all have been a real inspiration to me.

Hiya hope!!!!
I feel pretty good today, but I do know that if I needed help, this would be the very first place I would come. Giant hugs for everyone!!

hi hope
this is the first place i come, also, when i need instant help. my al-anon family isn't always available when i have a crisis (usually self-imposed, lol), and to know there are so many people available here is such a comfort to me.

love to all
jeri

Hi tj and embraced, thanks for responding, you know how when you first log in and it shows how many members and visitors are on. Usually lots of visitors, who probably are afraid to ask for help.

I'm hoping to get more members...or to at least show how easy it is to just say help, lol ((((((((((hope3)))))))))

I come here every day to read and try to be sober. I know only I can do this for myself...and as much as I think I want it, I keep falling back to old habits. I bought a journal yesterday to write down dreams, goals, triggers, etc. The weird thing is I want to hide it so no one ever comes across and finds it to read how I really feel....is that a bad thing?

hope3

Hi IFeel4Tun8, no that is not a bad thing at all.

Sounds like you are working on getting to know yourself
better. This is good, and not wanting anyone else to know the
deep dark secrets of your soul is quite normal.

You say that you have trouble falling back to old habits, what exactly do you mean, if you don't mind me asking.
I fell back on old habits on and off for 4 years, but I get it this time..its different for everyone. But maybe together we can figure it out, what do you say....(((((((((Sharon))))))))

IFeel4Tun8

Thanks Sharon! I wake up with the thought that today I will NOT drink...then it comes to the end of the day and work was horrible...or a really GOOD tv show is on and I think well, just one glass of wine would be ok. I KNOW that first sip will just lead to more and more. I sometimes even pour it and let it sit for a while and think about it, which ends up just drinking anyway. I used to drink vodka, but promised myself and my husband I would not bring vodka into the house anymore...so now it's wine...which I KNOW logically is still alcohol, but I thought I could do moderation. I cant do that either. I just need to work through this and get help. Yes, I've been to the doctor to get meds for withdrawl and cravings...No I havent been to any meetings but have checked into them and there is 1 at a church (a HUGE church) once a week, and I'm not feeling comfortable with that idea at ALL. Do alcoholics go to meetings that are for other types of addictions??? or would that be inappropriate? I'd love to hear some input from you guys. I feel better already!

Hi Ifeel4Tun8, I'm not in A.A, not that I don't think it is a very good program, because it is.
I'm doing the steps with the help of the book "A Woman's Way Through the 12 Steps"
But the first thing to do is stop drinking, then work on changing the way you look at things, because you'll be looking at them through sober eyes.

You can do it, the first three days are usually the worst...

Best wishes((((((((hope3))))))))
