I too am becoming a new person today. This morning I hallucinated because my DT's were so bad. After that, I said that's enough. Good to see a lot of first-day people in here because I know we will all need to band together.

Welcome aboard ManiaMan.You've found an excellent place. I love this place.Keep reading and posting. You'll be sure to find some excellent advise and motivation.
Update: Saturday night was really tough,but I woke up Sunday and felt great. I have ever since. I hope this feeling don't go away!
One thing that has me so "up" is that I called one of my old drinking buddies yesterday evening.He informed me that he too had decided to quit about the same time as I did! Neither of us knew anything about the other. We were having such a hard time that we didn't want to see each other for fear of starting again!
I called another one tonight and he has been having a hard time with drinking too and is wanting to quit. This is no coincidence .The three of us stayed "hammered" together every weekend for the last 3 years.
Here I was wondering what I was gonna do about keeping my friends...Thank you Jesus!
Everybody keep on digging down deep. These last few sober days have been the best I've had in years.I would gladly hurt and crave for a week for just one day like today!
THANK YOU ALL

Well I am making it so far.
My curiosity is killing me a little.
I have been wanting to dial those numbers just to see whats up with the boys.
But I know that will lead to me getting high.
I have to cut off everyone from that atmosphere.
This is getting challenging.
Affirmations like a M***** F*****.
I am like a freak show talking to myself all the time now. Hey..but if thats what it takes to keep me clean..Then who cares.

By the way, Aldo, I did not mean to imply that you are still struggling (although for me, the struggle is always there, even if I don't always see it).
This "list" that I am keeping here is just for my addled brain to remember that many of us are dealing with this issue, and some more than others, and to keep in mind the names.
Oh, if only I could have kept in mind how easy it was for the demon alcohol to grab me when I least expected it...

Hi all,
Sort of a bummer of a day (I think that withdrawal is catching up with me). Haven't QUIT anything, but I have cut back. Maybe tomorrow can be completely "clean". Still have 6 or so hours to get through today though.
Lots of work, so I had better get (and keep) my act together. Treading a razor's edge here... HELP!!!
Anyone?

Aldo, Tom,
Aldo, I am such a wimp...
Didn't make it; already had kahlua hour, but I also didn't drink so much yesterday, and not so many of those pain pills. An almost normal night (4 advil Pm) dread and anxiety at getting up, but once I am up it (used to be) Ok.
What makes me start with this Kahlua thing? Just easier to get out of bed knowing it is there? I wil keep hanging in here with SR today and IF I can get through the rest of the day, well, maybe I am heading in the right direction, at least.
