Chronic relapsing.... make a vow.
 

Anyone who decides to drink today, before you take that drink:

YOU are making the conscious CHOICE to drink, YOU and YOU alone.

YOU know exactly what YOU are doing (yes, YOU do, don't fool yourself.)

YOU can place false blame on anything you want, but YOU are choosing to drink.

YOU need to honestly admit it is YOUR choice and be HONEST.

Now try this - make a vow, and keep your word, that you will post here BEFORE you take the drink. No one will/can stop you from drinking, you can still take the drink, so don't worry about that, just post here BEFORE you take the drink. Soooooo many people post after they take the drink - but this time, stand tall, be the person you are, post here BEFORE you drink - instead of coming in here after you've done it.

Anybody up for making this vow?

Tommy, Great post!!

The choice is always up to the individual, ALWAYS!!!!!

While I have not had the desire to drink for along time I'll make the vow!

I'm in. I promise before I take a drink that I will post to this site first.

I definately fall into the "chronic relapsing" category

I need to put more effort into staying sober - thanks TommyK!

Count me in too!
I am very guilty of posting after I have already taken that 1st drink so today, I promise to post here first. Maybe that will make the difference for me...thanks for giving me the strength:-)

Count me in.

Can i join in too. A chronic relapser here! Will keep you posted.

Count me in too. I vow that I will post here before drinking. I will also post daily on the "Chronic" thread. Thanks Tommyk

I too will come here before running to the "bottle shop". Great idea!:ghug2

This is a great idea, I'm in. Thank you.

I want in too!!!!

Not going to give in

Its an awesome idea! Type before you drink that first one. I'm in!!!

Yeah, definitely.

I'm in. I usually wait until sober again to post . Thanks heaps for this post Tommy

Well, i'm new here...and I know i'm drinking tonight.....so here's my post. :(
My ex/current/who knows anymore?/.....is going back to his town tomorrow. Can't seem to be around him without drinking...don't know why! He's great and he doesn't drink. But he did end our marriage and disappear for two months without seeing if we were ok....and I'm still bitter. Sigh.

So just don't drink dancinggirl. The bitter will still be there when you sober up. Learn to deal with that now, hun. You'll be ok...:-) Keep talking.

I am seriously enthused, touched, and totally psych'd up over the amount of people here who want to quit drinking and are willing to try this out. I love you, I'm here for you.

H.O.W?

Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness.

Together we're gonna make it happen. Seriously, I'm overwhelmed by your willingness.

Add me to the list, Tommyk - this might've saved me back in January. Love, Joanie

we don't have to wear a T shirt with your face on it, do we Tommy?
LOL

it's the peer support that SR gives like this that keeps me coming back...
Good job all of you.

I'm in.
