Hi everyone,
Just read through the last few pages and WOW! I'm so impressed with the support and insight (even moreseo than usual!). It continues to amaze me how alike we all are. I find myself reading things in a lot of posts that I thought were "just me". Makes me feel so much less alone.

TSH - I'm so glad you found us. The greatest thing about this place is that as long as you're here, we all know how hard you're trying (just look at your name!) and we all know what a struggle it is because we've been there too. I've had many false starts since I joined here a few months ago, have been drunk while posting, have talked with others who are still drinking on here, etc. I've also had some great successes and grown a lot in that time. I couldn't have said that a year or even six months ago. So, keep trying and keep coming back. We'll all eventually get there if we perservere.

Oh yeah, I'm at the end of day 5 (again).

yeah, I s'pose I can only move forward...
I'd rather be on day 31 again but I'll get there eventually.

I haven't been around as much lately and I'm not sure why. I've been a little busier and don't have as much to say, I guess.

I'm glad you're here when you can be Colagirl. Sometimes I just come here and listen too.

Day 5 for me and it is the first time in a very long time I made it this far. For more than a year I have been waking up every morning saying "I'll quit today". I've spent the last 4 evenings reading SR threads and I'm so impressed by all the determination and support. I'm happily sober today, and very happy to have found SR.

To Colagirl and Spudia,

Congrats and keep going. You're both on the same day so make a promise to each other you'll stay that way for the rest of your lives (meaning tomorrow will always be "today+1").

Good luck and good health.
