Morning all :ghug3 it feels great to wake up sober.

Wibble, the egg was way more serious than the bacon, before I lost it completly I put myself to my bedroom, then had a cold bath, (someone had used all the hot water) . But when all's said and done I went to bed sober and with contented feeling. And I slept really well, Bliss!

Eclipse, I gave up watching movies a long time ago. I used to tell people that I hardley watched tv as I had no attention span, I couldn't focus on the screen lol Keep posting!

Jho Stick with us we need all the help we can get.

Off to work in a min, have a good day all and dont pick up that first drink, it's be the beginning of the end.

I must admit it was a nice feeling going to bed feeling sober and having watched an episode of my favourite tv show and being able to remember it in the morning.

Pixy i won't ask about the egg...that does indeed sound serious

How you doing Pixy? You ok?

Pixy1

Hey Wibble Im doing ok.

Not long home from work. I did crave this evening but I didn't buy any. I want so much to wake up sober each day and i'm sure if we stick at it long enough the cravings will ease.

How about you? how has your day gone?

You're doing great!

I'm ok thanks. Craved horribly early evening and spent a decent amount of time thinking up scenarios where i would HAVE to drink....
The day was going really well until about mid afternoon and then it started to turn sour. Made it through ok though and thats the main thing!

Good to hear you are ok!

Lostgirl thank you so much for your post. It brought tears to my eyes.

Wibble, well done, we can do this!

Well, I am doing allot of self hatred today. I failed and went back to my old habits last night. I was really set on just going home when some friends texted me to remind me of a "Harley" giveaway at the local pub. I used every excuse I could think of to convince myself I could go and not drink. Nope, didn't work. Before I knew it I was convincing myself that I could just have a few....and then a few became a few more.... well you know the rest. I feel like crap today, but at least I made it to work on time. So today is Day one again. Sorry

Jho, just keep trying. One day it's going to click :praying

Well I am taking the next step. I called my doctor and asked for an appointment. I actually told the nurse on the phone that I was calling asking for help to quit drinking. This is the first time I have admitted it outloud to a real person, other than posting here with my new friends. Tomorrow I see the doctor and I wont lie to him about my problem.

thanks Pixy
