[QUOTE=Pixy1;1814218]DAY 1 AGAIN!! well thats the plan anyway. I have just got up and feel awful. I only had 3 glasses of wine. Gone are the days I could drink a bottle and start on another.
Why oh why do we do it when we know how good it feels not to?
And after a slip up why does it take so long to get back to sober again? It's like something has to click in your mind first. Which isn't easy when the mind is so fuzzy from alcohol.
Sooo true......Sadly, I'm right here with you

I love the honesty in this thread. Ruch, ColaGirl, Pixy, ThisIsTheDay, Buttercup, Sindelu2, SoBearish, Least - It seems we all are having a rough time staying sober even though we have a desire. It's frustrating and sad. When I started I went 2 full months before even a small slip. Now I can't get out of this thread and it's not from a lack of trying. At least we're better off drinking on and off than drinking all the time - maybe eventually it will take. I'm on Day 7 (I think). I was going to quit counting because it just seems pointless.

well, i made up my mind to attend an AA meeting tonight for the first time. I would not consider doing this until i was fully detoxed as I wanted a clear head and hate going to new places while in the horrors and shaking and sweating. I still say what has helped me up to now is reading my early posts, it just reminds me of how bad I was, and brings back the memories, and that alone has served me up ontil now. So the AA meeting might bring me infront of the first step up wards I hope.

Day 4 here also. I feel good. Made a call to get some real help. Treatment. I told myself years ago that I never would go to treatment but here I am. I think it will do me good. I am just waiting on a call from a counselor and then hopefully making an appointment to go. Good luck to all who are here. I wish you the best!

Ok made it through yesterday - BIG ((((hugs)))) to all who are struggling with me.
I guess this thing is like learning to ride a bike. You fall and fall and fall then one day you get the balance right and you're off.
I'm here with and for you.
(I miss Paddington though - hope he's ok)

Woot! Woot! Day 12! I really feel like I have some real momentum this time. As much as I love being apart of the this thread I look foward to surpassing two weeks very soon. Sorry if I come off as bragging but I feel really good for a change.

Did you get to a meeting? If so, how was it for you? Curious!

Day 12,
Feeling good today but it very early yet. Went to a meeting last night, the jury is still out on it, found it to be a very unual kind of affair. when asked if anybody new was present i duly put up my hand and introduced myself and that was the end of my participation in the meeting. I did say i would do 10 meetings before I made a choice if they were for me or not. so as I said the jury is still out. But after last night is kinda leaning towards a NO vote!
