Class of October 2008
 

Well, I guess I'll start this one off.

Yep, that means I'm no longer in the Class of September. And I was doing so well.

New month, new start.

You were doing well TSH, and you will do that well again. You're back, you haven't gone into freefall. I'm sure you'll have lots of classmates soon.

Never give up on yourself! Never!!

New classmate - reporting for duty.

I'm so happy to see you all getting back up on the wagon and trying again. I relapsed so many times I thought I was hopeless, but I wasn't. I finally 'got it' right and am enjoying being sober today. So can you!

love and hugs to you all

:ghug3

Hang in there TSH!

I'm here!

Welcome, fellow classmates. :)

Something is different about this time. Something just feels different. I'm absolutely disgusted with myself. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've heard that phrase countless times, but today it actually means something to me. I am sick of myself. This has just got to be it. It's just got to.

I can't do this again.

Congratulations TSH and look you have company. I think you should all do it together hand in hand. Keep posting and remember if the urge to drink hits - post, post, post! It worked for Stoney and countless others. :ghug

glad to see all of you here and know that i am not the only one who feels like s**t today but who hopes to feel better tomarrow. i havn't quit drinking - i'm nursing the rest of my wine - but it's almost gone - one glass left and that's it for me. so tomarrow is my quit day - or actually today as i'm quitting today.... :) i know how feeble that sounds but it's the best i've got. i'm going to need you guys.....

And we will be here. And one day we will need you, too. :)

Well said, TSH. Some days we can give to others and some days we have to come here to get support from others. As long as we don't simultaneously have a bad day, we'll all be fine! I feel different about the pills this time, I know what you mean.

Best wishes to the new class of October 2008. Wishing you all success in your journey. Never give up on yourselves, and less than half a day and already 3 of you on board. TSH keep your strength up you will succeed!

October is a wonderful month to get sober! :)

So I'm not the only one that feels this miserable about myself I guess...not that I want other people to feel bad, but it's a bit of a comfort to know I'm not the only one

Hello Everyone! This is day one for me. I love all of your posts....so positive!! I am 28 and I too have been doing this for too long. I have been grappling with trying to get sober for almost two years now. That's when I recognized my drinking as a problem. I have tried to "manage" my drinking but inevitably end up defeated. I hope that this time can be different and that I can really embrace life sober. There is alot of living I want to do.

TSH you sound like me the last time I binged. I knew something was different, I knew I couldn't put my body and spirit through it any more. It turns out I was right, I never picked up again and it's almost 9 mos. The first few mos. were rough, a chore, not very happy - but after the 90-day mark I began to feel human again. It's so hard to get past that initial period, but I promise you will be rewarded for all you've gone through.

Welcome JJF514 and MD2B!

You are not alone.

I know how miserable it is. I am right at the beginning myself so I can relate to all the misery of drinking.

But there is a better life to be found. One day at a time.

Just take it a moment at a time till the day is through. Just for today I won't...

Stick around!

Hello,
It is my day 3 without alcohol today. Thank you for beeing here and for all the support!
