I'm sure not much more is needed to be said and I know you all understand. It's so exhausting to be here again but I must put away those feelings because I need to be here concentrating on sobriety. One Day at a Time...that is my plan. If I don't drink today, then I cannot get drunk today.

Good for you, Liv!

And keep on trying. If you fall 10 times get up 11. If you want sobriety badly enough, you'll get it eventually.

Hang in there, we're rooting for you! One of the first friends I made through AA meetings is from Cedar Rapids.. Small world!

Livlaphluv,

I'm glad you are here and focusing on sobriety.

What was your plan last time? How is this time different? I agree that you can't get drunk if you don't drink today. Makes sense to me. However, I'm an alcoholic. After years of trying to not drink, making daily, and weekly, and monthly, and yearly promises, I kept drinking. I always found a way to drink again. That is what defines me as an alcoholic. I had a mental obsession with drinking, an insane delusion that it would be different every time I picked up a drink.

I recovered from that insanity as the result of abandoning myself to the simple AA program. Full tilt, all the steps, no half measures.
