My first "real" Day One

I'm a bit of an emotional wreck right now, coming up on my witching hour of Day ONE of my journey. I've stopped before, I don't know if this time will be different, but reading all of your inspirational posts is already helping. I drink up to two bottles of wine a night at least four nights a week. Sometimes with a cocktail or couple beers thrown in. Can't remember the last time it was "fun" - it was just any old night of the week.

I hope I can do this so my kids get their parent back.

Wish me luck.

I am right there with you, it is my day one too, and as 5:00 draws closer, it's harder and harder to stop thinking about the thought of not drinking when I get home.

I know how you feel, it's not fun, or enjoyable anymore, it's a routine and a viscious cycle.

I wish you all the luck and strength in the world.

Hi and Welcome August!

Please know that we understand and have faith that you can do this.

Have you talked to your dr because detoxing from alcohol can be dangerous?

Welcome! I am new myself and am on day 2! I'm also on an emotional roller coaster today but physically I feel better than I have in a long time. I am with you that my drinking just became routine and it was more habit than anything else. I drank my miller lite with everything I did (except work). At home I would vacuum with 1 hand and miller lite in the other. So today I feel just a little bit lost. Its my day off and normally I would be cleaning house like crazy having my beer. Working without it, has been slow going today but I'm taking it one step at a time.

Again welcome, best wishes!

Have A Magical Day!

I feel you. I am getting to the point where it isnt fun, though I have not reached it yet. I wish you well and hope that your kids get their parent back too.
