I will join in. My sobriety date and time was 4AM on march 31st so I'm not sure if that makes me a March or April, but I won't get caught up on the semantics of it. My goal is to make it through all of April sober, then see where I am.
And don't be too hard on yourself Willow. At least you didn't drink. Just learn from your mistake and move ahead. Good luck to you. You can do it

HI,
Im in for April 2011.....I was doing great, but this last week, fell off again. Last night, thought I would have one glass of wine- didnt stop drinking until the entire large bottle was gone! When am I going to learn? Hopefully, this is IT...I need to get it in my head that I can not drink- period...
Iam so disgusted with myself..
So today is my first day, yet again.....

Well, I'm on day 5 now and feeling OK. Been doing all the right things: trying to sleep a lot, eating healthy, vitamins, water, exercise, meditation and education. I think I have learned more about my problem in these past 5 days than i ever knew. Mainly from reading this forum and all the links, so thanks to you all for that!
As for detox, I still have trouble sleeping, but that could also be to jetlag as I crossed about 12 time zones just before I got sober. But also a little irritable, sad, and yesterday a stomach ache and headache. Overall, not so bad and today I feel much better.
I was usually drinking every other day until I passed out. Sometimes 2 days straight then pass out for 2 days. Basically either drunk or hungover all the time. Not too many craving so far, and i have all the motivation i need by looking at my bank account or chatting with my saddened girlfriend (who is now so very far away
) I know if I had been sober the past 6 months that we would be together and happy.
But now i am faced with trying to get myself together and raise enough money to get my business rolling again and eventually get back to her and what I consider "home." Getting drunk again will prevent that from happening. Sober = future happiness. Drunk = more sadness. It's as simple s that.
Good luck everyone. Stay strong and keep the faith
