Day one, again.
I've been struggling with getting sober after a two month relapse. I had 8 months, but I need to get back on track. I do it without any support, so I'll try to keep a tally here. This looks like a fantastically supportive forum.

Just curious though, you say you have stayed sober without any support? No A.A.? No support from friends of family?

TallWater, you have found a wonderful place full of wise and generous people, many of whom have found their way to a place without alcohol or drugs. Hope you can come along for the journey.

Well, it was only one day, we had a team building function for the company (vip booth at a hockey match) today and I didn't have the fortitude to curtail the free beer. At the moment I'm at home with no booze in the house, 12 hours before I have to work, and a worldview that just sucks, although I read some Proust just now to my gf before she fell asleep. I wish it wasn't so difficult.

I think everyone finds the going hard in the beginning, TW.
Maybe you need to think more about what else you think you need to make this work?
more support? a different approach? changes in your lifestyle?

Thanks Dee, I've done it before, I know what it takes as an individual with no support (AA, Family, SO). One of my coworkers is 22 years sober, he was at the bar tonight buying a budlight for his GF, and a diet coke for himself (I was able to do this not very long ago). Now it feels like I'm Scotty trying to nudge the enterprise into warp factor 10.

All I've ever used is SR, TW.
I use it a lot tho - look at my post count LOL
It was the right thing at the right time for me
Others here have fouind that too - while others have found they need more.
I think it's very much an individual thing

I'm new here, too. I have been a horrible binge drinker for the past 3 years and have drank since I was 15. I am 28 now. Got off of a FORTY day binge months ago and had a huge seizure. It scared the crap out of me. Well, just got off a 9 day binge and had another seizure and my families starting to hate me. I really wanna stop this time. Day 2 for me. Hope and wish you all the best!
