Finmywayback

Hello, Well I am not feeling all that well today and I believe I will be heading off to bed shortly but first I want to say how happy it made me to find this support community. I did enjoy sobriety for eight years in the past so I know how much better life can be. Unfortunately I have been drinking for the last eight years as well. It is true what they say about the disease grows with time and I am not fooling myself that I have my work cut out for me. I received some not so good news about my finances Wednesday and rather then deal with it I headed to the liquor store and bought Two half gallon bottles of vodka. I drank all but two inches in the last bottle and I dumped that down the kitchen sink this morning. Needless to say I am not in very good shape today but I have to find my way back or die it is as simple as that. So here I am. Hopefully I will be more coherent in a couple days. I just needed to make that first move and introduce myself.

Glad you're here and have decided to get sober again!

Finding this forum was a Godsend for me.... I know you'll find the same inspiration and support here that I did. You can do this! Things are going to get better - just be careful and go to a doc or ER if you need to.

I think I will be 0k; I just can’t stray to far from the lavatory. I wonder if there is anything I can drink that will help flush my system, does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe something that is good for the liver for a change! I do not have health insurance right now so I am not going to the DR’s or rehab if I can help it. I should straighten up in a few days that’s when the real work is going to begin. I am glad this post my help someone not to go back out there, it is not worth it and to hard to find ones way back.

Hello Finmywayback! I hope you'll benefit from SR as much as I have. I was lost before I came here, totally alone with my nightmare. It meant so much to open up and share my feelings with people who understood what I was going through.

I had some sober years also, then started up again for 7 more years - so I understand how you must feel. I spiraled downward very quickly the last time. I know I can't ever go back to that sick life I used to lead. I'm so glad you found us - we're happy to have you as part of the family. You can get your life back and turn everything around.

Welcome, Fin....the people here are great, and very supportive. You can try drinking Gatorade, I found that helped a little, but I hope you dont have a very bad detox...Congratulations on deciding to quit.

I stopped for a week after my 34th birthday and somehow graduated from beer to vodka. Something strange about going back after a break.
