I have finally admitted to myself that I am powerless against alcohol. I am pretty damn hungover right now and am having trouble typing this. I feel like **** but i am at peace at the same time. I woke up on the sofa, well, I came to on the sofa at 3:00 pm and not sure exactly what happened last night. I am safe now and I feel okay. I have an intense feeling of love for my wife and daughters and I want to hug them right now. I want to take better care of myself because I like who I am.

I am goin to remove all traces of booze from my home and take a walk down to the dumpster

thanks for listening

Welcome to SR!!! You are fortunate that you have a wife and daughters, and I am sure they are fortunate to have you. I hope that you give you and them the gift of being a sober Dad and husband. You deserve it, and they do too. Take care.

Hi nairb! This place saved my life. No one else understood what I was going through. I received so much encouragement and hope when I joined. I hope you'll feel the same.

Thanks for the welcoming replies.

On Feb 1, 2012 I gave up smoking tobacco and today I am giving up the booze. It's time to start living again. I am turning 51 this year and now I understand that my birth cerificate does not have an expiration date.

Day 2, still feel a bit hungover and didn't sleep terribly well but I did lay quietly with slow deep relaxing breathing. The brain was in overdrive as usual. A little shakey now and then.

Life is excellent today. I haven't eaten much since Friday so I am searching for some sound nutrition to help me through this.

Talked with my awesome wife and she's got my back. I am fortunate to be with her. I just did some volunteer work. The stress in my life will be so much easier to manage now.

Recovery takes time and I am good with that!

Welcome nairb! It will get easier as time goes by. Hang in there.

God bless.
