my second day one thank you for everyone who stood by me and your kind words as i struggled through my first night of trying not to drink. it was a fail, but i did drink less than i normally would because of you guys, for what its worth.i shouldve known better to keep the last of that wine in the house it was almost like an evil security blanket.so today is my day one. im buying some chai tea(my favorite in the world) to sip on tonight to comfort me and keep my hands and lips busy while i watch my shows.it was really hard coming clean to my brother about needing a psychiatrist, he still doesnt understand the whole thing because he wasnt abused like my sister and I. nonetheless he is supportive and wants me to be well so he looked up some numbers for me.thank you for all your prayers and support.*deep breath* i can do this.day one.again. |
Everyday is day 1. You can do it!! Remember if you have trouble staying sober for a whole day, just try to stay sober hour by hour. If thats too long take it by 30mins. I've had to break it up by episodes of the big bang theory to stay sober lol. I tried with how i met ur mother (great show btw) but the half the dang show is in a pub... totally didnt work. you can do this, ill keep u in my prayers. :) |
LOL that made me laugh cuz the big bang theory is my favorite show LOL thanks for the advice |
Good luck MrsBrown, you can do it!

MrsBrown....take the money you would have spent on booze or at the pub and go get a manicure and/or pedicure. Do something nice for yourself! You deserve it! |
You can do it MrsBrown...we are here for you!! |
I am back to a new day one as well. Sigh... It was not a horrible drunken night, just polished off a bottle of wine we had here. None in the house now. |
Hour by hour, I like that idea. Next thing you know it'll be midnight and time for bed. Goodluck Mrs. Brown! stay strong, stay sober! |

It may be your second Day 1, but it can also be your last. Wouldn't that be great, to never have another Day 1 after this? To always count the days moving forward and never have to go back to the beginning? That can be your reality, and it can be awesome. |
you are soooooooooo right snarf. i am trying to get rid of that "only on my birthday" "only on new years eve" it hasnt clicked in my head yet that theres no safe date or a safe amount of alcohol. i know it needs to click it just hasnt settled in yet and im just glad that im aware of it |

^^I can understand that it could be embarrassing at first. It's going to be tough but, yes, at least anyone she knows there will be there for the same reason. Don't let that hold you back MrsBrown! You do what you have to do! I believe in you! |
one little victory after another, will lead you to success. Glad you are with us again, on your second day one. I really feel sad when someone posts and we never hear from them again, so just keep doing what you must do , replace bad choices with good choices, one choice at a time:) People DO recover!!! hugs chicory |
