Same excuses work pressure I deserve one etc.ost many girlfriends through it even me daughters mum.never got violent just didn't want the drinking all the time. Had enough chances to be fair.hope to find some support and advice here. Like I said dreading this evening coming as its around 5ish the craving starts and beats me.

Hang in there tammy I'm feeling the same just trying to take me mind off things first time as well I've just been to the shop and not bought me lager
try and remember how you feel right now, maybe even write it down because sooner or later that voice will be telling you a drink is okay.
Piscean69, did i read that right, you just bought more? sorry to hear that.

Welcome & congratz to Day One-ers! It's not a journey of 100 or 1,000 days but a journey of One Day at a Time...and early on, even 1 hour at a time will work. Surround yourself with positive & sober (new) friends. AA works for me...find meetings you feel relaxed & at home with. I find serenity at these meetings. Take what you hear & try to apply it to your way of working whatever program. This is a good place to 'browse', share or get advice. Keep coming back!

Welcome to SR Piscean69
If you're interested in programmes I can give you a few links
There's many different approaches and methods of recovery around - here's some links to some of the main players - you can read around a bit, maybe find something that gels with you:

I recommend you visit the Secular Connections forum if you think you may benefit from a non 12 step approach
good to have you with us
