You are boxing yourself into quite a tight little corner....

I wish you the best.

Welcome ca and toast!!

To me, your post is the most important post I've read today, for it reminds me of just where I can be if I choose to drink today. For many, many years it was no longer a choice for me, I drank just to get through life.

Stating that you are on day one is HUGE!! It can be the beginning of a totally different way of living. There is much promise in staying sober, but little to be found while drunk and feeling like total cr*p.

I wish you strength, hope and the tenacity to stay close to SR and give yourself a new chance at life. Hugs to you both.

I just want to apologize for sticking the extra A in AVRT, didnt mean it. I type to fast for my own good sometimes. And really should not hit the post button so quick.

Sorry.

Welcome ca!

I spent the first couple days reading on this forum and staying sober an hour (sometimes a minute) at a time. It seems strange and a bit scary, I know, but it won't be this way forever.

Just try to stay in the moment and keep things low-stress if you can (I'm a mom, too, and I know that's not always easy!)....... Things really will get better.....
