I surrendered to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's worked for over 23 yrs.

All the best.

My father died from alcoholism when he was 38, in 1985. I have finally found my serenity in AA. I have been in and out since I was 16 and it finally just stuck this time around. I now have 8 months and I am so much happier. I have been on anti-depressants, have contemplated suicide, thought I was bipolar, I cried all the time, etc.... Now I am a happy human being, living the life that I always dreamed of. Sober for 8 months, I am still a newbie, but I did it through AA and with my sponsor. I hope you can find your serenity.

It does however feel this time that it will be for a long time i would always feel better by wednesdays no atter what i had binged on, this last time it went thursday to monday witch is what i could get away with. I am feeling i have enough guilt in the bank to keep me till first meeting back tonight. My wife has no confidence in me and im a bit ashamed to tell her im going.

Thanks FredG got on top of the meeting times yesterday tuesday is the only day i have to miss in my local area. I think its been close to 10 years since last meeting! A bit nervous. Funny how quickly 20 years of abuse accumulates, my longest sober period in this time has been 1 month.

All you need to do is concentrate on today. Just don't drink today and when tomorrow becomes today - repeat

10 years since your last ?? Time to go then.

Just remember, if you needed a drink you'd find a way to get one. Now that you need to stay sober, you can do the same, find a way to do it
