Back and determined to change my life

Hello everyone...I joined last September, and here I am again a year later. History of binge once a week drinking. Even though I have tried to either stop or control it...has not happened, and it my weakness. I admit I have not tried hard enough. But...I woke up today feeling differently. No longer am I worried about what others will think when I say No Thanks to the offer of a drink and for the first time look forward to saying I do not drink. I cannot go down the dark road I have been on for a long time anymore. Life is too short.

I am tired of not being in control of myself, tired of not being the strong woman I can be when it comes to self control. In more ways than one, not just drinking. So here I am, and this is the absolute best place to be...I learned that a whole back. Like others, I will post every day and read others progress as well. I am in the Class of September, 2012!

Welcome back. Staying away from alcohol is a lot easier with the support of other recovery alcoholics, so you are in the right place.

Sheer willpower is a hard way to stop. For me, I neede other people who have been through the same things to help me. Keep reaching out for help. It will make it easier for you.

Coco, I'm also struggling.....I had my last beer today at 1pm........and hoping it's my last.
I went on a really bad vodka, JBlack binge and now I'm trying to sober up with beer.....but no more. I'm praying and I mean I'm on my knees

Hi Coco,
Welcome back. I log in here at least once a day, it is part of my daily ritual to stay sober,it's not a chore.
Hope this time around you find the strength to stay sober, it's there, just work with it.
Love
