It didnt get any better. Hello everyone. I was fairly active on this site six months ago, but I had gone back out drinking since then. Ive been sober since 12/17....all I can say is it does not get any better. I am a full blown alcoholic, and Ive proved it yet again. There is not such thing as controlled drinking for me. After I take the first one, there is no turning back. I just want to keep on drinking. Thankfully Ive come out of this fairly intact, and, god willing, I can make it stick this time. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Christmas, and I look forward to visiting these forums often and getting to know all the terrific people here. |
Welcome back! |
Welcome back ! I too had many dangerous tangos with alcohol. Not until I admitted and ACCEPTED the fact that I am powerless, and can NEVER drink again - things started to get better. Glad you are back. |
I am convinced that for me even a couple of drinks sets me off, to some degree of unsatisfactory drinking. For some, light drinking is only marginally better than heavy drinking, with the latter always a distinct possibility.... |
Welcome back Gunther :) x |
Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. One thing that always struck me about this community is that no posts go unanswered or unreplied to for very long. Its pretty awesome. |
Welcome back Gunther :) D |
Gunther , im exactly the same mate. Ones too much, one thousands never enough. |
Welcome Back!! I started in Jan of 12 and came back in October! |
I'm so glad you came back, gunther. You sound really ready this time. I made many half-hearted attempts at quitting. I always ended up telling myself I just needed to use willpower & I could still have a few from time to time. As if. :) One would always lead to the whole bottle, then another bottle. Then drinking the next day. I had to admit it wasn't fun anymore - it was doing nothing for me. I think I always chased the past euphoria - and those days were long gone. It was poison to me, and brought me nothing but misery. I'm glad you're here to try again. We know you can do it - and have a new life. |
Good to know. We all need a reminder sometimes. Glad you're back. |
Just wanna say Hi Gunther and Good Luck. |
Welcome back gunther, glad you're here! |
Welcome back, Gunther! Thank you for saying that it doesn't get any better out there...that is something I have to always be told. I get forgetful sometimes and begin to wonder. We all know what that leads to. lol :) What is your plan for staying sober? |
Welcome Back, best of luck! |
The great obsession of every alcoholic is that they can drink normally. That is not the case. It would be great if we learned that right away!! I did not and it took a lot of "research" for me to admit. I have a few 24 hours now and I know I am not going back. You are always welcome back here, hell I was on this site under a whole different name :c031: I came back!! You can do this one day at a time! |
Welcome back!! |
