Wink 8 days dry and holding strong

My last day drinking I got liquor poisoning and fell over and passed out in my own vomit. My boyfriend took a picture of me so he could have evidence to take our son away from me if I continue drinking this way. This is not the mother I want to be nor the person I want to be so Iv turned the page and here I am.

Welcome to SR Iknow! It's great to have you join us.

I like what you said - "I've turned the page". That's the spirit - and you'll find all sorts of support and encouraging thoughts here. You can do it!

congratulations on the 8 days of sobriety

I have met many ladies in AA who have lost their children due to drinking
it causes them so much pain
something that I hope and pray you will never have to go through

I'm on day 9 myself.

I haven't really taken my sobriety this seriously in past attempts, so I'm glad to see someone here at almost exactly the same stage as myself.

I'll try to match you day for day. So far so good.

Hi - welcome to our family!

There is a wealth of information, experience, strength and support here at SR.
I have 435 days sober, and it has been the best choice I ever made.

I did it mostly with the help of SR.

Alcohol has no place in my life anymore.
Since I gave it up I am much happier and more at peace.

Why not join the class of April thread and get daily support from there?

My best to you

Way to go! I hope to match you 8 in another 5. Funny how there is some precipitating event/consequence and we end up here.
