Hey everyone, Im gonna jump on board too, I havent relapsed YET, its been 28 days since I used Opiates, but the cravings have came back, and still no energy 
Im getting a little discouraged, so I need all the support I can get right now. I dont wanna go back but I dont wanna feel like this forever neither

I'm now in bed waiting for my movie to start. Day one is done! I feel surprisingly great. Much better than last night. I had a really nice day, and SR helped tons. Looking forward to seeing all your updates and welcoming more new members!
The only time I felt triggered today was when I showered. I like a cold beer while taking a hot shower. But I had a cold Sprite Zero instead. No calories and tasted even better than beer.

I'm in too. And kudos to every one making the first step and keeping trying to make this big change in their lives.
After years of travelling into space in my own starship and wondering why I did not seem to be able to achieve what I am capable of, struggling with my finances, not feeling motivated to do much, having less and less social interaction and blaming everything and everybody else but me for that, I have slowly managed my way back to Earth over the past few weeks. Now I come to realise, or more precisely "accept", that I am not drinking because things aren't going well and it helps me get by, but, because I am over consuming, things have been slowly getting worse than they originaly were.
Wrote down on a piece of paper how much money I will save by not having that 1 or 2 bottle of wine every day, how much more free time I will have by not spending part of my week ends in bed recovering from hand overs, how much more efficient I will be at work by not feeling tired from the previous nights drinking. Planing on keeping it in my wallet as a reminder next time I will be tempted to go to the liquor store for my "daily fix".
But I know that it will take much more than that to translate what is onto this piece of paper into a new, healthier lifestyle as temptations are all around.
Was looking for ways to get support and stumbled upon this blog. Looks like a fab place. I am so glad I found it. reading all the posts already gives me that extra bit of strength required to get started.
Good luck to eveyone in the June 2013 class. Let's all look after each other and make this work.

Hi
I was in the September group but thought that after seven months I could try controlled drinking. That really didn't work out for me. After spending pretty much all of May miserable, barely functioning and badly hungover it was great to wake up today with a clear head. Ready for a fresh start now and more determined than ever to beat this addiction. Good luck everyone.
