New guy here. Boozing is no fun.
Hello everyone, just figured I would introduce myself. It's nice to see so many good supporters online. I talked myself into joining after reading as a guest for some time now. Having troubles with booze and I realize that the only way I can quit for good is by joining with others that have a common goal and that's giving up booze for good. It's time to get serious about my health. I may have liver complications due to my unwillingness to quit in the past. I have done somewhat well for the 1st weeks but then I slip. I slipped last night and drained all the booze in the house.(Lesson learned! Don't keep booze in the house!) I feel bad about it and got nothing done today to show for it. I'm getting tired of doing this to myself over and over. Today is a new day and I'm not drinking now so it's a start. Wish me luck.

Welcome and glad you are here! Make a plan for yourself the next time you get the urge and use your past slips as a way to know when to get ready to battle that AV. Once you get a month or two under your belt, it does get easier. Keep reading and posting!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I guess you know where I will be hanging out and posting. It feels good to finally join. I know I have a problem now. When I do slip up there is no having 1 or 2 it's like 12 plus every time. It's a recipe for health problems and wasting the gifts and talents that God gave me. Seeing this clearly is the 1st step I think. There are many yet to take but I have gone 3 weeks before my last indulgence of failure. See you and thanks again for the welcome and being here.

Feeling very ugh!
How come I'm sitting here at 5pm thinking drinking would be fun..... such a crazy thing, isn't it? This is only my 3rd day, and that little tiny creature in my head (who has such unbelievable power over me)is talking to me about how nice it would be!! I find it SOOOOO boring not drinking at night, plus it has always really been about reward for me. What do I do about this here and now??

Need2try, welcome to the group. You will find a lot of support on this website. I too feel bored at the moment, but I do feel so good waking up with no foggy feeling in the morning. I was having liver pains too and I feel so much better. (9th day today) That's enough motivation for me at the moment. I just want to feel better and I'm sure being bored will beat blacking out for me in the long run. Hang in there. Good luck.
