Another newcomer...

Hi all.

Woke up in a state after yet another failed attempt to go out without getting drunk.... Have lurked here before when I've tried to quit but figuring I'll try posting and see if that helps me stay on track - what's the worst that could happen?! Well and truly sick of the booze now so time to take control of the situation.

Good to see you spdr. Sometimes we just need further proof that we have no control. Maybe now you're ready to kick it out of your life. We are here to help.

Hi, Spdr. Welcome to SR and its posting side!

What worse could happen? Only best, take my word.

When I started to post here I didn't expect it will change my life. I was just desperate. Desperate overall. And mostly desperate for understanding and support.

I spent a lot of time here in early recovery. I still do.

Keep posting and best wishes to you)

Thanks everyone From what I've seen of the forum so far it seems like the community is a great resource so I look forward to getting involved and interacting with you guys.

The plan is still in development apart from not drinking tonight - luckily the house is booze free at the moment so no immediate temptation. Short term plan involves lots of tea and sleep - thinking about giving AA a go next week which I haven't tried before. I always seem to relapse if I don't keep fit so will be hitting the gym once the hangover fuzz starts lifting.
