Six days sober! I am almost 35 years old and I know that I cannot control my drinking. I hit rock bottom last Friday night when I decided to get drunk while on my shift at work. It wasnt the first time that I have done that but last friday was a blackout moment!:/ I am meeting a therapist for the first time ever next tuesday and I am excited yet nervous! My family history is full of raging alcoholics! My husbands family including my husband cant fathom why I cannot put down the sauce and say no or just have one or two.....

I joined today because I want to be sober. I want to get better. I want to be proud of myself. I want to not sneak booze or have secrets from my husband. This will be my greatest challenge yet. My teeth are clenching today because it was a stressful day. Last night I had demons in my dreams....eeeekkkk scared the crap out of me! Looked up what they meant and boom.....it all made sense.

Hi Lunachild and welcome!

I used to have demons in my dreams too when I was drinking, but not anymore.

Good for you for getting 6 days sober, that's great! It's usually very hard for others to understand what we go through, so that's a good reason to post here.

Welcome and congrats on your 6 days xxxxx

Welcome, lunachild. Congrats on 6 days.

I didn't have demons in my dreams but they were certifiable nonetheless.
