Thanks for the support, did not drink last night.
I posted here instead. I can see where the sneaky part of alcoholism comes into play though. Now I am on day 5 and part of me is saying I've had a break for a bit, let's drink! But I know that is not my rational mind and I have to fight it again today. I can see how fighting can get tiresome so I am taking people's words that it will get easier.

That is GREAT Snakes!
One day a time never made
sense to me until recently.
That damn voice in our heads,
I wish that it could be removed
surgically.
Stay determined Snakes.
It is damn rough at the
beginning. I'm only a little
over 2 weeks sober and
I feel like throwing in the
towel at times. With this
site, my wife's support
and the memory of the shere
horror of my last withdraw,
I keep that towel around my
neck.
You CAN do it!

Thanks
Just signed up on this site. I'm hoping that this will be the support system that I need to quit drinking.
I only drink after 4 p.m., but it's every night. Can't seem to get up the ambition to change my routine at that time of day. I think that would help. I live in Arizona, so the weather is usually fine for a walk (discounting summers) but something in me is fighting the change. My first attempt will be this afternoon when I'll login here and look for someone to chat with. Hope someone will be here for a live chat.

Snakes - great job coming here to vent and staying sober. I DO remember the first week...YUCK - and yes, It did get much better for me and I'm sure it will be better for you. You have already many souls concerned about you and praying you can make it... Stay in touch.

Plenty of support here Mission.
Remember, you CAN do it!
I was like you once upon a time,
I only drank in the evenings.
Then the drinking would start
as soon as I woke up and would
continue into the night. Damn insanity!
Not only that, I went from a 12 pack
to almost a case at the end.
It's no bed of roses right now, but
it will get better. Promise.

Soberlicious put it this way once: If you were in the grocery store and someone approached you and said, "Your clothes are on fire" and you could look down and see that your clothes are not on fire would you wear yourself out fighting them? No. You'd turn and walk away. They aren't worth spending any energy on.
The AV lies. I ignore.
I only think of it as a fight now when I am feeling triumphant. My AV face down on the floor with my boot on its neck, begging for mercy. It gets none. It's a liar and a thief that would kill me if I let it. It gets no mercy.
Congrats on another day sober. Don't look now, but you are winning. Never let up.

Day 5! Congrats! It DOES get easier bit by bit. I'm on day 9 and it's so NICE to wake up in the mornings and not be warm, clammy and all hung over. I no longer have to keep my distance from people at work paranoid that they will smell last nights rum on my breath. I just feel so free. Everything will come to light before you know it. Sobriety is the greatest!
