Hi. Tired of it all, so decided to quit... yada yada yada sob story, boo-hoo.
This is day 2, and my payday.
I was one foot out of the door already but decided to pull it together and looked up this site. I rule.

Vile swear words have been yelled loudly in this house today, but looks like I'll be able to make it to day 3.

Hi and welcome Frrunkis

Yep this site is pretty good for grounding us in what we should do - it saved my bacon a time or two.

There's a lot of support here - glad you found us

Welcome to SR.

I was actively drinking in the Navy for 24 years, but if you have some vile swear words I haven't heard before, please pm me. I'd be curious!

Congrats on your decision to live a sober life!

I'm on my Iphone so I can't group hug. LOL!

But kudos for coming here instead of rolling wine barrels!!

Welcome to the Forum!!

There's no shortage of group hugs around these parts, something to suit all tastes and flavours of fruitiness!!

Thanks for the ever-so fruity responses, people. I could learn from your kindness, but I'm still a bit too naive for all that.

Shoved my face full of delicious sandwiches and drew a bunch of derogatory sketches while listening to my audio programs. Didn't think about drinking one bit during that time.

So from now on I'll just try to keep my schedule filled and my mind off booze.
loveyamissya, fruitbags.

After a slight trip-up I'm back on the wagon. This was expected, so I'm not really beating myself up for it. Only had 4 beers and didn't crave any more after that, so that's positive. Now trying to go for 2 weeks without.

Great attitude. I'm at the VERY beginning stages and slipped up two nights ago. The key is to dust ourselves off and get back to making good decisions. Well done Frrunkis!

Opened up to my significant other tonight, had a "quick" 20 minute "talk" about my drinking which ended up with me crying out loud like a new born baby.

I don't think I've ever been loved so much in my life. Life is looking up, and I'm a word censored by this website.

I wish I could refer my crying out loud to a newborn baby. I call mine the ugly cry!

Yeah it was mildly uncomfortable, however I'm strongly against 3 white men dancing in ritualistic circles.

Any other color / race, fair game. "JK"

I have failed yet again. In a major way.
I feel like I'm doing this for attention at this point.



I am ******* drunk.

Perhaps you could get some sleep and try again tomorrow?

Many of us have faltered.
Get some rest then figure out what more you have to do to make this stick
