My first day.....
 

have made a number of steps to understanding addiction and am now ready to make my move away from it.

not used this site before so I hope I can add something of value to someone

Welcome Rainbow.

thank you
plan on making lists of all the reasons why I did drink and why I don;t want to... be completely conscious of it...

have faith in myself!

Welcome! Lots of good people and information here.

welcome aboard RD!

:ring

Glad your here and I hope this forum helps you

thanks all... hope you are all well :-)

Hello Rainbow, Welcome! Here's my take --(short version). Addiction: the voice that says "feed me now and everything will be alright". Some time later we suspect this voice may be lying because everything is not alright. Recovery: Saying to that voice " you're a liar and I have no use for you in my life, Kick rocks". Then comes detox (self, medical, holistic or otherwise), then new, healthy relationship with self and other voices of reason and compassion. then, I suppose the sky is the limit but I'm only a beginner so I have to trust those who've done it longer than me.

Welcome to the Forum!! Great to have you onboard!! :wave:

Welcome to SR Rainbow! This forum and AA are the reasons I've made it to day 18. :)

Good luck, Rainbow! This site is great.

have decided to spend a good hour every morning before I get the kids up to read and explore the site.... making a big difference to me to see how much people really support each other....

makes it easier...early days but counting already!

Welcome Rainbow Dash :)

feeling really jittery this morning though....decided to clean house....

day five - think I have ghost hangover.... feel awful

I usually felt pretty awful for the first week or so.
Make sure you're eating properly and getting enough rest RD :)

Of course see your Dr if you're concerned in any way :)

thanks :-)

Day passed ok, just going out for pizza.

food does help...and lots of coffee and water

Welcome, RainbowDash. Glad you found SR. Congrats on Day 5.

did well for three weeks then it wasn't like a little voice... more like my mind had been taken over/ brainwashed.... felt very very ill after....
back on home ground now.... now i know what I'm up against, preparing.

Oh, that's too bad.

Looking always forward, we do what we need to do.

Hang on. You only fail if you stop trying.
