My first post. Thanks guys. Im really nervous. 2 days sober. 4th of july drank a fifth of vodka. Vomited all day yesterday. Told my daughter it was a seafood allergy. I felt so ashamed. Ive tried to quit several times, somtimes for months. I then drink a few beers, then next day a few beers and shots, then the next day i go to shots. I going to have to do this. I made it through the worst withdrawals ever. Any encourangement would be so appreciated thank you.

Hey Tony, Welcome to the Forum!!

You can do this, alcohol can be progressive, so dealing with that first drink for me is the key to my Sobriety!!

You'll find loads of support and advice here!!

Welcome to the SR family. Best way to stay sober is to want to be sober more than you want to drink. And stay away from that first drink.

Thank you guys so much. I cant tell you how much that means to me. Having people that can understand me.

Welcome,

I was in that same vicious cycle.
But like you I found this site and started using it as a tool.
That was almost a year ago. It takes work, but, well worth the effort.

Welcome Tonymblue

I found posting and reading here, every day, really helped break that cycle of feeling good again and return to drinking.

I had to accept I had a problem I needed to fix, and SR helped me with that.

I hope to see you around some more

Similar situation for me in terms if my kids. They don't deserve a parent that is sick and out if control. That was me. 35 days and I feel so much better. Those first few are awful but you can do it. Alcohol doesn't make a you a better parent in any realm. Try to remember that when your alcohol voice starts in!! Not sure if your spiritual but I was desperate early in my sponsor told me to get on my knees and pray. I did this and it helped me.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Hey bro, I'm right here with you. Took my last drink the morning of the 4th after a pretty hard relapse, laid in bed for 36 hours shaking and sweating pretty much trying not to lose my mind. I'm just getting my mind back now but I doubt I will be able to sleep for more than 1 hour intervals the next few days/weeks..

I knew after this last bender I can't do this anymore- my soul my body my mind cant take it anymore. but we have to remember how many times we have said that and felt somewhat better and said, screw it lets drink any way, have one last hurrah.. we know where that takes us every time, at least for me, every time I pick up again it leads me to the desperation and insanity of withdrawal after a long drinking binge.

So keep strong, I can't PM yet but stay on here because we are basically in the same stage right now.. anything you got to get off your mind all of us are here bro!! Just think of how awesome your life is going to be when you get sober and all the things you want to accomplish in life the bottle has been preventing you from.

BE STRONG !!

SR is a great place in all stages of sobriety, but especially as a constant companion as you quit drinking. Your patterns are not news to me; they are also mine, right down to the types and quantity of booze. Stick with us here, as you change your life for the better.

Welcome to the forum, so glad you've joined! You will find a ton of support here, from folks just like you (me included)! I've been through the hell you are in right now. It will be hard, but you can do it! The longer you stay sober, the easier it gets, I promise! I use this forum as my only support (except for my family). When it gets tough, come here and reach out. There is someone here 24/7/365. You don't have to go through this alone!
