Welcome and well said!

We all have been there, self promising that tomorrow we would stop, until tomorrow came and we repeat history.

Great job at breaking the circle!

It's great to have you here rboonie - you'll find this a friendly & encouraging place.
Not sure where I'd be without SR and the people who got me back on my feet.
Congratulations for wanting a better life - you can do it.

Still trying to figure out how the messages work, but I'll get there

I found this forum online in March and only just now plucked up the "courage" to post, it's taken me a long time to realise I don't control the drink and that it controls me.

I've lost too much of my life to it and now I need to get Sober, and I know I'm going to need help.

Welcome! You've come to a very good place for help and support. I'm glad you joined us.

This place can really help. On day 4. Day 1 i got so much support that i was so desperate for. People here understand you. I feel so empowered from them. Stay strong and you (we) can do this.

I'm glad you found us and decided to post.

Welcome! Isn't taking the first step to stop kind of a relief?

You will find lots of support and understanding here. Stick around!

Back again, still drinking but in a matter of days have cut back a little, seem to be sleeping better and for the first time in a long time got woken up by the alarm clock for work instead of sweats and feelings of panic, the only thing is I'm dreading the weekend off work because that's when I seem to do my heaviest drinking, one minute I get off on Friday afternoon and the next I'm waking up Monday morning.
Will let you know how I get on.

Tonymblue

Know exactly how you feel. Weekends are supposed to be for resting instead i would demolish myself. Pure hell. Stay strong call friends stay busy. You can do it.

rboonie1

That's another thing, friends are few and far between as I only seem to work and come home, all my relations are in UK

Do you have a plan to free up that spare time?

rboonie1

I have something planned for Saturday morning, after that it could go in any direction..

Been lurking, reading and having days of seriousness sobriety but never enough to really move forward. Tired and ready to really try for the first time. Be there for you too.

Trying to quit feels like dipping my toes in to water and thinking how deep can this be ? Is the best way I can describe how I feel right now, It's not going to be easy me thinks.
