Chicks recovery thread.... end date 4.13.15
 

Hi all....
I've been around for nearly a year. I've gone a long way towards not drinking. My longest stint has been 4 months October through February. Obviously I haven't been able to kick the beer to the curb yet.
So. Sigh, I am posting just after my last beer. (Sorry for posting while drunk).
I am ready for all of the help you all can give. I plan to be accountable in this thread. I will listen and try suggestions. I don't see myself going to AA..... but I am really totally ready to quit drinking.
:a108:

A thread is a good idea Chick - look at the recovery plan thread tomorrow.
Start working out what you are prepared to do, right now, to make this stick :)

Hi Chick! Good to see you!! :wavey:

Thanks Dee! :hug:

Everyone else... please be gentle with me
.. I really take things to heart and I'm worried what I will wake to. :hug: to all of you also. I really am so glad for your support.

Hey sweetie! Good to see you too! Hope you are doing well! :hug:

Edit... goodness I thought I quoted you... can't even do that....
I'm going to grab some ice water and head to bed.

Ice water sounds delicious! Have a good night Chick and see you in the AM for some planning. You can do this!!!

Ok soooo.... note to self. Getting ready for bed drunk really sucks. It's not a pleasure to wash your face and brush your teeth drunk. And tonight I know I am lucky I even bothered.
I know this is something I will be happy to do tomorrow night.
Im in bed headed towards sleep.
My mouth still tastes of beer. :(
I pray for the courage to face you all in the morning.

No judgement here. Please let us know how you are doing tomorrow :).

You can do this ChickChick

We are here for you. Next time you feel like taking the action of picking up a drink, come here and TALK to us first.

We're all here to help each other.

You can do this. :)

I am so glad to see you starting a thread Chickchick to help you achieve sobriety. :hug:
Have you looked at what thoughts or feelings were going through your head when you picked up? Did you have a plan in place for dealing with the cravings?

How are things Chick? :)

I'll be looking out for your first new post. :hug:

Hey ChickChick, you're most likely being harder on yourself today than anything you anticipated finding here. I felt wretched the day I found SR and someone posted to me that I never had to feel that way again. That gave me a spark of hope when I had none. You don't have to feel this way again either friend.

I too look forward to your next post.

Don't beat yourself up. Learn from, get back on the horse.

Chickchick,

I hope you get on sr and read this thread in the morning and see how many of us really want you to be sober and happy.

I did something similar to you on my last relapse, I wrote in my journal how it felt to be drunk, how much I hated it.

Today is a brand new day. You will have time to rehydrate. Treat yourself kindly. Eat good food. You can make a plan, you can do this.

You got this Chick! I'm rooting for you!

Thinking of you this morning Chickchick. :hug: You can do it!!
