Cissy, you didn't kill it! I haven't been on since last night so I'm just reading your post.

I'm with you on not counting the days. I end up feeling proud of myself for getting x number of days and then I start drinking. This time it doesn't matter how many days, just that I'm sober now and that's my only choice. Wouldn't make a difference if it were 5 days or 50, just that I'm here

I agree 1000% with site. You didn't kill it. You nailed it. Very good post and very good advise. Your view, experience, and wisdom will benefit people.

Edit: generally speaking. Not specifically counting days. Although I don't count every day either. Today is the most important. But I do count back once in a while.

Thank you Cissy and Dee.

I'm in such a deep hole I don't see a way out. The only escape is booze or sleep, and I can't sleep.

You people think I was trying to flirt. I was just hoping to talk on the phone with anyone ANYONE who might guide me toward sobriety. I need help.

Where do you think it is, or perhaps what it is , that you don't know how to get there or find it?

Hi Frank

for everyone's safety - yours as much as anyone else - we don't encourage phoning people you don't know.

You're very welcome to use the Chat room here as well as this forum and PMs.

Talk to us - what's been happening? what's going on now?
