Hi folks. As always very sorry to let you down. I'm drinking today but after this day I decided to give it a full stop.

I've been through some antagonizing times lately, and I mean VERY mean times, in my perspective. The drinking doesn't even help, it just numbs and gives a stupid feel.

Joining in again tomorrow... Life's pretty much a wreck, can't pay rent, or can given certain situtations... but anyway... have a nice sober day everyone, I'm hopping on the wagon soon. I know it's the best choice.

Feeling powerless is awful. Any ideas how you can reclaim some control? I think that will help a lot. And reclaiming that control will be much easier without alcohol. Best of luck when you resume sobriety.

UnixBer..so great that you are posting....you are right alcohol does not work for us at all...I am so pleased you will be back and joining us in sobriety...you offer so much insight and value.
Hold your head high and know you have got this...Here's to day one.

It sounds like it's time for a change, UnixBer.

I found that my life was truly better when I stopped drinking; glad you are thinking the same.

Hi Unixber, nice to meet you.

Firstly although I am new here I think everyone would agree that you're not letting anyone on this board down, and no one is disappointed with you. If we could all make a complete break into permanent sobriety what a wonderful world it would be eh.

Unfortunately our troubles can cause us to regress back into drinking, it is basically an anaesthetic for your feelings... But I'm sure you know this already. It's really inspiring to see that you recognise no good will come of it..

I hope we will meet on here in better times for you... And stay positive.

Eddie.

Unix, you have my support. What has been happening that is causing you to want to relapse? You have had a few attempts this year at sobriety and what happens that makes you slip back? I hope the best and you can make it work this time. What are you going to do different?

There's no better day than today to start a better way of life in recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers, UnixBer. Hope you'll make active participation here on SR a part of your recovery plan.

Not sure when "tomorrow" is for you Unix but I certainly thing stopping again sounds like a great idea. Hope you can check back in soon.

Welcome back Unix!!

Welcome back Unix... happy to hear you are stopping drinking.

Finding the root of the problem maybe helpful... why do you drink? Is there an underlying problem? For me, it was clinical depression and anxiety that was never treated... and by me making an appointment with an addiction psychiatrist has made a HUGE difference.

Wishing you the very best!

I remember you Unixbear, glad to see you back. Take care of yourself.

Thanks everyone for your kind replies. Today is day 1 off the booze and I've made up my mind about this. I'll go through what recovery brings and stick to sobriety. Drinking never brought me any good, disaster it did, because it confuses people etc.

So one more soul to the sober gathering.

Good luck on a new beginning, it is always good to hear an honest take on why booze is so evil for us and so damn tricky.
