New day 1...

After having posted here very drunk last night, things I am reluctant to look back at, I'm on a new day 1. And I think looking back isn't the right thing to do anyway, better to look forward.

I was in a deeply bad place yesterday and the things that did get through to me did help and made me feel better. Even with a six-pack of beer left over, drinking is the last thing I want. In a week of binging, my life has fallen apart and it's time to rebuild. Starting tomorrow. I'm currently so horribly hung over that I'm going back to bed.

I will get into contact with my doctor again. And get help.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm not even sure if I did. But in case I did, I apologize. It was obviously my fault.

Ok, back to bed to sleep off this dreadful hangover. It seems like they get worse as you get older and they last longer.

Back on track!

Glad you're here, Jerry.

Hope you'll post in here this time before you take that first drink. Give us a chance to help you help yourself.

And you should dump that six pack immediately.

Welcome back Jerry. I'd highly recommend getting rid of that six pack of beer before you go back to bed while it's still repulsing to you. If you really want this to be your day 1 go all in.

Totally agree with Scott & Casey

Defenitly get rid of the 6 pack empower your sobriety pouring that poison away

If you havnt got a plan get a plan it will help keep you accountable and keep you motivated with a structured plan you improve your chances tenfold think about aa mtns or secular smart meetings

journaling, reaching out, group therapy, seeing a dr regulary there is so much you can help yourself with and JF your not alone drinking is **** its making you feel **** remember this **** so you never have to feel **** again

SR is here for you but you have to want it more than feeling **** drinking

if you ever want to talk you can drop a msg you can do this Jerry and i have complete faith in your recovery

Add me to the congratulations and to stay positive I think that far from offending anyone you put a few of you underlying issues out there which is helpful to people in understanding your situation

You can definitely do this

This makes me happy Jerry. I was quite sure you'd be back with a new attitude & more motivation. I agree, there is no doubt you can do this.

Hangovers . . .

It seems like they get worse as you get older and they last longer.

Yep, that's one of the downsides of growing older.

I think that's why I've never seen a keg party in a retirement home. Heavy drinkers don't make it that long.
