Welcome Bobbieka!
Your experience resonates with me and I believe you'll find a lot of camaraderie in this site. Of all the benefits I've realized in sobriety, not having to be dishonest and working in secret all the time has been one of the greatest. Drinking is a lonely business.
Welcome.
Jonathan

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks. I keep wondering why? What changed? Back in October I made it just over a week, but part of that time I was in the psych ward, so I'm not sure it counts.
It's not like I haven't wanted to quit before. But if I'm completely honest with myself, I wasn't ready to give up my alcoholism. It was mine, a part of me. I'm sure that sounds strange. I was drinking when I wrote my first post. It still took me 4 days to quit.
Maybe it's SR. Maybe it's the meds. maybe it's because I was close to losing my family. I don't care. I'm just glad something finally clicked.
I love SR. The messages, the replies, the patience. I am amazed at the support. I found you on accident. Lucky me.
Have a great day, evening, sleep, wherever you are. Hopefully, next week, I can say I am still racking up days.
For today, I will not drink.

Bobbieka,
Thank you for telling your story--much of which I can relate to--especially the feelings of despair and hopelessness.
Congratulations on two weeks--it will get easier and easier! You are strong!
