Last time I logged in was 2 years ago, wow. I signed up in 2010. So I basically knew I had a problem 6 years ago. Not gonna post too much tonight, just gonna read the forums. Lots of problems in the last year, all due to alcohol. I was wondering how to make a name change, wanna start fresh I guess? Having 5 drinks tonight(I know what everyone is going to say, pour it out). Was in the hospital last year, after doc told me to not stop all at once. Hopefully works out better this time, I hope Im done this time.

Hopefully you have given some thought about getting through tomorrow.
You've made a good decision.
Sometimes it takes a little while to be prepared - I am pulling for you. Let us know how you are doing.

Welcome back. I'm new to SR and on Day 8, but like you I've known I am an alcoholic and have been actively trying and failing to stay sober for at least 2 years now. Every time I've been motivated and have a little time under my belt, something seems to happen ---positive like a promotion, or negative, like a horrible accident for my niece--but life gets in the way. Not this time and never again, because the thing is that being drunk doesn't make those things go away or be easier to adjust to. It makes it so much harder and stressful and depressing. And it's right there staring you in the face when you sober up, along with an addiction that has taken over everything you used to be. I really hope you wake up in the morning, read what you wrote tonight, and do what you so desperately want to do. A victory for any of us is a victory for all of us, and you not drinking tomorrow is just that--a victory. Wishing you the best.

You might want to get help from your doctor to get safely thru withdrawal. Alcohol w/d can be dangerous.

I hope this time you can get sober for good.

Thanks everybody, will post a lot more tomorrow, will try to make it day one. Going through the older threads right now, like 2001. Wont need doctors help this time, didn't drink all day. Just bought some before it closes. Friday, was so depressing at work, usually I'm like YAAAA its Friday. But I cant stand the thought of another, massively hungover Monday.

I'm glad you're back and planning Day 1 tomorrow.

Don't hesitate to call your dr if you have any concerns.

Welcome back

A plan can make all the difference I think:

The difference for me this time is that I firmly believe, in the depths of my soul, in the corners of my heart, and in the hardness of my head, that I can never drink again. I am not like other people. I have tried every single way possible to drink successfully and it is impossible. How I finally accepted this simple fact-I don't know. I do know that I did not come to this conclusion on my own. Something planted a seed and nurtured it and it grew.

I hope this helps. I now live my life instead of exist in it.

Good luck to you and many blessings.
