I am about to go to, um away, and I need to be sober for these final proceedings, and would like to not fail to / or not strangle the prosecutor during plea negotiations in open court.

So I think my day one will be about 19 beers and 573 cigarettes from now.
I think that is what is in the pipeline on hand.
Will be no discussion from me after this post until I come back sober.

This I will do.
I said I will do this.
I will do this.

I appreciate the support but request that no one waste a bunch of time responding. I won't be back until I am sober.

We come and go, and there are others that need your time.
We will see.

Good wishes to all of you that are in a similar boat, we might just make it.

Nice post.

You sound brave and bright.

I am sure you will be able to check in from...jail?

You might find a good recovery programme is available in prison. I wish you well.

I wish you didn't feel you have to drink those 19 beers and smoke those cigs but I guess that's a done deal now.

Welcome aboard SSG

I hear prison gives you the ability to stay sober for the most part, let us know how that goes...

Hey SSG976, I saw from your other posts that you said this is a "good place to come for support"
It definitely is. the simple fact that you took the time to sign up and make a user name and post is a sign that you want to be better. It sounds like you are really angry right now and have some legal stuff to deal with.

I would definitely recommend being sober for your final proceedings- showing up drunk or high will NOT help.
I would also recommend not attempting to strangle to prosecutor during the proceedings.

You are going to have to ride this one out. A stint in jail or prison will surely suck but it will also give you the opportunity to get and remain sober for an extended period of time- a gift if you can look at it that way. I would suggest, as others have mentioned above, to ask about sobriety or recovery resources available to you during your stay. Not only will it help you overcome a problem you are looking to fix, but it will look good to the judge when considering early release, probation, etc.

It takes a strong man to look his problems square in the eye and deal with them head on. Sober up!

Thanks all,
I am sober and this is my day 1.
I did not have 19 beers so I was done sooner.

I will be fine on the detox having been going a few days drinking and then a week
sober. This of course right now is a critical time to not get any alcohol as I feel a horrible failure mentally and am sweating and what not physically. It will pass.

Coffee and cigarettes (hey one thing to quit at a time) and then water, juice, gatoraide and food.

I am not new to quitting, and also not new to the fact of having no control once I drink. Starts right back where I left off, progressive.

Good luck with the legal issues SSG976. I'm glad you're here.

Just sitting here looking at the screen, feeling pretty low. I know it will
get better as the days go. Right now though, one moment at a time. I am
shaking a little. I have not worked in a week or so.

Tomorrow will be another day, that will be better than this.
Just so I don't drink. Been raining all day but the sun is starting to come out.
