Day 1

After a very long battle with alcohol abuse (8 years) i have committed myself to staying sober. The downward spiral started out rather "innocently" and just deteriorated from there. As unpleasant as it is to confront the traumas and abuse which have led to my addiction and self destructive behaviour patterns and self abuse i'm excited to start this journey of healing, self discovery and rebirth. The process for me starts with love and forgiveness of myself and building a healthy balanced life.

Congratulations on your decision to quit. You've found a great place for support.
Yes, forgive yourself. There's no use in beating yourself up about the past when you have a great alcohol free life in front of you.
Best to you.

Ashamed to say i stumbled and am back to Day 1 again. having said that I'm not giving up and accepting defeat and will continue to get back on my feet every time rather then accept failure as my fate. Thank you for your support i think that had i been able to check peoples replies yesterday it would have really helped keep me on track. I guess I'm still learning as reaching out to people is new to me.
