I'm glad you posted. It took me a while to finally get this right, I promise you sobriety is worth it.
How are you doing tonight?

The first step of AA is "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable."
Sounds like you might be ready to check out an AA meeting. When I finally admitted I was an alcoholic, I decided, what the hell, I might as well go to AA. It was a good decision on my part.

It gets easier once you Know what the problem is. I drank for decades and often quit for a few days then would feel better so why not have a few? Until you admit your alcoholic it's just too easy to drink again once things get a little better. It is the only disease that tells you you don't have it.

Glad you are posting happywithme! Having a huge dose of acceptance that I'm an alcoholic and cannot drink REALLY helped me. I'm a true alcoholic and I cannot control my alcohol intake at all! Glad you are here

I am only into the end of day three, but I see this site
like that. I don't know anybody here personally, but
I do feel accountable to them. Also because most if
not all are in or trying to be in recovery, there is no
jugement or criticism of your problem, just people
who can understand what it is like.
This is why I have never admitted to anyone I know
that I am an alcoholic. I would just be criticised and
looked down upon.
Stay here and visit regular!!
ATB,

I went for a short 5 mile hike this morning at sunrise, and feel great. The air was cool, the mountains and trees were beautiful. It was a great reset.

What is your plan, along with using SR? What about going to an AA meeting?
Remember- start with not drinking just for today.
