Attempting to quit again Hi all, I have realized that alcohol and cigarettes are interfering with my life in a rather negative manner. This is my umpteenth attempt to get sober. And I hope I can finally achieve what I am setting out for. I will be using this page to track my progress each day, by checking in and updating on my sobriety. It's just a little under 24 hours that I haven't drank or smoked. Needless to say, the withdrawal has kicked in and I don't feel very good at the moment. Anywho, nice to meet you all and I hope we can continue on this journey together for many years to come! :) |
Welcome - hang in there! |

Welcome :grouphug: |
Nice to see you here. Bob |
Pippo. Welcome to the site. I can relate. I have quit so many times I probably have a year with out drinking for the first week. Some reason I can't stay quit. A friend once told me it is easy to quit but staying quit is the hard part. That is so true for me. I keep trying to get that first day again. Thanks for coming here and sharing what is going on with you. asixstringnut |
Closing in on 48 hours. Feeling a lot better, but not quite 100% just yet. Thank you everybody, for the warm welcome to the forums. :) |
:grouphug: Coming here every day has helped me so much! I think just admitting it to people made it real for me. Plus, it helps that there are people here that care whether I am sober or not and provide positive reinforcement for my continued effort to stay clean. |
Welcome to the Forum Pippo!! :wave: |

D The only plan that I have when it comes to dealing with cravings is to remind myself of the nasty things I have done / encountered while under the influence. Not to mention, the 3 day hangovers (one of which I just got out of- so the memory is quite fresh) where I am quite literally- a zombie. If the above won't keep me from bashing myself up again, I'm not really sure what will. I cannot live like that anymore. More importantly, I don't want to. |
Hi Pippo, I'm with you about remembering the bad times. I wondered what on earth people were going on about with the plan thing, but finally realised that my life was a lot easier when I thought out before I got into situations what I was going to say or do. |
Hang in there. You're a couple of days ahead of me, as I'm on day 1 of what are usually 3 day hangovers for me as well. Stick with it--keep posting. I'm going to try to post daily too for at least the first month. |
