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!

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.

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.

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.
