MissOverIt

Hi all. Back to day one. I'm bummed but climbing right back on this horse (wagon?). Here's to a sober night. Hugs.

Welcome back

Day 1 is better than day 0. Glad you're back here, MissOverIt. Like Dee said--figure out what you can do differently this time to keep you from taking that first drink when those thoughts hit.

Maybe stop in to the 24 Hour recovery Connection thread to make a daily commitment to sobriety:

Thank you all- you're so awesome. The links are very helpful. I think bottom line is that I need to be involved daily with other alcoholics. Whether it's meetings or here - I have to interact. I haven't been lately and I started to think I could be like normal drinkers. Nope. So I'm adding that to my plan as of now.

Normal drinkers aren't so much normal... they can just take or leave alcohol.

I can't. My persona changes. My metabolism drastically changes. And my body starts craving more. I can't control it. All I can do is call an intervention on myself and go through the hell of withdrawal and detox. No thanks.

I'm just as normal as someone that pours a glass of wine, drinks half, and pours the rest out before bed time. I just leave the wine part out :p
