A line in the sand

Today I need to draw a line in the sand once again. Today I will not drink.

Welcome, LittleJohn! You can do this and SR is a great place for advice and encouragement with people who really get it. I come here several times a day and it has really helped me in getting and staying sober. I thought I was a hopeless case, but now I'm on my 23rd month of sobriety. Wishing you the best in your sober journey.

I will never drink again, and I will never change my mind.

Failed, try again

In the morning I am certain my life would be better without alcohol, by late afternoon I have changed my mind.

I am almost 50, still have my health, good friends and family, good job, nice house, etc. But, I drink a bottle of wine a day and eat too much sugar/salt. It effects my mood and I feel shame, every day.

I have quit and started again so many times. Tried many things that worked for a while, then didn't. I am not giving up on giving up but I wonder if I will ever sustain sobriety for more than a couple of months.
