I’m back at day 1
 

Thankful to be back. I’m so tired of the battle. This will be my Day 1.

Welcome back. I know how hard it is to pick yourself back up but I have found it to be absolutely worth the fight.

Well done for coming back.

Welcome back Oregongirlsite. Wishing you a safe and peaceful day 1 :hug:

Welcome back.

I’m so tired of the battle

Welcome back. I've been thinking so much about the above statement. I realize with such clarity how much of my life I've just been fighting. I wake up, the bell rings, and I'm in the ring, fighting. But who? What? I've mostly just been punching the crap out of myself and wondering why it hurts so much. Its like I've just chosen to live life on 'hard' mode, rather than easy.

Acceptance. Not only that I can't drink and not have terrible consequences. But of life. Of everything. Acceptance is so wide and deep. Kind of a trip. Acceptance that I can't drink can help me stop. Acceptance of everything else, including myself, helps me stay stopped.

1/7/18 is an awesome sobriety date

heres a chip for ya

You can do this!!! :)

It's so good to see you back with us! You are exhausted - and ready this time. We know you can do it, Oregongirlsite.

What a great group here. Thanks to all for much encouragement. I read on another thread that it wasn’t the 20th drink that made us drunk it was the first. I must remember that. My AV slithers in with such sweet invitations. It’ll be only wine, you can handle that...or one wine plus one bourbon (3-4 fingers) would be OK. Nuts, that voice is mine and it lies. It’s the one that makes me drunk.

I hope our support can help you get sober for good this time. :)

Day 1’s suck. I’ve had a few. Hang in there. Keep yer stick on the ice. We’re all here for you

What a beautiful gift. Thank you.

Welcome back Oregongirlsite!!

Glad you came back to us! You can do this!

well done for coming back.
Its all that matters

All my company is finally leaving as we speak. It’s been non stop chaos with adult kids here moving back to the states. Not an alcohol free zone. So I came home from work last night (9:30) and had wine. It seems that when I say I won’t its like a bull with a red flag. If you aren’t ready to show me out I will keep coming back. I have been sober before I will be again. It’s a peaceful way to live. I will report in tonight after work.
