Sober now and feeling like s*** but ready now. sorry for posting drunk last night, but so grateful for the replies, There is now no alcohol at all in the house. I was so used to supply being brought in every night and last week I drank whiskey lager and anything else that was lying around. I hate lager and whiskey, but I guess thats how bad I got. I need help , I'm sticking around this time, I need to learn how to live as an adult without alcohol. Wake up call to have no one to blame now. x

Hello Mrs Lamp

An extra bulb for you although it looks like you've already seen the light

MrsLamp

Thanks for support, appreciated much, so down just now at thought of tonight but I know I'll get through. Just back from shops and didn't go near the alcohol aisle and I wont be going out again. I'll stay on here thanks.

Yay for your day 1! Just hold on through the first few days. I had terrible withdrawals and insomnia. Going to the grocery would give me so much anxiety. But I'm on day 11 and it gets much better, physically especially. I no longer look longingly at the shelves of wine and beer because I know it's literally poison to me. Its just my makeup.

Way to go on day 1! It does seem like you are able to get through the first few days, and then the wheels fall off the proverbial cart. Maybe we can help you plan ahead for when feelings start to surface? I think the February class is a great place to start over.

MrsLamp

Hi PalmerSage, exactly what you said, got to day 3 last week then started to notice feelings surfacing, it was easier to drink. I have to learn to deal with this, I know this. thanks again.

Great job pouring out all the booze! I know that isn't easy. My last relapse i came home from detox to find dozens of bottles (some still full) laying around my place. It took all the courage i could muster to dump them all out, bag them up and drive them to the recycling center. I keep that feeling fresh in my mind whenever i feel like i need a drink.
