Hey everyone, I don't know if you remember me but I was here awhile ago. It's fair to say I fell off the wagon and I'm back here to give things another try.

My life is in a better place than when I last was here and although I'm not sure of all the details yet, I hope to put together a plan that will help me get through this day by day. I'm honestly scared I can't do this, I've tried so often. All I can say is right now, today, I'm not drinking

Welcome back! I can relate to that feeling of being scared that you can't do this. Stay close to your support system -- for me this community was extremely uplifting and helped me thru some very difficult days. You can do this.

Anyone can do it. It's a one-time decision and then that decision is backed up with anything and everything necessary to keep that promise.

Stay off the drink for a while, then start working at whatever there is in life that is scary or unmanageable. We all have to work at it every day, but the payoff is huge.

Yeah I'm just focusing on today right now, it's all I can manage.

That's right. Put your head on the pillow tonight without having had a drink and you are a success.

I know how you feel. I'm only day 3...having trouble with the cravings, mostly psychological need. Physically I'm o.k.

Thanks everyone and funnily enough I was just looking at the recovery plans thread mere moments before I noticed you mention it =)
