I will post again! When I was secretly drinking I came to the website frequently and would read posts hoping that I could stop, I know others are looking at this website right now, wanting to quit. I looked in my calendar book yesterday and from January 1 to June 2 of this year I was only sober 46 days, the rest of the days I was drunk (yes, for some reason I was keeping track of my drunk days), it wasn't a case of having one drink to take the edge off, I was totally drunk. Now I'm at 101 days sober, so there is hope. I thank God for his mercy and courage to lead me to wanting sobriety more than I want to bury my emotions and problems.
