^Here is the link that I put on your Day 3 thread. Have you tried going to a meeting yet? I know you said you were shy, but you can just go and listen if you like. You don't have to speak. I really encourage you to give it a go!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Hi Mickelina,
Looks like you've been not trying for too long to quit now, but there's one question I must ask you. How are you planning on trying. One thing is for certain, doing it on your own won't get you anywhere. You need outside help, like a therapist, which is working wonders for me, or the AA, for instance.
Aside from help, any kind of help, you need to really want to quit.
Willing to try again is a first step in the right direction, just do it the right way and that implies forgetting will power and taking care of matters in your own hands. Seek help, right here at SR is a rather good start.
Good luck for you.
Love - Pedro

Hey Girl !!
I am on my 4th day right now and yep it sux. Maybe you can start over and we can do this at the same time. I kind of think it was an advantage (as horrible as it was) that I started feeling crummy on the weekend because those are my "party hard with all my "friends" days" and I didn't feel like doing anything at all.
It helped me just talking to everybody here and tuning everything else out. I figured out how to do stuff on the pc I'd never knew how to do before(like put a pic of me and Kip in a folder on here and be able to send it out) just to keep busy. I don't know enough to give you any advice other than how I have made it this far.
Keep comming back...where else can you be really grumpy during detox and everybody just look over it and support you anyways?

you made it 4 days and you can make it many more just by doing it one day at a time. keep on quitting and don't let this get you down. pick yourself right back up and keep on trucking right along. keeping walking forward and don't look back.

Yes it was cool. I really didn't know what I was doing so it took forever and it really killed some time which I am starting to find out is the best way to get through this. I will go and look at the smilies..It'll give me something to do today..Thanks Carrie

Hi mickelina,
I have a little over 100 days today, but it took many attempts to get this far. Don't kick yourself for not making it right away after drinking for so long. I, too, drank for a long time (about 15 years or so). I have found AA to be the thing that works best for me, but it is not the only way to do this I have heard. You might try an AA meeting and see if it is for you. Regardless of which path you choose, keep dusting yourself off when you fall, get back up and start trudging in the right direction. The right direction is whichever way points you to sobriety, happiness and some peace of mind. You will make it and you won't believe how good it is to be sober finally. It is so worth it to keep up the fight.
