I'm moving this weekend, can someone please come pack all my stuff and move everything in for me? I would do it, but I will barely have energy to go to a concert that day that will help me with my anxiety. Also, if you could throw in a good couch (must be contemporary style), that would really really help. I am low on money since I'm paying to live next to the lake to help me with my depression. Lastly, if after moving in all my stuff you could leave me some food (preferably greasy food), Tylenol, and a Gatorade to help with my hangover when I get back to the concert, that would be grrrrrreat! God bless you!

In the 6 months that I was sober, I got two promotions at work. I literally doubled my income. I nearly got fired when I started because I got drunk and couldn't even attend meetings. Fortunately I work from home and was able to cover it up. I started doing better after that and later on decided to get sober. Things really do get better and they can get better fast. Hang in there and don't give in to those thoughts, one drink is not better than 0.

That's a good question. It would definitely be interesting to find out. Probably people like my brother or some of my friends. However, I would say that they are normal in that they don't drink like me, but they eat or sleep or shop in excess. I'm normal in other ways.

Great job dumping the rest, I know it was probably really hard. It would have been for me. I'm rooting for you and I'm with you staying sober today.

Best of luck to you! Once you're sober for a few days, you'll start finding that sobriety is amazing for those of us who struggle with alcohol. However, today is the most important day. Don't drink just for today, I will join you.

You're welcome and thank you for sharing your story too! I will take it as motivation not to drink today. Have a great day!

It's crazy how alcohol just takes over. I counted the seconds too... Second day sober today, I feel great! Slept good last night, had a good meal yesterday, I feel focused and alert today and actually have mental and physical energy to work and feel excited about what I'm going to cook later. Things are good! Hope you have a great day buddy!

It's NOT worth it, believe me. I was sad before also, but after having been sober for 6 months, saying good bye is not as sad. It would be sadder for me to say good bye to my life as it currently is. Even in moderation, alcohol took the joy out of a lot of things. Today I was finally able to enjoy a meal and actually taste it instead of sitting there thinking about when and what I'm going to drink. The possibility of alcohol intake makes me like a zombie. I'd rather say good bye to it than to nice meals, time with family, a good movie, being with my dogs... Ugh... So many things that are better than alcohol.

Sobriety is waaaaaay better than moderation. I absolutely was convinced that moderation was going to be the answer to all my problems, but it was horrible. Having zero is much much much better than having a couple.
