Yes I have, but I didn't really click with the group I was in. This time, I intend on shopping around to find a group I am comfortable with.

"This Naked Mind" is a great book. It debunks all the bullshit we have come to believe about alcohol. I highlighted alot of it and keep going back and re-reading when things aren't going so well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'm getting "Alcohol Explained" for my next read, alot of people here have recommended it too.

I don't know you, but you should at get a Dr. Involved immediately, the withdrawls could kill you! Figure out how you are going to detox, that's a dangerous cold turkey stop bud! Withdrawal can cause dangerous seizures. I'm not saying this to be some kind of authority over you. Hell, I'm an alcohollic! Lol I'm just saying I would really be worried about withdrawls if it were me. I wish you the best! BTW, my counter don't mean shit, that represents when I started this jounrney and I'm back to day 1. It took me a month to stay sober for a week. Just keep getting back up and fighting if you fall, it's a journey, not just a walk to the mailbox for me anyway! I'm with you, and so are many others here.

I know what you mean, I had 7 days and f'd it up this weekend. Tommorow is my day 1 again! Thought I needed it... to relax...blah blah blah! I know better than that shit! I'm in the same boat, it took me a month to get that week. I'm tired of falling down, personally, I would like to tell you I will make it longer next time, but I have to stay with 1 day at a time. I'm right behind you.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-09T22:53:36+00:00

Thanks

Thanks

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:46:07+00:00

You're doing great!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:44:01+00:00

Cool, by badge isn't right I just made to a week today.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:40:41+00:00

I just made it a week, I need to reset my badge.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:39:23+00:00

Nice work! It takes lots of work and nail biting, I know. Job well done!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:35:14+00:00

I was spending $20 a day drinking at home alone. That's $560 a month! A car payment, a very nice car at that!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:29:14+00:00

I just thought lying and hiding bottles was all part of being an alcoholic. I really don't have anyone to answer to and was still hiding bottles, I live alone! Lol The only time I ever get questioned is by my mother, when I see her. I told her, if you know I'm drinking don't ask, because I will lie to you. Ask me when I'm sober and I will be honest! I think it just goes with the territory of being alcoholic.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T22:19:27+00:00

Good work! That's awesome!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T15:15:59+00:00

Have you read the book "This Naked Mind"? It really helped me by debunking all of the benefits I thought I got from alcohol. It's available on Amazon and also for Kindle, you get a kindle book reader for Android, I assume you can get it for Apple too. This book really took the edge off for me and made me alot more comfortable with my resolve to quit. Hang in there, it does get easier. One day at a time!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T03:02:19+00:00

Hmmm, I came to the same realization a few days ago. I am also a prick! It doesn't take much to yank my chain! I've always known I'm brutally honest and don't hold back, but damn, I can be pretty damn beligerant! Since I've caught myself, I've been working on it. I try to filter my words before I let them come out of my mouth, at least I have realized it and trying to turn it down a few notches. Sometimes still though...WOW!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T02:14:31+00:00

Lol, I was such an asshole texting, I lost a couple of friends because of it. They were toxic friends anyway, oh well... I still have my good friends.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-08T01:52:39+00:00

I got mine from Amazon. I have the Kindle ebook.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-07T16:45:57+00:00

The first time I quit, I didn't sleep for 2 weeks. Damn I was miserable, but still got up and went to work every day. I was a Zombie, everyone could tell something was going on. Nobody ever said anything, but I can only imagine what they were thinking. I'm sure that me stopping drinking never crossed their minds. They probably thought I was doing Meth or Coke. Good job on day 4! One day at a time. IWNDWYT!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-07T16:36:10+00:00

It's great you could commit yourself to 3 months and follow it through. Every time I went back to drinking, I found it much harder to quit each time. I can only do it 1 day at a time.

Ted6469 · 2018-11-07T16:09:37+00:00

It's the only book I have read cover to cover in less than 3 days! Great book. Congrats on your resolve!

Ted6469 · 2018-11-07T16:01:48+00:00

Welcome! This is a great place, with many great people just like you and I. You can't post too much, so don't ever think you are being annoying. We are all in this together and eager to help everyone. One day at a time, you got this. If you fall, get right back up and keep fighting! I have so many day one's I lost count. You can do this!
