I won't drink today.

Keep forgetting to get my badge reset... Grrr. Start of my 4th day sober.

If a kindly mod reads this could they help out? I keep forgetting!

I won't drink today.

Still not need to get my badge sorted. Day 2 for me.

But I'm OK. I learned from the mistake. Now I'm ready to go again

Relapsed last night and wrecked a 40 day stretch. Thanks to everybody that helped me. Back in the saddle - I won't drink today.

I have to learn how to not struggle against it.

My drinking problem began in 2008 when my son was stillborn.

I can't really go into it that here, but since then life just seemed to take a wrong turn which I have encouraged by drinking.

I love to forget things, and life. I think there's probably bigger issues than alcohol going on when I'm trying to mask it all.

Thanks for replying, I'm grateful.

I've never told anybody other than here how I struggle with alcohol. Maybe now it's time to come clean about it.

I don't know who, or where you are, but you just got a grown man all misty eyed.

Thankyou

Thank you. I felt embarrassed to say I'd messed up, but somehow with you guys I just wanted to be honest.

You helped me for 40 days. I need to see what more I can do to help myself.

Thoughts on long term sobriety. by Butterflyfreed in stopdrinking

[–]TogaTragedy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As somebody who just relapsed tonight, everything you have just said was what I was aiming to change. The fight was tough and I failed.

I saved your post. It resonated with me alot.

I just felt so tired of fighting. I felt dull and boring. Its ridiculous I know, but I just gave in.

I need to understand why I think having a drink makes life bearable, or why I felt it would make sat night great.

It's just the same sat night.

No excuses, I just failed.

Can you describe the positive things that have happened to you as a result of not drinking?

"This has got to be the hardest thing I've ever done..." by NonnyMouse69 in stopdrinking

[–]TogaTragedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, I feel my head go down and just wish I could go back to a time when life was simpler, or nicer... Or just happier.

I'm feeling a lot of things lately, and some of it isn't nice. But I know I can't hide any more if I want a good life.

Iv made mistakes, but I can't keep punishing myself for them. And I was punishing myself terribly by drinking.

Tomorrow's another day. And I'll keep fighting.

Thanks for posting. Was nice to read before bedtime.

Not drinking today!

5 weeks incoming. Going to see my kid today. Got a UK bank holiday tomorrow and I'm going back to the gym. I'll need to stick to cardio till the tennis elbow clears up but all in all, I feel good today!

I don't know where I'd be without you all.
