No I haven’t been going to any meetings anymore. Since we moved I have the feeling I’m in a free fall. Drinking drinking drinking every night. I’m functioning well during the day and when the night comes, let’s say 5pm already my urges start. And it is getting worse every time. I’m going to a meeting today. Thought maybe even a person meeting. I will definitely do the lunch meeting online. Have not been there for months… I’m very desperate and I’m scared I will not be able to stop anymore

I’ve never been so deep in this addiction. I could always stop at least for some days but I can’t anymore… .

Oh Julia that is rough for sure. I’m sorry love. I so know that cycle well. I also know that i could not get out of that cycle by sheer will. I relied on all sorts of support. Grateful that you will be going to a meeting today. I do hope that you incorporate this to your daily routine and if possible -pour your drink of choice out.
we have missed you my friend. wishing you well and know we are here for you

You are so sweet my friend. I just poured out the leftovers I had. It’s not even 6am but I can’t sleep anymore. I still have 2 bottles that are not open yet. I need to get rid of them too. And yes meetings will help. I can’t do it by own willpower. This only lasts until 6pm tonight… God I feel so defeated.
I hope you are doing well

I have a meetings App which shows all the meetings around me. This is so helpful and there are tons of meetings every day almost every hour. And lots of them online. I have my home group but might try out others too because some of them fit the time better
So proud of you for pouring it down the drain.
Yes – get rid of the unopened bottles – no need to feel tortured at home in your safe space.
Awake at 6 – use this quiet time for yourself. Have a lovely coffee / tea and just enjoy the sun rise.
Knowing that 5ish is when the urges start - find ways to do something around this time and change up your nightly routine. have some non alcoholic drinks on hand (make pitchers of mocktails) log on here and chat with us!
I am doing well - thanks for asking. Taking it odaat. I know the struggle my freind – just do not give up on yourself. Keep showing up for yourself!

I am glad you show up again. Being honest. Maybe it helps telling in your thread how your meeting was which you will attend today.
Getting to the exit is so amn hard. But you’ve done it before and you can do it again.

I did attend my online lunch meeting. And I saw all familiar faces. I shared right in the beginning and told them I’m glad to be back. So many beautiful nice people and I got messages that they wondered how and where I am and they are glad I’m back. I managed to stay sober today. Wrote my gratitude list and now off to bed.
Good night everyone

You are so sweet. I missed you too! Yes day 1 done. Now living for the next 24 hours. I am quitting my job today. Have a new one just 5min from my home with less hours and more pay… I feel sorry for my team and I hate to tell them because I love all of them. They are really a good team and spirit. But that’s how life is. Just glad when it’s over

Good morning Julia - well now afternoon for you
Oh wow - i love everything about your new job - location, less hours and more pay! Way to go girl. I know you feel bad for the coworkers you are leaving behind – i’m sure you can still stay in touch. This is huge for you and hopefully with new home setting / new job setting and new routines you will be able to really focus on a new sober you.
Much love to you and your next 24 hours!

All I’m focusing is on the next 24 hours. That’s all we have right? I didn’t do a meeting yesterday or only one half hearted and halfway through… so I am starting again with my 24 hour plan. Reading through living sober book. I love this book. It guides you through how to stay sober.
ODAAT have a wonderful 24 hours my friend

And I’m realising I need to stay on here, need to chat need to do some actions for my sobriety. If I stay quiet I loose.
