Really need to stop drinking

Gone ok so far. Goods nights sleep. Got up had vitamins, and a glass of water. Yoghurt fruit oats and a cuppa for breakfast.

Then showered went to town looking for a few eBay flips. Did okay and picked up a few pastries for my kids.

Now sat watching Dr who with then and a glass of coke and crackers with sliced tomatoes on.

No booze in house and quite content just sat here :slight_smile:

Awesome! Enjoy your movie!

Doing great mate. If your feeling cravings, come on here, read around the different topics. I found listening to sober podcasts helpful when I was driving about on my own.
The cravings don’t last, and every one you make it through makes your resolve stronger for the next time.

Approaching the completion of day 6. It’s been good. Tried to be healthy, walks with the kids, lots of TV.

Now have the kettle on for a cuppa and going to treat myself to a bacon sandwich

Sounds good and yummy! Take strength from how far you’ve already made it, and how much better it feels to be sober and present. If a craving hits, ride it out, come talk to us or talk to someone else, get out of the house for a walk, get on to an online meeting… Do anything and everything necessary to protect your sobriety. This is key in early days.

Approaching 1 week. Feeling amazing. I know its 1 week but i’m proud of myself. I put my healthy(ish) eating and family first, did a few things, and enjoyed my weekend drink free.

Back to work this morning and happy that i feel like i had a weekend not wasted.

Thank you for your support but one day at a time.

AA has loved me back to life. Given me hope. A fellowship of fellow alcoholics. But most of all a plan of action to stay sober and be a better person.

If you don’t like it, you get a full refund on all your misery. :rofl:

Hi @printerman
I hope you feel a bit better. I’m here just two days ago… I don’t know what to say in this moment because I’m in a similar situation like you. I only know that we are here for a big propose with ourselves and we can walk together if you want.
Big hugs :heart::pray:

how are you doing today @printerman ?

I’m doing really well @Sadie79 @erntedank had a good day working from home. Day flew by, had chilli for tea with the family and now in bed relaxing before work tomorrow.

@Sadie79 good luck, it can be hard at first but try to keep yourself on track and avoid the things that make you use.

You got this! Just stay focused one day at time. Use your tools, what did you last weekend? Wasn’t it nice not drinking it away.

@Von100 it was great, you are so right. It was i felt so good the monday morning with no hangover for work.

I have a few more items a want to list on ebay. Need a bit of work, lots of photos so that should keep me occupied for a bit. Also need to do some xmas shopping and promised myself i’d pick the running up again.
