Thanx guys for caring. This app is really cool. I feel so much closer to all of you although I donāt even know you in person. Iām doing good. At work now. Fine. But had to reset and Iām on day 1 again. I actually donāt really know if Iām ready for all of this and thatās why I wanted to leaveā¦

None of us are ever sure if we are ready because itās scaryā¦but finally you come to realise that the alternative is much scarier. Iāve been on and off here since last year but the more I stay on and read peopleās stories and see peopleās progress the more it has sunk in for me. Both what CAN be achieved and also the harsh reality of what CAN happen if we continue to bury our heads in the sand. Iām more determined this time than ever. Primarily down to this forum and a lot of honesty and soul searching within myself and with concern for my daughter. I hope you stay at it. I started this time round 3 weeks ago and did have one relapse but got back on it. Normally with a relapse I would just give up again but I came on here and took advise and it really made a difference. Stay here work on your self worth and message any time you feel tempted. We all care. Have a hug from Northern Ireland and shoulders back and on with your day xx
P.Sā¦when are any of us ever ready x

Hey you are right. And coming here has helped me a lot I know this. With my right mind in place I Know exactly whatās good for me. And I know how happy I am when Iām sober. How good I sleep. How much energy I have. How beautiful life is. But then comes the night and I feel so lonely with all my feelings. And instead of coming here and talk to you guys I grab a glassā¦

Well tonight when you are about to do that. STOP. come on here. Do what was advised to me ā¦play the tape forwardā¦you know how it will end and itās not good.the next day you will be depressed lethargic and feeling shame. I donāt want that for you. Ride the wave when the craving hits. It WILL pass. Good luck. Maybe hear from you tonight when you would normally lift a glass ?

Hi Iām in Northern Ireland and itās actually s beautiful sunny day today for a change !! Itās just after 10am and Iām trying to motivate myself to cut the grass 
Thanx for caring Natalie
Well that grass isnāt going to cut itself and the smell and satisfaction you get after is tough to beat so if not already get out there. Yikes thatās as tough as place as anywhere in the world to stay sober I bet. Itās pretty embedded into the northern Ireland culture isnāt it?

Nah itās a beautiful place to live. Things have changed so much in the last 20 years. I loved it here just wish we had more sunshine !! I would always recommend people visit ! In rural areas the landscape is similar to New Zealand. Itās no harder to stay sober here than anywhere else .
And the grass MIGHT cut itself if the grass fairies appear !!
