Slipped again

Well I blew it again yesterday.....got wine drank wine......don't know why...was just feeling very sad and alone and instead of coming here for support, like I should have, I drank. So upset with myself for doing that.....but tomorrow is another day and another beginning on this long road to freedom.

Slipped again

Thanks to all of you who responded.....I will continue to try to come to grips with this thing.....I wrote a letter to my family after this happened and I was amazed at the support I got, I was worried about that, but I did do the 5 steps and found I did discover some hidden issues......thanks again.

Problem drinking

Hi Eva,

Yes we are what is called binge drinkers...we don't always drink but when we do look out......I'm in my second month and I have found this place to be really helpful. What I found is that no one here judges you, like everyone else, because we are all the same.....we are trying to make our lives better......and by using all the tools available you can really get a perspective on yourself and your drinking......someone is always here to talk to and offer support, so use that to get started. Oh, by the way, I have slipped twice.

Problem drinking

Hi Eva....I've been in the situation where I've said no thanks and then been grilled for a half hour about why not....it was really difficult...when I said I just didn't feel like it they said NOT YOU!!!!! but eventually everyone learned to accept it and my true fiends have been congratulating me ever since. I decided to cut down and am managing to do that, with a couple of slips, so far, but my family is my biggest booster of all when I finally decided to tell them. It's been, and will continue to be, very hard but you have made that choice and by doing that YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!

New Years Resolutions

I don't have any...some one once told me not to make New Year's resolutions because you set yourself up for failure and then you feel even worse.
