been sober 4 days. Been really good. Planning a new start out of town and move away in two weeks. I have 2 days where I am alone now and can drink. I can't stop the cravings if someone reads this soon respond with something that will make me think of something else. I stopped 4 days ago after the paramedics took me to hospital after a bender on drink and sleeping pills.
Maybe just writing this will make it real and I won't touch anything
good luck to anyone that hooked
still there ?
Please READ THIS...DON'T DO IT!!!
It's not worth it. Write back and I'll talk to you all night long if I have to to keep you straight.

So glad U didn't do it, you would of been really dissapointed with your self its just not worth it you never get away with it you pay the price some how. keep on in there just for today. Debbie ukxx
thanks for checking in. so many post and are not heard from again.
val, you don't have to rely on your will power alone to make it through the day and there are so many recovering alcoholics out there, there's no reason to go through those craving hours alone. if you were severely hurt in a car wreck, would you call for help or treat yourself ?
get connected and stay connected. talk to us or somebody. try not to isolate.
it's an illness that you're are facing. treat it like one.
god bless paramedics.

Thanks again for the support of you all. I guess some of you if not all know how much it can help.
Still sober, this is the longest in 3 years! I drink tonic water like its going out of fashion, my new habit!
I'm finally facing all the things that made me drink and dealing with them so I don't go back. So many people now know that didn't and to have all there support is awsome. I emigrated out of the UK years ago so family and old friends had no idea. To get 3 or 4 people calling each am from the otherside of the world telling me to hang in is like the best drink I could ever have.
To all those that answer thank you. To anyone reading these that needs a lift drop me a line. We are all in this together.
Cheers

Once one contemplates whether there's a chemical issue or not it's there to stay 'til it's addressed. Accept it & face it.It's actually a rather enlightening place to be to a degree. Total appreciation of a clean breath. No drug will ever provide its equal. And that buzz will only grow. Builds upon itself. Take a look at that. Easier said than done. Don't have the answers as I'm just embarking on this myself, but I really think understanding that's good ground to be on. Find it, feel it & breath it every second.
No time like the present. Not much of a believer in luck, but if it's out there I hope it finds you. I prefer rather to think chance favors the prepared mind. Make it happen.

Hi
The thing that you need to understand is that you don't need to do it alone.
There are all sorts of individuals, groups of people, who are there for you, but you have to make that first step, Pick up that phone. I too was scared when I took the first step, no one says that you have to go to meetings alone.
Isolation is the worst thing for you. You need to connect with someone who has gone through all the same feelings, thoughts that you a are feeling right now.
This is only a sugestion : G to a AA metting, meet some peolpe who shae the same experiences. AA is not religion, I am not a religious person, nr would I push religion on anyone.
It's a good place to vent, share your felings, connect, or even just listen.
A friend of mine reminds me
"Religion is for people who do not want to go to hell, sprirituality is for those of us who have already been there. "
take that first step, make that call.
wishing you another 24hrs

I hope that you are ok. Theres nothing worse than feeling like you are all alone but believe you me you couldnt be further from the truth. There are so many people willing to help someone in your situation.
Good luck for the future. I know for a fact that if you were to brake down and have a drink you would kick yourself for it later.
