Just thought I'd say that there isn't much action on this site...are there any still practicing alcoholics or recovering alcoholics out there? Check in, what's going on?
I think that there are probably alot of alcoholics posting on different categories bc alot of them use other drugs too. I am an alcoholic, but i am an addict as well. I could be wrong, who knows? Hope that everyone is okay.
Love and God Bless,
Briana :)

Hello VW Girl and everyone else,
Well I have been busy working keeping myself occupied etc,
I am SIX MONTHS tomorrow without a drink, and feel good about it!
Very cold here in Brisbane Australia today, like winter time in NZ,
How is it in Sydney Loinel?
Better go take care

Hi Kristen, I am a recovering alcoholic/addict. I have 19 monthes now and check the alcohol board from time to time. I should check in more often but seems there is not too much posting here. I usually am on the pain pills forum as I am a pill addict as well. I go to AA, and it saves my butt..lol Life is good today, I still have bad days but I use the tools I have learned to help me stay clean and sober. Anyway just wanted to pop on and say hi to you....my email is at the bottom ..feel free to email me anytime..talk to you soon...take care....
Good Morning Briana, Ginge & Gina, Thanks for the replies. I'm glad everyone is doing okay. I ended up in the ER Friday night and haven't been feeling that good. I'm on the mend now but still can't sleep very well that's why I'm on the board at 2:30 am my time! I post over on the Crack/Cocaine site as well...but this is for Briana ~ boy, I see all the posts over on the Pain Pill site, however my sister who turned me on to this board posts over there so I give her some space and she gives me mine (on this board)...anyhoo, thanks again everyone. I haven't been to a meeting in three days and that's a long stretch for me, so thankfully I have this forum to go to for some recovery and solution...I've also been reading my AA literature and reaching out to others by phone calling, my boyfriend also is on the Program so he has been popping over and checking on me and talking "Program" with me...my Sponsor was out of town all weekend but I was able to stay close to her by phone...thanks again everyone. Peace & Serenity, VWGirl

Mainly a lurker, but post every now and again.
Sober, but everyday is a struggle. I just think about how badly alcohol has &*(&(^&*%&$$#%@$@%&**(ed up my life and that keeps me from the first one.

no janet, i meant i am starting over...day 2, i posted on the other board about it
just saw it sweetie and posted there
this is my first day on this site and I am glad I found it, I wanted to be sober before but was not really trying and that was a few yrs ago and now that I see things are not getting any better because of alcohal I see it's a bigger problem than I thought. I lost my loving family, my goals in life are put off and was given another chance at life, but I'm am really afraid to relaspe cause this is my first day being sober and the weekend is usually the toughest. I don't know how else to go about this but go to meetings do the steps and just don't forget the disease I have, it sounds so simple but the next day after drinking I feel like crying because I let my daughter down. I never done the steps before but I know if I do them I want to be sober pretty bad
HI, VW Girl,
I am an alcoholic on the verge of losing everything I have accomplished in my 1 1/2 years of Sobriety. Alcohol is like a snake/demon who will lie to you and rob you of any senisibily we have. It tells you that "just one drink" will be OK. and then you find yourself to be back to the starting point only worse than you were before. I had no IDEA that it could happen so quickly. I am worse off now that I was 2 years ago. One drink is to many and 50 not enough. Please let me know how you are. I care..

Hi to all of the fellow alcoholics out there,
I just recently found this site, and I love it already.
I'I have 8mo. clean & sober, and life is pretty darn good when you can acually remember it. I spent the last 3 yrs of my addiction in two bit motels and locked myself up and just drank to drown out the misery I was feeling, too afraid to face myself or anybody elsse for that matter. But today I feel free. I have my family and kids back in my life today and I thank God each and everyday for my life. I too am on Seroquel, but I had to have my dosage lowered to 50mg. at bedtime only, cuzz I was too much of a zombie on the 100 up. I will check in at least once a day to chat awhile with all of you.
Bye,
T

Hi Everyone, I hope any of you who are struggling are feeling better...remember you never have to feel that way again. I'm doing okay, but am truly grateful I didn't drink this past seven days. The thought crossed my mind that it might be the solution to some financial insecurity issues that have come up for me...and also found out something very surprising about my ex-husband. Not sure if how it will all play out...but I put one foot in front of the other, stayed close to the Program and have gotten into acceptance and am turning the corner finally.

Hi VW Girl,
I was doing so well this week until I had to go to a seminar for work. When I left the Holiday Inn to go back to my office I was involve in a horrifc car accident. I was totally sober but it was my fault in the accident. I came home and drank a half a bottle of vodlka beacause I was so neverous. I cannot handle things without alcohol. Please let me know what to do as my family is loves me but does not understand the control that alcohol has on my life.
