I have been drink free for 3 weeks now after a major binge. I am determined to take every day now as it comes and make it drink free for me.

I have battled with alcohol for years and did manage a 6 month absence but foolishly thought I was back in control and I could now be a sensible drinker which was not the case.

I am getting cravings and thinking about drinking alot but I now associate the pleasure of drinking with the pain of feeling rubbish once I awake after a binge which now take me 2-3 days to recover from. Well not anymore I am now stronger than my addiction and I will stay in my corner and the drink can stay in its corner and we will no longer fight each other.

I have just opened up a new chapter in my life and so far its all going well.

God, I’m glad I’m not the only one! I left a review today for the Allen Carr book on this website if anyone should care to read it.

Part of my recovery was learning to talk about it.

I go to AA meetings and realized that don’t like to be open and I don’t like to share my ‘stuff’ ….

Someone recently made a good point at a meeting….he said you talk not for yourself but for the other people in recovery that need to hear your story…

I talked the very next day! I see the value in sharing now. Even though it makes me incredibly nervous and it probably sounds like a load of dribble I am learning not to care….and learning not to take myself so seriously…Seriously!

Wish everyone a Happy 24

I’ve been trying to quit everything for 10 years now (drink, fags, drugs) but I always relapse. My best detox was 7 months but I recently messed up. I’ve been trying to get back on the wagon but I just can’t do it, my attempts are awful. It’s sending me mad because I think I’m gonna lose my job and mess everything up but for some reason I keep letting it happen. I’ve tried everything. I don’t even know why I’m typing this. I’ll stop now.

Uggggg! I know how all of you feel! I have a large family (5 kids, a uncaring husband) I feel lonely despite them. Plus I have been drinking for about 14 years on and off. Its gotten so bad that I have gone to the hospital because I was going through withdrawl so bad that I was shaking and could not keep anything down. Not even a sip of water. They gave me some valuim. But only enough for a couple of days. After that I relapsed at a restaurant. Then I just kept buying wine. I lost my job because I could not go due to withdrawl. I am so scared and embarresed by this. I have always been a pretty girl but lately my skin has been really dry and peeling. And my eyes are either red or yellow. I think its killing me.

I do not know what to say to you. Lonelyness is terrible. I have no friends to go out with so I know how you feel. I sometimes drink fruit juice but then I relapse again.

Hi to everyone. I have been binge drinking for several years. I stay off it for 3 or 4 days and then drink 2 bottles of wine or whatever. I wish I could stay off it and be normal. I go to work and some days I do not know what I am doing because my head is so bad. I have just lost my partner and I feel so lonely. I have no one to go out with now so I drink in the house. I know that is no excuse but I went to AA once and it got told to someone. Things like that should not be discussed to outsiders. I feel so depressed and lonely. Sometimes I think I am going to die like my partner did.
