Just posting to inform all of you that I got through this weekend completely sober! On top of this, I went out with some friends and was able to fight the temptations. I'm not saying it was easy but I just kept thinking to myself, if I get through this weekend I can come online and let you all know my accomplishment! Here's to a week of being sober, guilt-free and happy!
Anyone ever try the drink called "water"? It's really good and it seems to be making my face softer than ever and my lips super non-chapped!
1.Accepting myself for who I am and learning to love me for me
2. Coming to the realization that I have a problem and deciding to make a change
3. Letting down everyone in my life, losing trust, feeling so much guilt- I decided to make a change and clean up my act!
It's so hard to admit all of these things, but at the same times it feels really really good to do so. I'm no longer ashamed to admit all of this. If people want to judge me, they can judge me! At least i'm making a change.
BG! I was so glad to see your message that you made it through the night! WAHOO!
How have things been since? You can do this BG! I am here for you and i'm swimming in the same river so I get how rough the current can be sometimes if you know what I mean!
Welcome to the site. My heart broke when I read your story. I'm quite young and I've already damaged friendships, relationships and my body. I've been doing my best to stay sober and i feel much better about myself this way.
I've been reading some of your posts, sorry to see that you are having a bit of a hard time. We are all going through our separate battles, but at least like you said we are not alone. This site has been so helpful to me, I always read up on the forums and I am so touched by what everyone has to say and what everyone is going through. The thing is, we can NO longer put up with this "self-destruction", enough is enough. I've hurt many people along the way, in so many ways and thought that they would never forgive me. It's taken me a while to figure out that first I needed to forgive myself. And with time each one of the people i've hurt will find it in themselves to forgive me.
I'm here for you BG, so please let me know how today went.
I feel ya, Saturday nights can be really tough for me too! All I've known for the past few years has been that weekends=relax=drink excessively. Having said that, since joining this group I've been determined to make a change and I have made a change. And I know that you can too, it's not easy but it's SO worth it! Our bodies deserve a chance to be healthy!
Welcome to the site! I am fairly new here (1 month or so) and I would just like to say I am sure glad i found it. Since being here I've made so many realizations about the person I was being. Alcohol was destroying friendships, my relationship, my happiness and so many other things. It has been really hard, I used to depend on it to get through a weekend. Reading the forums, going through the program has really made a difference. You have come to the right place, trying to do things on our own isn't always the best option, reach out and do this! You are worth it!
It is nice to see some new faces on here. I'm a fairly new member and I really like posting and reading to see what others are going through. I get pretty busy and sometimes I don't have time to come on the site, but it really has helped me so far. I have been quite determined to stick to my goals.
I was wondering, what you guys do in social situations? All of my social outings usually involve a drink or two..or more..
