Did you know?

I find it always very helpful to have lots and lots of water on hand! It is important to stay hydrated! And if you are trying to limit your alcohol consumption you can drink water between alcoholic drinks.

Hello betterlife,
 
I am really glad that instead of being a lurker, you are now a member! We are all going through similar experiences, trying to fight the alcohol demon and making mends with things we have done and people we have hurt. We all have our moments and make mistakes.The important thing is to take control of your life and decide that you don't want to be that way anymore. We are here for you betterlife, welcome and check in soon!

Hi Chuck,
 
I agree, I feel like I can post anything I want on here and I know that I won't be judged. We are in this situation together and we must stick together! I'm very proud of the accomplishments that we all have made! Just need to stay close to this site to keep me going!

No one knows!!!!!!

Hi Bella,
 
I hear you on the keeping things secret, my situation is a little different. My friends and boyfriend are aware of my problem (past-problem because I've been sober for about 2 months now :) ) but my family has no idea. I've managed to keep it a secret from them and I live with them, but it has made me feel terrible and almost like I have lived a double life. I think in time I will come clean to my parents and let them know what I have been dealing with because I would feel a lot better after. Have you ever come clean about your deceptions? Have you ever thought about it? How does one go about doing so?

Who writes your favorite blogs?

Truffle,
 
I guess I never really thought about writing in my blog or even reading anyone else's for that matter. Will have to check that out! It is fun to read other peoples thoughts. But they can also share on here as well!
 
I've been really busy lately, and have had a hard time stopping by regularly.. School and work have been a little nuts these days!
