Drinking Every Day

Please look at your life and see were it's going. Don't reach the level I have. I to drink everyday and never felt I had a problem until this time I can't quit. It hurts and it`s scary I think you are where I was a year ago. Please seek all the help and support you can before you reach the state I`m in. I`m very productive and always busy with my kids sports. But still found myself in a very lonely place. If you can reach out for a little help before you reach my state you may be able to save your self the withdrawls that I experience now. Friday is my quit date and I fully intend to make that date. No matter if my husband has to take me to a detox center these are my wishes. Hope I can do it on my own but not sure if I can. I will believe in myself as you should believe in your self. I`m just tired of living in this stupid box I want to be set free. I think you want the same. You can do it. Stay in touch I will let you know hoe I do. 
Good luck
 You have reached out and thats the first step in our disease
  I wish you the best and will follow your battle. Hope I can post something positive for you by the end of the weekend. Please hope for me as I am for you.

success

Please keep up the fight your two day`s ahead of me. Spill your heart out to your family  and you may be shocked at your responce. I know that`s all they wanted to here. I hope you will have the same support as I do. It`s hard but just let it out because you will feel so much better it`s a start. You can do it as I`m going to try by myself  this Friday is my goal. Set your goal and try to stick to it. If you fail pick your self back up and try again never give up. There is help out there and you can get it. 

Good luck and I hope you wish me the same.

Tomorrow is the day help

Hi everyone. Tomorrow is my quit date I'm scared to death. My anxiety levels are threw the roof. The past few days I have noticed I'm drinking more than ever. I guess I'm trying to get as much alcohol in me before I got to say good bye. Sounds crazy but that the way I feel. I have gave up to my husband all my credit and debit cards that makes me even more unstable the anxiety levels are crazy right now. But this is the only way I know I can't buy any beer my drink of choice. I have got and learned a lot from people who responded to  my introduce your self post. You have inspired me in so many ways. So I might not post anything tomorrow I expect it to be hell. May check any post just to help me so please send me some motivation as god knows I will need. Thanks for everybody's input  As it has helped me a great deal. Think of me tomorrow as I'm going to need all the thoughts and inspiration I can get wish me luck.

Drinking Every Day

Hi it's Motivation again.
 Tomorrow is my quit date I can't stop thinking of you. I know you are reaching out for  help. I wish I did earlier but I didn't. you really can stop the crazy behaviour that us alcoholics do. You can do it set a date for giving up the drink and if you fail make it for the next day. I'm so scared of failing but I have done eveything possible so I can't have any accsess to money. i intend to go threw great withdrawls but I can do this and so can you. Lets get our life back will be thinking of you.

well made it 14 days and now I mess up not over will pick up

Didn't post away on a soccer tournament with my youngest. Was very proud I made it threw the first to weeks. Never seen me turning back because never felt better. But something today really sent me threw the roof. Was going to quit my job after ten years there. Period just made wrong choices  tonight and really feel bad about what I have done. I know I'm going to feel like crap tomorrow. I was so scarred of the withdrawal and made it threw and screwed up. But plan to pick myself up were I just left off. Anybody that has messed up and pick them self back up. Please send any advice you can I need it now.
 Thank-you
