Day 1

You do not need luck. It sounds like you have lots of reasons to stay sober today. That all we have to do is stay sober for one day. If you can stay sober today do the same thing tomorrow. The person I had to change for was me, I hated myself. People that love you will see the change and so will you. When I have hard days, I look to reading, talking with others like me (this site and meetings). I do not fear reaching out to others with the same issues as me, two drunks helping eachother stay sober TODAY.

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I've posted but I hope to ask the favour of your support as I recommit to my goal.   I've been trying to moderate my drinking, but the fact that I still use alcohol to regulate other things (social anxiety, self acceptance, stress) has finally sunk in and made me understand that I need to just STOP for a while. Maybe forever.  Alcohol makes me so selfish, and I am not a selfish person by nature.  Alcohol makes me hurt (badly) the people who are closest to me. Alcohol is (probably) robbing me of years off my life and it's certainly robbing me of precious moments with my son. It all comes back to alcohol. I'm so afraid to deal with what's left once the alcohol has been removed - me. I don't believe in myself so I keep going back to cover it up with alcohol. It's a problem. I need to change my behaviour and make different choices. As I struggle with how I can make it up to the people I've hurt, I continually come back to the same answer - the only way I can make it up to them is by stopping. It's the most unselfish thing I can do. It's the only thing I can do. And it's going to be so hard because nobody around me is even going to notice it's happening until it's happened and, at least at this point, I'm very reliant on feedback and acknowledgement. But it's the only choice I have. I dunno.. thanks for listening to my verbalize what needs to be done. I need to learn how to be me without alcohol and it would mean a lot to have your support. I'm planning on starting a blog here so hopefully that will help me stay accountable.
Day 1 is now, wish me luck... Happy and healthy New Year to all.
