i would like to say a few things here if its ok. To the people who need a beer or drink to make them feel better, i think they need to start their day without one, trying their hardest not to have a drink. I used to drink everyday in college over 30m year ago. after that i stopped. i have to say now that my sobrity is my drunk. i drank so much at one point i would pray to be sober. Nature also came into my life when we bought a house in the

near countryside. then nature became my dunk too. There are so many triggers for drinking like tv commercials and bars on every corner in the city where i grew up. this makes me mad. i was taught by my typical irish parents that drinking is ok, which i don't believe it is, unless in moderation. i hope and praythat drinkiers can stop their addiction, they are missing on the sobrity high they can get. good luck

That's fantastic! Glad you posted; I was getting a little worried about what might be going on when you hadn't been on the board for a while!

I wanted to get high so I bought a bottle of Tylenol 1's, did the cold water extraction to isolate the codeine and then just said screw it and poured it down the drain..

Your thinking process improved in time. Good catch!

Desoxyn,

Good for you for resisting. Every time you do that, you'll get stronger.

Today is day one. Last night after drinking half a bottle of vodka I told my girlfriend to pour the rest away and not let me buy anymore. I’m sort of regretting it, but I know I need to do it.

I am owning it, it was my choice, I said to pour it away. I just know that I need someone to help keep me on the straight and narrow. She wants to help and it would be foolish of me to not accept help because I know my willpower is nonexistent at times.

I am glad that she wants to help you.
hubby does not see it as a problem so does not help me with it. regulating I would resent him for it.
I wonder if this makes sense.

Well staying sober didn’t last long. I thought my detox was meant to start today, turns out it doesn’t start until August 13. And I was feeling ill, so yeah back on it until then I guess. I just wish they would let me start now but I guess they have their reasons. The levels I’m drinking means I’m at risk of seizures if I just stop hence having to wait for detox.

whisperingskye,

I'm both sorry and appalled that you can't get a detox admission sooner, as your resolve to become sober will be tested between now and then.

But if your professionals are telling you not to stop on your own, listen to them, and try to minimize your drinking between now and your intake. I've had 2 withdrawal seizures, plus experienced hallucinations when attempting to detox on my own. You do not want to have to experience that.

Keep posting here as much as you want, while waiting for detox.

I am trying to cut back. I had managed to reduce it for a couple of weeks, but then it crept back up the last two weeks. My mental health has been declining and I think that’s not been helping matters. So yeah, I am now trying to cut down again, I just need more self control. Need to learn to be strict with myself which is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
