    One step at a time and one day at a time. Staying close to god and doing a lot of praying.

    About two weeks ago. But then again I knew a long time but never really thought about it.
    I look at myself in the mirror and I knew what I had to do . I’m going on my 8th day .
    And it’s hard. But I have my mine made up I pray to god to help me through this

    • As I pray to God to give me strength, I'll pray that he give you strength too.  I've seen I can't do this alone.

    Yes. That is what happened to me. I’m in my 40’s and for me drinking does not work for me anymore.
    I just get sick. And I’m tired of being sick. I have been going to AA meeting every day and it helps me .
    I have my bad days but I just keep talking my way through.

    • Unfortunately alcohol doesn’t make me physically sick. Mentally, yes! Have you been continually sober for a while? Mostly sober with occasional setbacks? When did you first realize you needed to stop?

    Alcoholism is a progressive disease it just keeps getting worse the more we drink. I know that from myself.

    • Thanks for your comment, Rose. Yes, I’ve seen that in myself, too. I’ve drunk heavily for 25 years, but the last few it’s gotten to the point where I can clearly see that if I don’t make a change my life is going to be destroyed by it. I could drive away my loved ones, lose my job, go to jail or die – and it could all happen any time.
