I am just finally admitting to myself that I have a huge drinking problem. I want help. I will go to my first meeting tonight. I don't know what to expect .

Wish me we

Hey Charlene,

Today's my first day as well and I just want to say that I couldn't agree more with your statement and you're not alone!

The first step is the hardest. Day 2 is harder. Day 3 is the worst. I get easier after that. Give it time. Let the process work and work the program.

Today I woke up so mad at myself. I keep saying I don't have a drinking problem because I don't drink everyday but when I do drink - I always go over board. Lately I drink alone to drown out all my sadness and pain. My 23 year old daughter died a year ago from a Heroin overdose. So what do I do?? I cry a lot and when the pain gets too much for me, I open up a bottle of wine and finish it.. Then always when this happens the next day I am angry and disgusted with myself. I am trying so hard to read the AA books and have strength to not drink. I can go for a week or so then I cave in. I don't want to keep living like this. i want to do better. I am kind of afraid to go to a meeting alone but I know I should get over the anxiety and just go. My other 2 daughters deserve better than this. I deserve better too.

Today is my first day to a new beginning. I'm scared and very nervous. I don't know what to except. I'm not sure who I will be not drinking. I'm looking forward to see what I'm going to be in this world without drinking. I'm in love with a man that doesn't judge me, that doesn't drink or smoke, but he loves me and wants me to be better. I love him, and I don't want drinking to come between him and I. I'm hoping to gain better ways of coping. I'm ready to fight. One day at a time right, prayer and determination will win this fight.

Wish me luck everyone. Good luck to everyone on this road, God Bless.

Today is my first day. I am scared, but I realize that I must remain sober in order to improve my life. I have faced the obstacles in quitting smoking, and I hope I can use that experience to help me.
