I'm sorry to hear that you're sick and angry but it's for good reasons.
Anything worth having is worth fighting for so stand strong and battle this out.

Day one is good! It's the first step of many leading to a more peaceful and serene way of life.

I'm proud of you angel for doing this. It is time to stop running. You are so brave for taking this on. I know you will succeed! Take one small step at a time. I am here for you, I love you.

Hugs, Hubby

You are not a failure and guilt is a wasted emotion.
Many of us, including myself, made several attempts before we achieved more than one day.

The only day that counts is today--staying clean and sober for another 24 hours.

You can do this, Angel. Don't berate yourself, please. Pick yourself up so to speak, and start again.

Addiction is a very seductive but lying demon...it promises to make us feel better but we find that it has only made things worse.
You are doing good by recognizing its' power and you can use this as another stepping stone towards gaining a measure of peace.

Peace and Power to you,
Cap

Congratulations on making the decision! It will take whatever it takes as you walk the steps toward abstinence.

You can increase your odds by widening your approach. Utilizing Alcoholics Anonymous is a tried and true method. One can always pick up a lot of tips and support by attending meetings. It beats doing it by yourself!

Keep posting.

Hey Angel! Just want to add a few words of encourgement! Don't give up before the miracle happens. Remember to keep saying to yourself that you can do it! You're very strong and determined to give up this way of living. You'll be so happy to be a sober woman.

Give yourself a break! Move a muscle, change a thought!! Easy does it! But do it. Give time, time. One Day At A Time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time. This too shall pass.

We all love you! very much and we are all rooting for you. You can do it!
Love and peace,
Kathy

Denial is a river in Egypt

Thank you all so much for your love and support. I phoned my doc and got prescribed Librium. The puking has stopped ,
I am trying to work on the steps with my bestest virtual sponsor and friend ever, but i am struggling with the higher power thingy. But i am working on it.
I've managed to stay off it today and boy it feels good not be live in a bucket lol.
I did open a can but i thought f it, i dont want to go through that again ever, but havent as yet managed to throw the drink away. But i am sober and don't want one so thats good.
Thank you all so much again and when i feel a bit better i so want to give back. So if anyone ever needs anything , my pm is always open.
Take care all
( i still blame seeing the Leprauchan on paddys day though hehe)
Love you all
Angel

That's very good angel, I'm glad you don't want a drink. Pretty soon you will be able to throw the drink away. One day at a time. I know you can do it. I send all my love and support to you. I think your amazing too!

i got my meds yesterday but said talk as prescribed, so stupid me took 2 , 3 daily. went back today, as they have 6 more and they wouldnt give me them. They said that was for the weekend so i am pretty pissed at them
on a positive note i got a lend of the aa book and read chapter 3 and it made sense. my friend is gonna get me the book when he goes to a meeting on monday.
i am really struggling but i am trying my best and this is the first time that i can get to understand a bit of aa and stuff. guess thats a improvement, but i am so griggin angry and keep rememberng stuff i would rather forget.

anyway thank you all again so much
love you all so much

angel there is a saying in aa..."k"eep "i"t "s"imple, "s"tupid....KISS. when i got sober i wanted to fix everything about myself overnight. it was wisely suggested for "now" to just stay sober one day at a atime. the rest would follow...
so if you do step one successfuly one day at a time for now, you're a winner! so glad you're sick and tired of being sick and tired. there are many wonderful things to come by staying sober. thank you for sharing with us about your struggles and by being honest with yoruself and us. we are here for you, friend.

Angel,

Please make sure you eat breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. Your nutritional needs are very important right now.

Snacks are important too! Fruits, trail mix, etc. It's time to pay attention to what you put into your body in a whole new way. You can do this, one step at a time.

Keep posting.

Angel just take things one step at a time. Work on the lists I gave you. Dont get angry with yourself. I am so proud of you for trying. I understand about not wanting to remember. Some day I hope you will learn that memories are just that memories and that they cant hurt you any longer. Please use your meds as directed by the gp. Together we can get through this. One day at a time. Notz is correct you need to eat and sleep and take care of your body. You have abused your body for years now it is time to heal.

Take care of yourself,
Diana
