First day after bad night

[DixyChik]

I'm tired of writing "drank too much again last night, very hungover" in my journal! I am tired of thinking of excuses to keep drinking, e.g. lonely, isolated, bored, want to have fun, everybody else is doing it, this is a special occasion, you get the picture. I am the granddaughter/mother/sister of an alcoholic/addict. I'm afraid I'm turning into the proverbial drunken little old lady.
Thanks for any and all support.

Someone once told me that I didn't have to drink if I didn't want to, and if I didn't pick up that first drink I wouldn't have to write got drunk, don't remember in my journal the next day. Simple yes, easy no. I went to AA to get support with my desire to quit drinking and stay quit. They were right. That hasn't been a journal entry of mine for more than 17 years.

Peace: Sioux

:17:Welcome DixyChik, we're glad you here.:42: I drank until I was sick and tired of drinking and still could not stop. I had hit a place where there was nothing else for me to do but die or ask for help. I ask for help, first from that God that I didn't think cared about me and then a bunch of recovering drunks who helped and are still helping me. One Day at a Time. If you haven't tried A.A. yet, please do. They helped me like no one else could.

Please let us know how you're doing. :42:

You are not alone--anymore! :42:
