stop drinking

I didint write anything here for several months. Today is a special day for me. Im one year withouth alcohol. Working in a bar i wasnt easy, but been busy with my job, my baby (he is 2 years old)he was one year when i found this web page. I feel stronger than before, but this is something i have to face everyday, im learning to live with it, im an alcoholic, i will always be an alcoholic, there is no miracles to save me from this. I accept that i wont drink any alcohol, just for today.
Thanks to everybody who post here, i see people here that is continuing trying to stay sober like im doing.
Today i read some post and i remember lots of feeling, when i was afraid, lots of tears, shame, desapointments, many things to regret.
I dont want to back, i asould remember all of that, it hepls me for not to drink.
Thanks to 43things that allows me to know , in some way, people like me.
Thanks everybody, for make me feel that im no alone here.
Take care, kisses.

Im posting today,I dont know if some of you remember me (Im a single mother who works as a manager in a bar),Sorry for no to say even hello last months but ive been very busy, between my job in the bar and my 2 years old baby i havent had time for anything.
Well…some months ago i started to go to aa meetings again and i also found this page. 9 months exactly since i stopped drinking. I only wanted to write something to share that im so happy…im sober!. Its very hard not to drink when something bad happens, sometimes im very stressed and i want to drink something.
I know, i really know what alcohol means for me(All that i dont want in my life!). I wont go in that way again. Its hard to face life without alcohol but…alcohol becomes life worse!
Its just for today. One day at a time.
Thanks everybody who posts here, you help me a lot to fight agaist my alcoholism. Thanks aa, thanks god.

Today i realize that i havent drunk anything for 3 months. To stop drinking i remember every day and every moment that alcohol means many awful things that i dont want in my life. Im still working in a bar as a manager and when somebody say cheers i just drink water, sodas, juices or energy drinks. I never stpped drinking for 3 mothns before, i feel that this is a normal day, but i cant forget that im an alcoholic, if i dont forget that i will be ok.
Take care. kiss.

Hello everybody, i was reading all your comments these days and most of them are like things that happend to me. The most difficult part for me is that I work in a bar, but something that is saving my life is to remember that IM AN ALCOHOLIC and for me drinking means to destroy my life, my image. I like how I am without alcohol.
Thank god that I didnt drink today. Thanks all of you. Thanks AA.

Hello Everybody, im feeling better today, yesterday i didnt write anything but im reading your comments and how your recoveries are everyday.
It’s 3am, im here at home, sober, sleepy, im drinking some juice, im happy becouse im sober and im definitely dont want to drink alcohol again in my life. I went to aa meeting today too, i felt less nervous in my job also, i think my mind is clear. Pray everyday asking for help gave me results, people who read my comments in previous days know how bad i felt and how crazy i was.
Thanks to the people who write me comments and cheer me up when i needed. Thanks a lot.
I’ll try to post every day, it helps me a lot, so read all of you too.
Take care, kiss.

Im really tired today, is later, i have a headache. I have some problems at work becouse of last time i drunk. What is happening is like god sending me a message and saying “dont drink again!!!”.
Im going to aa meetings 1 hour a day, i’ll keep going, that is the best way to understand my problem.
Working in a bar is killing me. There is so normal drinking alcohol that im afraid to fail some day, i cant stand that. I dont want to go there anymore, but i need the money, im need to and im going to find another job, i know, i have faith that god is going to help me.
Thats all for today, im not in a good mood to write, i feel depressed. I hope it changes with time.
Take care.
Thanks for posting to everybody.

This day was very stressful!! terrible at work. fortunately i went to aa meeting and i talk there!... but then at work some hard situations were waiting for me :¡. I havent drink anything, but i thought that in that moment would be good a beer or whatever. I just smoked some cigarrets and i drinked water, then i forgot alcohol, so am here at home sober, thank god. Thank you and the meetings.

It was a long day, i went to the doctor, the psychiatrist told me that i need medication, some pills to control my desire of drinking. Tomorrow i’ll buy them. Today i went to an aa meeting too, i should go every day, i know that. Then i came home, i played with my baby, after that i went to work for some hours and now im here… thank god sober.
Thanks for your comments and posting here.
Kisses.
