Yesterday I ran into a grocery store for a moment and bought a last minute item. There was a lady collecting for the Salvation Army. Immediately I heard my mom's voice, "Never pass a red kettle without putting something in." And I know that, despite this recession, I have fewer monetary worries than Mom and Dad did raising us.

Hi...friend... Try to look at it this way...I dont know about you...but I could do anything when I was drinking.? I bet if you were drunk you could walk in a meeting?? I bet when you were drunk you could sit in a bar alone? Go to a liquor store alone?? Those place are MUCH more scary than an AA meeting. The people in AA are there to get better.? The people in AA will welcome you.? You have nothing to be afraid of...I know its different...but...

Dear Beth, I'm sorry that I haven't come back to post to this message board for a week!? It has been a harrowing, but exhilirating week.? I quit drinking because I needed to quit.? I quit for me.? I quit because drinking has nothing that I want.? I know I am an alcoholic, but I needed to say it out loud and to others in order for it to sink in.? I am almost one week sober and the sky is a little bluer, the birds are singing more...

I got a sort of "get out of jail free" card this year.? Like Monica, I was not one for a "just a glass" at a family get together.? If I could have stuck a straw in a bottle of wine, I would have.? And trust me, there were plenty of family get togethers where I would skip the food and hang out by the bar the whole night!? Start with wine, switch?to vodka, and when that was put away, start in on the "dessert"...

Thanks so much for all your kind words!? I am so much happier sober, I wish I would have been strong enough a few weeks ago to know better!!!!? Thankfully, I was able to recognize right away that drinking was not the answer but the enemy.? I can tell myself over and over not to dwell on the fact that my alcoholic brain won, but it won't do me any good... all I can do is move forward.? As much as it sucks that I no longer can say I am 1...

Hi boca and welcome to the board. I felt just like you when I first went to AA. I was so desperate to stop drinking that I did not even hear the word God the first six months. I know they said it, but I had selective hearing...and I am grateful for that! One of the things I learned after I had a bit of sobriety under my belt was that AA is not a religious based program...it is spiritual. ...

Leslie,
Thanks. Having the week off for Fall Break I find myself watching more TV than usual and boy, do the senses get bombarded with what the holidays are suppossed to be like according to the media. Lots of food and happy people and lots and lots of wine showing up all over the place! Your post helped me to refocus that this holiday really is a spiritual one and not one catering to ...

Hi Emily, My name is Brenda and 12 1/2 years ago I was you. I was looking in the mirror and knowing that alcohol was my master and I needed to change. I did not know how. I did wind up (I say that because I did not intend to go to AA) in an AA meeting that night...scared, silent, crying, and knowing that nobody could ever help me. I did not hear a lot. What I did hear was that I was not ...

Hello Heidi
Please know I have you in my thoughts and prayers. I have not been where you are, but have wanted to drink so badly I was in tears. You can stay sober tonight, you can, you can, you can. I once shredded page by page a phone book until I fell asleep (by the way...shredded by hand)
Please keep in touch.

Hi,
For me, I tried for years to drink in a controlled manner and while I did at times have some temporary success, it always ended up out of control. I have found the only way to stay sane is to stay completely sober. The mental freedom and peace I now have is wonderful. Keep us posted. Personally, I would get the alcohol out of the house.

I have a couple of suggestions.... First, I would try and find a counselor to talk to about these issues with your mother. As long as they are unresolved, she will be a constant source of irritation and anger. I also know that AA may have been suggested to you before - why not try it now? What do you have to lose? I could not deal with my family issues and triggers until I had a little bit...

Betty, thank you for all that you have done and the hope and support you have provided to the members here.
You, and your family, will be in my thoughts. I wish you all the best in life and hope that we'll still see you here often as a regular board member, if not a CL.
(((hug)))
