For a long time now and I am here to say I'm back and I am an Alcoholic.. I joined this sight ,.. I think about a year ago thinking that I could lick this problem my self and have since found out that I cant... I drank last night and I fell asleep about 9pm and I woke up around 1:30 am thinking (What the hell am I doing I have no more control over this than I do my own heart beat... I need help I need to do something to get my life back on track...So I went in to my book room and dusted off the old AA book that a friend gave me about 3 years ago and started reading it.. And saw my self in it in so many ways that I had to admit to my self that yes indeed I do have a problem and that I can't control or drink like others can and I AM AN ALCOHOLIC... I also attended my first AA meeting today with much fear... I was afraid I would meet some one I would know and that people would look at me and say poor sole has lost her way... But that was not to be....I was welcomed with open and understanding arms and I did see some one that I knew.. We embraced each other and all is good.. I do intend to go again tomorrow.. They say 90 days sober 90 days of meetings.. I am going to shoot for this.. But today is where I am at and I have earned my 24 hour coin of witch I shale carry with me every day...I am here for the support and Help....

Welcome back, Bigs. I just completed my second meeting in two days. I'm sorry you are feeling so low. There is hope for the future. You don't have to feel this way any more.

GOOD for you...
stick around, take suggestions, try to be open minded and identify in meetings, try not to compare... get a sponsor and share in meetings for me, the hardest part was getting out of my own way, and when I can do this, my life is much more manageable.

What a nice post!!! I just responded to your "wow" & I scroll down & see this. Doing what is best for yourself only ends up benifiting the other people in your life. Best wishes to you.

Bigsb2, is is so great that you are back. Your post is good to read. I really understand the waking up at 1am after passing out early and then searching for something, an answer..something to feel better. Finding your Big Book was it and then you kept going by attending a meeting. You are an inspiration and I thank you so much for sharing. You are on the right path.

Welcome back! I thought I could handle things myself for a year a year after attempting to get sober. I failed miserably...back & forth all year, never having any length of time sober. I kept hearing go to meetings, get a sponsor, go to meetings, get a sponsor. Wasn't till I did what everyone kept saying that I finally seem to get it. I'm only 70 something days sober, but I am happier than I have ever been in my life, it's because I can see and feel a difference in me. Much to my amazement, this shit really works! Thank God! :)
I too had to dust off that big book and now it's starting to look worn....follow through with all that you're planning regardless of what anyone else thinks...it's only important that YOU know what you need to do....and you do it! Good for you! :)
