hi COMPLI my name is nancy listen have you join the A.A. ? if you dont think it would help you join the club thats what i thaught and i gave it a try and loved it and ihave been clean and sober for 1 year now,,,and if you try it and dont like it its garantees you a misery refund at the door yopu can always go back out and drink try it!! nancy

hi i agree with reply from nanouzz what have you got to lose best thing i ever did a long time ago .remember its the first drink that does the damage .work on the drink and say i wont drink just for to day xx

Complicated, please do attend an AA meeting in ur area. If there is a Beginners group,start there. You will quickly find out that ur not alone & will recieve the help u need w/ open arms.
Also try this, when the urge to drink comes on say this prayer,. God grant me the senerity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This is a very powerful prayer used in the AA program. It worked for me in my first few months of sobrity & I'm sure it worked for the millions other AA members for the past 70+ yrs. Take 1 day at a time,be strong & may God Bless U for another day!

Again, I will be another voice for AA. As hopeless as it might seem right now, it's not. You don't have to do this alone. And you don't have to live this way any longer if you don't want to. It's your choice. White knuckling it doesn't work...you need real help from real people who remember what it's like to be 2 weeks sober and climbing the walls. I remember, and I wouldn't have gotten through it without the stangers I turned to at the first few AA meetings I attended. God bless and know that this, too, shall pass.

I agree the AA does help, i also had my religion which i found to be a huge comfort but i know not everybody is into god and that. I have done stuff that i would have never have dreamt doing, knitting i have been knitting loads of scarfs, embroidery, crosswords, puzzles. I have an amazing supportive family and friends aswell who help me. I hope you have too bud, keep coming on here and talking i find this site a real help. Take care and i will pray for you.

AA does help get yourself to a meeting girl and listen for the similarities for the first 17 days i didnt and relapsed now im almost 2 months sober and working the programme with my sponsor it all helps
