I just wanted to say hello. This is my second post (just shared my story). I've read some stories and plan to read many more. I've only come to realize my drinking problem today. So, this is day 1 for me. Thanks for listening my dear friends.
Thank you for your story. There are a number of really great AA women who post on this site who have helped me a lot with their wisdom and experience of recovery. I read the Big Book daily, set aside a little prayer/meditation time morning and night and go to regular AA meetings. Just to let you know that you are not alone and that you CAN stop drinking alcohol one day at a time. All you need to start with is the desire to stop drinking. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
You are now tied for first place. This is a 24 hour program. My first coin was a 24 hour coin and I wear it on a chain around my neck, it's the only coin I carry. Congrat's on your first 24 and may we all have 24 hours more. Keep coming back.

Welcome Tami! This board is a great addition to my AA program. There's many folks here who have walked the same path your heading down. They can guide you around the potholes with their wisdom. Keep coming back and posting and help us all stay sober.
Thanks for showing up and keeping me sober today! One day at a time and you'll be fine. I have yet to encounter a problem or situation that what I learned in AA couldn't help me through.
Thank you all for your pleasant words of advice. I know I'm in the best place. I'll start here then attend a meeting soon. I need to realize that I can never have just one drink. One drink is not possible for me. It turns to 20 without even knowing how I got there. I need to understand my triggers and just never have that first taste. I can get through this with God, my family and my AA family. Thanks for welcoming me to your safe place.

I don't even have a day clean and sober, but nice meeting you.
I have 5 more hours, if I make it that long, then I will be sober for one day. I'm not liking this idea, as I want a few drinks right now. As they say in the program. One day at a time.
I just have to live for today. I don't know if I will get drunk tomorrow or not, as I have a drinking diease.
