Hi all, am here drinking myself to sleep.. Just finished a 6 pack now am going for some of that good ole vodka. I know I shouldnt be drinking but it helps me forget all my troubles. I hope all you good people out there will help me get over this bout of drinking. I am so drunk that i must lay down to type this message to all you.

Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I'm free at last. This is a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. He speaks about freedom from the differences of race and religion. This also applys to freedom from addiction. I have been free from addiction for 6 months now. It's a great feeling and a great relief. I'm not saying it's easy. It's a struggle every day. I want to take a drink every day. But I don't. And that is freedom. The freedom to have control of my life.

Hey, I hope I can do like you . .What do you do when you get the urge to down some hard stuff? Do you call someone ? Or have you gotten beyond the need to have some alcohol? I can't write much tonigh...the room is going in circles.

Way to go Jollyholly. You are an inspiration for anyone here. I think you are living proof of what discipline and resolve can do for an addiction!

Myspace has that affect on people, doesn't it? You just need to substitute it with something else you like on the net. Maybe some game sites?

Thanks I will call AA. I am kind of embarrassed though. I don't want all my friends to know I am an alkie. Have you ever been worried that by going to these meetings people will think less of you:?

It is a terrible thing to always want a drink. That's me. It's like you have it in you. You feel you have control but really it's controlling you. I am at least at the point where I realize I have a problem with drink.

I think that what you did there I must apply to my addiction: that is change my circle of friends. I think if I don't hang out with my drinkin buddies I will be fine!

Mike you are like me before. I use to think I wasn't an alcoholic. I realize now I am and am taking steps ..one day at a time ..to overcome this. I am going to my first AA meeting Friday. I am sure it will be great.

Am surprised that this is an addiction: cleanness. I can come over and make a mess for you joygirl, jk.I have my own mess to take care of . I do wish you luck, though, in making a nice mess and letting it sit just for a few minutes each day.

Drinking makes me sleepy ..But it is not a healthy sleepy. See I sing my self to sleep after I talk myself to no end. I am sorry that you have problems sleeping. I will pray for you; please pray for me.
