Jes posted an update in the group
Women in Recovery 9 years agoHi everyone, this is my first time actually reaching out to the people of aa. I am 21 now and have been drinking since 14. Very recently I thought I could quit on my own. I downloaded the twelve step book and was sober for two weeks, but I started drinking again. I’ve realized that not only am I powerless to alcohol, but I can’t do it on my own. I…[Read more]

Janey posted an update in the group
Women in Recovery 9 years, 1 month agoas I’ve been reading on the boards & chat rooms, people have been discussing detoxing. I felt glad that I didn’t have to go through it. I mean, what’s a six drinks, 4 bottles of wine, and a six pack give or take a week? surely that’s nothing my body would have to “detox” I think I realized why I relapsed yesterday. After 6 days sober my body/brain…[Read more]

Women in Recovery 9 years, 1 month agoHello. I’m new to this. I have, finally, realized what drinking does to me. I want to stop, not just for me, but, for my daughter and boyfriend. How do I?

Thank you. I need to stop and I want to. It’s hard when my boyfriend drinks. And hides it.

autumn posted an update in the group
Women in Recovery 9 years, 1 month agoHello, I thought I was “managing” my addiction to alcohol, but I went out yesterday and drank all day long. I blacked out for 5 hours. I don’t know what I did or how I got home. I am truly mortified. Where is everyone in the their journey in this group? Have you ever had a day-after like the one I’ve just had? What did you do? Thank you!

Hi Autumn! I can relate on a lot of levels. Thinking I could control my drinking, black outs, terrified, etc. I am grateful to have stumbled into an AA meeting in 2002 at the age of 22, and that ultimately saved my life. Giving me tools and steps to help learn how to live one day at a time without a drop of alcohol. Go figure! Therapy is also a…[Read more]

Reading your post Autumn gave me overwhelming chills remembering those days. The sense of dread was suffocating. And then I would swear off drinking only to do it again. I’m at 131 days sober since my last relapse. It gets better. Hanging out with drunks wanting to stay sober helps keep me sober. So far I’ve worked the first three steps of…[Read more]
