First visit, so this is my comment: I like your rules, Tony.
I love your blog and your rules Tony.
Thanks Tony… Glad to have another Tone out there. Here in Haiti my nickname is Ti Tone… I think it’s like calling the big guy Tony because I’m the only one in our family not very skinny
I don’t generally like rules as a thing but your rules make sense so ok. I am following the rules and leaving comment on first visit. It is hard not to drink sometimes. It is good to have avid bloggers writing about their journey. It helps to have the company. Glad to have you out here in the blog o sphere.
Rule #8
So far ~ so good Tony!
Great to see you’re staying sober & getting healthy.
Hope you keep finding/sharing your way odaat.
Love the blog……much reading to be had.
This is my first visit. I have been trying to stop drinking for the last year. And I have been failing. Each day I start with such resolve, but by the end of the day, I give in and go out to buy more alcohol.
I feel so useless, but I am so sick and tired of waking up every morning with a hangover. I want to feel healthy again.
How can I kick this addiction?
just checking this out. on day 30 here. it’s been a long journey just to get here
Hi Tony and all.
1st visit, day 2 for me. My record is 52 days a couple of years ago but drinking is spiraling the worst this time round.
My father was in intensive care for 5 weeks & passed away begining of Novemver. This has given me an excuse to drink excessively and no-one mentions it at the moment.
It has got to the point where I am waking up really drunk & trying to deal with dad’s finances, selling his car, etc, stinking of alcohol at the bank & solicitors etc. Then I drink again because I don’t want the hangover to start. I cannot lose my licence even though I drink & drive all the time, & I can’t lose my job. I’ve had time off work but this has made things worse. Just started my week of working nights which I do every 6 weeks.
I actually feel better today & remember what I have done the last couple of days even though it’s hazy! It’s nice but I am also thinking about alcohol.
While dad was in hospital, I got a letter letting me know I gained an entry place into the London Marathon. I’ve tried for 5 years. I went for my first run today & because I am now running for dad, he made me run 6 miles! I have a reason to stay sober at the moment. I have to train, make him proud & raise enough cash for the charity for him.
Sorry for going on. Thank you for reading. And all the best for anyone thinking of going sober and who are sober. Hopefully I can leave another comment in a few months.
Hello there,
Hope all is going well. I’m starting Naltrexone next Tuesday because I drink too much and want to re-set my brain.
Will let you know how it goes.
Really like this place, hope you give us an update soon.
All the best!
First timer here.
