I woke up Tuesday morning and knew that i didn't want to drink ever again..... So far, so good.... and i still feel the same way.... but I have sooo many emotions running through my mind right now,... especially guilt for all I've done wrong... I hurt so many people in my life.... I feel so ashamed for all I've done...

ldyjt; Welcome to the realm. I understand those feelings. If you go to meetings, get a sponsor, and work the steps. Those feelings will go away and be replaced with peace and serenity. Do not beat yourself up. God has already forgiven you now all you have to do is forgive yourself. Hang in there and have a great day. :-)

Welcome, and I agree with TBear. just take it slow, dont stop. go to meetings. meet some people and get some numbers. the steps are a life long process, they will bring you peace of mind. get a big book and start reading, its not at intemidating as it looks or sounds. and remember we are here to help and support you. wishing you the best of luck....mantie .............................................Just Breathe....................................................................

i woke up on occasions with the same feelings..and totaly convinced to my innermost self that i to was finished.. against my own will i drank again..even though i was attending meetings,keeping sober company etc etc etc..i had developed the type of thinking that the book says "a person with this type of thinking is beyond human aid" i was powerless over alcohol.solution to powerlessness is power.a power greater than myself and without this i was up s??t creek without a paddle.where do i find this power?church?chapel?mosque?synagouge?..maybe, but for me me the 12 step recovery programme.today i do not suffer from alcoholism "for we have ceased fighting anything even alcohol" a wise man learns from his mistakes,a wiser man learns from some1 elses" learn from mine dont mess around with this get a sponsor whos had a spiritual awakeining as a result of the steps and ask them for help

The advice given to you is where the solution is, the big book, meetings, a sponsor, and lots of sober support, the steps will help you deal with those feelings of guilt, and give you the opportunity to make amends. We can't change the past, but we can take conrol of our future, one day at a time.
