Hi, I'm new here, I found this site last night and decided today to join after seeing the immense amount of support and info here. I made the decision yesterday to quit drinking. I've known for a couple of months that I am an alcoholic, but have tried to deny it to myself in order to NOT face it and deal with it. It's just easier to tell myself I'll worry about it another day, right now the beer or the vodka or the tequila or whatever alcohol I have in the house is calling my name. I've steadily drunk more and more over the past 12 months. I finally got to the point where I'd open the fridge to get a bottle of water, and instead would pull out a beer. Whether it was 7am or 7pm. Now, today, only 24 hours sober I'm dealing with the pounding headache and trying to find something to do OTHER than drink. Sooo, here I am, reading through all the info and posts here and hoping this headache will pass soon. Let me just thank you all for all the wonderful support I've already seen here!
