New Member, Looking For Support

Hi all,

I'm new here. I'm 48 and have been drinking pretty heavily since my 20's.
I've been an every day drinker, but now I'm a binger. I can get 3-4 days sober, but once I take that first drink all bets are off. I also don't eat when I drink, which I'm sure isn't good.

I think I could use some face-to-face support so I think I'm ready to try AA.
If I can just get over my anxiety about going.

I'm on day two today, and have a queasy stomach and my palms are sweating. Nothing too bad, but I intend to get my liver function tested.

I've been reading a lot of the posts here, and they've helped immensly. Just to know I'm not alone and that there is a way out of this habit of mine which has gotten out of control.

I'd appreaciate any advice, and I look forward to getting to know the people here.
I know I won't drink today.

Thanks,

Ghost
