Welcome to the SR family.

I am also a wine lover. I am also an alcoholic and am now a sobriety lover!

I lurked here for a while and did a lot of reading before I joined. The information that grabbed my attention was under the Alcoholism Section, the second sticky that contains excerpts from the book "Under the Influence".

That information resonated with me. Helped me understand why I could not control my drinking. It explained my addiction to alcohol. I purchased the book and read it cover to cover.

After I joined SR, I made a few posts but mostly continued to read. Use the site as you need and your needs may change. You may need support more in the beginning, then you may need to share more of your experience, then you may need to see others beginning in their recovery to remind you of where you started. It's all here and it's all good!
