I always had a knack for getting embarrassingly drunk at all the nice soiree's (sp?). Too many Company Christmas parties I wish I could forget.
My drinking had gotten to a point that my dh was going to leave with the kids to protect them until I got the help I needed to stop for good. I don't think i've ever been that nervous walking into the first meeting, but I was lucky to find a great group.
There's nothing wrong with quitting while you're ahead. Talk here all you can, start posting on the October sobriety thread. We're all in early days.
And welcome if I didn't say so before
