Hi Walte

Welcome to SR

My first step was making a commitment not to drink today. I've done that 'today' for nearly 3 years now.

It took a lot of drinking to get me to that point tho, and a lot of failures to get me to accept I was an alcoholic, that every drink was bad for me, and that I needed to do everything I could not to drink again.

It took even more work to be 'ok' with being and living sober too.

I don't want to put you off - it's not easy - but it is possible. And you'll find a great bunch of people here who've done it, in a variety of different ways.

You'll find lots of support here.

Don't rule any avenue of support out just yet, Walte - you may be grateful for it later
