I've been online all day, first reading, then joining, now posting.
I quit drinking yesterday. I didn't plan it, I just did it. Then I looked up quitting online and have been reading and writing stuff ever since. I'm not sure AA is for me, and I'm not sure I can do it alone so the web has been a great support so far. I'm definately not alone, so many things resonate with me.
I started a
blog, basically talking to myself, but it already feels like a lifeline.
Basically, I drank every day for 20 years and in the last 6 months had progressed to a 12 pack of beer minimum daily. I worked full-time at a law firm and am a single mom of 4 kids. On Feb 26th I lost my job, and yesterday I quit drinking.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I'll be lurking and posting and holding on. Thanks for being here!
