Welcome Tallguy - I'm so glad you're here. When I first joined I was amazed at how comforting it was to be able to talk about my drinking. I had no one else to discuss it with - everyone in my life were social drinkers & couldn't understand what I went through.
I hope you'll keep posting - you're not alone anymore. You've made a very good decision to stop this before your life is completely out of control. (Wish I had.)
