It's great to meet you Jents. I think you'll find the encouragement and support here to be very helpful. I felt so much better when I joined - knowing I never had to be alone on my journey.
I drank almost 30 yrs. - long after it stopped being enjoyable I clung to it. I always thought it was helping me cope - but all it did was hold me down and keep me from experiencing life fully. You don't need it. I'm glad you realize that. We're happy you're here.
