to SR! I'm glad you have joined us. It feels good to actually put it out there that you have a problem, doesn't it? It sure felt like a weight off my shoulders when I made my first post here. It sounds like you recognized your problem at a fairly early stage and that is fantastic! Trust me, you are making the best decision of your life getting off the drinking path now. No more headaches, forgetfulness and regret for you! Now you get to enjoy a clear head and delicious baked treats.
As for the drugs, I can totally relate. I had friends in the past who smoked weed a lot and I never did because I knew where that would lead. Darn addictive personality!
