First of all, welcome tlblock, and second, congratulations on deciding to not drink tonight! You will get tons of support from the great people here. They are mostly just like you, regular people who are trying to stop drinking or who already have stopped. I am about 10 days shy of two months. For me it was a little weird for the first few days, but I sure did notice an improvement of my life when I quit. No more headaches in the morning, no more telling myself I have to stop drinking (why didn't I just stop already!?), no more spending $$$ on wine, it goes on and on. It is so much better to be a former drinker. So welcome to the club and I hope you find that the many benefits of being sober totally outweigh the supposed advantages of drinking. The truth is there are NO advantages to drinking.
Also, if you think you could use some real live people to support your decision try going to an AA meeting. It's a pretty amazing resource!
