Be here, post often, read, learn and post before you drink so you can succeed with the support of all of us. Welcome!
Hey simplyfree. Thanks for your advice in how to use the forums. What a great way to think that I can have a community where I can post if and when I am tempted. Lots of my family and friends will not understand as they will say things like'but you're so much fun when you're drunk' but I am loosing so much of my precious life to this and as you know it does not fit in with looking after a baby when you're filled with anxiety or being sick from a binge session. And to think of all the money I could save and spend on my son through not buying alcohol. I look forward to seeing your posts and perhaps we can catch up more parent to parent. Thanks.
