hi rmeatgt

I wonder sometimes if we do ourselves a disservice by thinking of alcoholism as a disease - it kinds makes us the passive victim, like we have little or no say in what we do and thats just not right.

We have absolutely the last word on what we decided to do - always. Noone here needs drink if they don't want to

If you need to find a new way to chill out, then find it.
Exercise works great for me.

If you need more support, then find it.

If you need more help in using the support you have, ask for it.

If you need to make changes in your lifestyle, jot down what they might be and what you can do about it.

I'm not picking on you btw - this is stuff for everyone

these are, IMO, the two golden links for newcomers - I hope you guys will read through them
