Hi and welcome Tmcginnis

For me posting and reading here daily really helped me accept that I had a problem and there was no way for me to have a normal relationship with alcohol.

I suggest you do the same - read around even if you don't post - and don't wait for the weekend - be prepared now - get some ideas...make a plan

we're all different

that just don't drink message was very reassuring to me - I could take this immense problem and boil it down to a simplicity my brain could just about handle.

'Don't drink have faith, and things will get better' is probably the most beautiful sentence I read in those early days

It gave a hopeless me a spark of hope
