Welcome to SR, Faukner!
I'm glad you found us. Different people stop at different points of this progressive disease. Some don't stop until it kills them. Alcohol is a tyrant. I hope you find freedom from it, as many of us have.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I posted again in a separate thread.
Faulkner, I drink mostly alone in my home office after hours or with my boyfriend (he does not have a drinking problem). I believe my older children who live with me suspect I was drinking too much. I have not shared with anyone accept you folks that I have stopped or that I suspect a problem with alcohol. Three days now...
Faulkner, have you gone to AA meetings at all?
Like you, most people would be shocked that I have a drinking problem. But it is clear to me.
I know I need to look at the issues underlying the alcohol...I am going to need some help. I have the propensity to try to do things alone...
Sorry if I've hijacked your thread Faulkner...

Welcome Faulkner, i am a youngen like you (im 20)- i learned by example of my elders too, i've drank since 14- knew by 17 that i could have a prob but my drinking got pretty bad before i finally threw the towel in. There are a lot of things we will not have to go through- (or put loved ones through) quitting now. If i lift another drink- all those YETS will materialise tho i know that much. I am glad you have decided on a new way to live- i have been sober a few months...and am learning and changing so much already. Keep us posted on how u doing
