I woke up a hundred times last night, thinking, thinking, thinking.
I discovered how very grateful I am for this website.

I have a tendancy to isolate. And with the new baby and the awful weather, it is harder than usual to get myself out the door to hook up with others for support. So this website has been my life-line. Without it, yes, I would have swore off the booze, but without any support, eventually, I would have talked myself back into drinking. BUT...now, when I lay in bed at night thinking, I think my feelings out, thinking about what I want to post the next day. Then, when I get up, I put the baby in her exer-saucer, pour a cup of coffee and get online for the support I need.

I truely believe that without this website, I would have picked up again. Let me re-phrase that, without everyone's support on this site, I would have picked up again.

Hi Tay lyn, Stick with it and we are all here for you!! Cute baby by the way, my son is seven and he is one of the reasons I have stopped drinking. I really enjoy my weekends with him now. Life really is for living.

I think support makes all the difference with me. I know my IRL network would try very hard to be supportive, there is an underlying feeling of resentment and judgement with regards of my drinking and my efforts to stop.

I have not seen judgement put onto others here, so I can say I'm more comfortable coming here than running to my IRL folks(at least for today).

I don't think I could have as resolved to take the first step to stop if I haven't lurked, and gotten the courage to post.
