I am also new to the site.
I have decided I can't keep drinking, because I no longer stop at a couple. Problem is the people I am around, My husband, My sister, brother, Brother in law - they are all drinkers. And I mean every time we get together. Then it got to where my Husband would come home & have a few drinks. So I figured if he was drinking so could I. But I would make several, and then figure the only way I was getting a good night sleep is if I drank until I passed out.
Again not a good example for my kids. My Teen has expressed how she no longer wants to be around me when I'm drinking.
I am hoping to maybe find some support some where else.
I think my greatest challenge will be doing anything socially without having a drink. But today is day 2, And you have to start somewhere.
Anyhow how to meet some wonderful, wise people here.

Welcome Jules and I am glad you found this place as I am glad I found this place. We all support each other the best we can and there are a lot of good people here to listen to you. I wasn't there as much as I should have been when my kids were teenagers and this is one of the things that I regret but it is never too late to repair the damage. You can do this if you really want to. Good luck.

Welcome Jules. It has been kinda fun and refreshing doing everything sober the last 10 days. What an awakening, been feeling great. Still get the cravings and the 'stinking thinking'... but it does pass. It has helped me to come to this site often and read the postings. Lots of great insight here.
Glad you've chosen recovery and very glad you found us!
