Welcome to the family! I'd suggest as much reading about alcoholism as you can do. Arm yourself with information. I'm glad you decided to stop drinking. It's the best thing I ever did for myself.

Excellent! I poured out my box of wine the day I decided to quit. It was amazing to see it all go down the drain and realizing all of it would have gone through me if I hadn't quit! It sounds like you are sick and tired of being sick and tired so I'm confident you'll make it!

I'm only on day 2 and can't offer you much. Congratulations on pouring out the booze. I can't wait until I get my self-respect back and a normal sober life. I hope the same for you.

Hey there Landa! Welcome.. I am on Day 11. My first day I was pretty far down, lurked here and then started posting. I read all day long, still check in all day long. Read this site when you are feeling low. Lots of great stories.
I keep playing the tape through, as they say, to what happened 12 days ago when I even think I can drink, ugly.

Good luck!

Welcome Landa - it IS scary to quit, but take it one day at a time. Things are going to improve a little bit each day. Keep posting and reading - you're doing the right thing for yourself and those that love you!

I poured the wine down the drain for months prior to quitting and always thought it smelled awful. The day I quit I bought a whole 1.5. Liter of wine to drink and after 2 hours of not being able to force myself to drink it I poured it down the sink....it was a wonderful feeling.

Welcome and good luck! We are here for you!
