New Member - Hello

Hi all,

I was going to post a big post here, which ive now edited to this, as this is the newbie forum and I see there are more specific forums for my questions,

This will be my (insert random number here) time stopping drinking, and the (insert random number here) website ive joined.

This is day one, It was day two yesterday but well, i had a drink last night (mind it was only half of my usual evening consumption), so I am back with day one.

Hello everyone, i hope you are well

AoS

Argent,

Welcome. If you have stopped several times, and joined several websites, what are you going to do differently this time around? Obviously stopping and website support is not enough.

Thats a very good question dgillz, and one I dont have an answer for at this time, to quote the post i just posted in the alcoholism forum (sorry cant link under 15 posts)

@paulo, great work glad to hear you are feeling well after 6 days

Welcome Argent! Maybe some face to face support will help you maintain your sobriety? There are plenty of options out there. AA, Smart Recovery...maybe some counseling?



Best Wishes To You!

Welcome, and all that. I have a feeling I know the one thing that you need to do to make this the last website and the last quit day. I will paraphrase another member here without attribution.
"What is your plan for your future use of alcohol? Are you going to drink again in this lifetime, or are you not? Once you answer this question, everything else will be much easier. Although you may not believe it yourself at the moment, you can make a plan and do this."

Keep posting, Ag. Lots of support around here.
