zorah

It relieves me to have stumbled on to this community. I come from a long line of alcoholics and am nowhere near that yet (no physical addiction; not a lot of alcohol), but I know the red flags (drinking alone; drinking only to medicate myself; feeling like a completely new woman the moment liquor seeps into my system; fearing alcohol and trying to analyze how many glasses of this or that I can safely drink; making rules to control my drinking that i then break; throwing out liquor to stop altogether and then buying it again etc. you all know the drill). I swore off it 2 weeks ago because I noticed how obsessive I was becoming.

I only mention all this because I don't feel I would fit into any treatment program, yet I do need some kind of support to stick to what my gut tells me is a slippery slope. SR really offers that and makes me feel that I can log on here if my palms get sweaty when I pass by the liquor aisle in the grocery store.

Thanx to all and sundry. :-)

Blessings,

Hi zorah, I can relate, though I went way on farther down the road of active addiction than you. I know that stage very well.

Welcome, glad you got here before the bus not only hit you, but backed over you and then dragged you down the road.
