Testing the waters
I am new to in anyway asking for help, but after a failed attempt to ask for help from my mother, I need someones help! I started drinking in excess about 7 years ago(with 2 years sober in 2008-09). I don't think I can do it without some sort of support so here I am???

I hate alcohol and everything I have done when using! I have in my mind found that not 1! Even though I have in the past thought I could control myself(typical I guess). I can't for me the only way to stop is to really STOP...
I am at the starting line here, and am so used to being the one to do everything for everyone its foreign for me to even open myself to being vulnerable so it will take some time for me to share my story. I am on reading all the articles, blogs, and forums and see so much of my story in them and they are very helpful!

Welcome! There is a lot of information here about different recovery methods, and many people with different experiences with them. I hope you find what you're looking for!
In my personal experience, my friends and family couldn't help me. They just couldn't understand. Talking with another alcoholic is what really helped me. I heard my story over and over again from other alcoholics, and I did what they did to stay sober.

Welcome, Peaches, glad you folife is so much und us here. There is a lot of support here for you.
Congratulations to you on your decision to choose sobriety. It is kinda scary at first, but life is so much simpler without alcohol. I am calmer, less prone to anger, and appreciate my life much more now. I bet you will say the same thing, and also, why did I not do this sooner?
Best to you.
