The fact that you're reaching out is great, it means you're taking active steps to address your problem with alcohol. Many people never even get that far.

Good job! and welcome

Welcome to SR Wendy.

I'm so glad you found us. This is a wonderful place - the people here helped me quit and get back on my feet. I came here almost 6 yrs. ago and never left. I'm sure you'll find it a huge help - you're not alone.

Hi Wendy. Kicking the problem for good usually involves several steps, being here is a good one and going to AA is another. These places are teaming with people who understand what people are going through. Success in not drinking is to NOT swallow the first drink one moment/day at a time. That often managed by keep coming and keeping sobriety #1 in our goal for the day. BE WELL
