Welcome!

I also drank at home, alone and completely isolated myself by the end of my drinking days. We do understand how hard this is.

And welcome. Your in a good place with good help and advice here. Years ago before the internet I had the help from AA that got me through the trying beginning period. The bottom line is being honest with ourselves and not picking up the first drink, that is what gets us drunk. I suggest reading a lot of threads for ideas and post for support. BE WELL

Congrats Fustina! I have been sober for 11 days now. I have drank almost every day for the last 13 years except when I was pregnant with my 4 year old daughter. I decided to quit because I wanted it, not because other people wanted me too.
