greetings from Lurkerville

Hello Y'all - Here I am, a middle aged lady with a tendency to guzzle beer like a hedonistic spring breakin' college kid once or twice a week. It's downright unseemly!
Had an unrelated medical scare 9 years ago which led me to quit drinking completely for a year and a half due to a course of medication I had to do. Once said scare was behind me, I resumed my recreational discombobulating and..... well, you know...
Anyway, while at the moment I'm not ready to make any "forever" declarations I do want to stop again for at least a while and am finding it hard to get started. So I need support.
I've done a lot of lurkerish reading on this here forum over the past few weeks and it's been super inspiring. So, thanks for being here. You seem like an awesome community.

Welcome jesternudder,

You could stop for a month, you never know you might like it and continue.

hello jesternudder
If you are not ready to stop for 'forever', just stop 'now'(and let them all add up)

all the 'nows' that is

Welcome Jester!

You'll love sobriety so much you'll commit to forever, just you wait and see.

See you around here,

June

welcome jesternudder

I'm not a woman, but it wasn't very seemly for me either.
I much prefer the sober me - it's the authentic article

you'll find a lot of support here

Pleased to meet you Jester.

I was doing the same thing - and it was costing me big time. Was up to a 30 pack a day (talk about unseemly) and I wasn't even enjoying it. That numb, foggy feeling meant I wasn't even participating in life. It had to go. Glad to have you join us! I think it will really help you.
