Day 1
Not interested in attending AA but am finally taking one step forward and am registered to this site. Thank you for having a forum for me to reach out. Pretty down and out. I feel like life is just constantly overwhelming for me and I'm sick of coping with these challenges through booze. Feel that I have so much to be thankful for and great people in my life. Just need to get a hold of this addiction before it drowns me.

Glad to meet you GentleSoul. SR worked miracles for me after a lifetime of letting alcohol be in charge of my life.
It's meant so much to me to have a place where everyone understands what I'm going through. I had no one else in my life to talk to about my feelings - they were all social drinkers. The feeling of relief I had by posting here was amazing. My anxiety lessened right away - and I grew strong enough to begin my new life. Hope you will feel the same.

Welcome. I am also very new to the forum and already find it helpful. Going to bed now grateful to have come through day 3 sober after a few months relapsed. The withdrawals are uncomfortable and at times scary but they Will pass. You have made a great decision here. Already i see myself making baby steps forward. Be gentle with yourself :-) you are worth it.
