"i dont know how to live without a drink"

this is my definition of alcoholism. You CAN stay stopped, too! Start one day at a time and move forward. You can do this!

Hi there. I was in your spot a few months ago. It is scary.

Have you done any reading? I read a book called "The Sober Revolution, Women Calling Time on Wine O'Clock" and it gave me the courage to try stopping. It was like reading about myself, and I realized I was not alone.

Keep checking in here. There is so much support and, again, you will find you are not alone. And changes can be made. It is not always easy, but it is always worthwhile.

((Hug))

Hi and welcome itsinhzhnds

Sounds like you need support, and you'll find a lot of that here.
Have you thought of joining a recovery group as well?

There's many different approaches and methods of recovery around - here's some links to some of the main players:

I recommend you visit the Secular Connections forum if you think you may benefit from a non 12 step approach.'
