First of all, welcome tlblock, and second, congratulations on deciding to not drink tonight! You will get tons of support from the great people here. They are mostly just like you, regular people who are trying to stop drinking or who already have stopped. I am about 10 days shy of two months. For me it was a little weird for the first few days, but I sure did notice an improvement of my life when I quit. No more headaches in the morning, no more telling myself I have to stop drinking (why didn't I just stop already!?), no more spending $$$ on wine, it goes on and on. It is so much better to be a former drinker. So welcome to the club and I hope you find that the many benefits of being sober totally outweigh the supposed advantages of drinking. The truth is there are NO advantages to drinking.
Also, if you think you could use some real live people to support your decision try going to an AA meeting. It's a pretty amazing resource!

Welcome tlblock. This is a great site for support and help in getting of the mad spinning wheel of alcoholism! Sounds like you have a plan in place for tonight and no drinking. You can do this, the rewards are so many to list!!
Hi Tlblock.
Well done for making a life changing decision and one that will surely benefit you short and long term.
Remember to post when felling low at any point we have all been there and will help you through. Drink plenty water, seriously drink plenty.
All the best

Please do everything in your will not to....I wish I would have done that Saturday night instead of drinking 3 glasses of wine, and driving home. Only I did not get home, but to the police station for OVI. A serious wake-up call and not wished upon anyone
Things will change for you when you decide you want to BE sober. When this happens, you will decide to remove the possibility of drinking for you. And you can, you can do this. Keep posting!
