taking control introduction - hi :)
Hi 
I just wanted to introduce myself to the community and let you know how excited I am that I found a site like this. I have never felt like I belonged any where in life but can see I fit right in here 
I have made the decision to stop drinking alcohol, period, forever. It brings nothing good to my life! I have struggled with alcohol for years and years. The only way my life can improve is if I cut off all ties with booze.
I am looking forward to growing with your community. I not only am looking for support but am just as willing to give it Lord knows I am going to need a support base as I know this journey is not going to be an easy one. But, I am determined, no matter what, to stay sober. If I don't I will never be able to be a good person spiritually, mentally or physically....any aspect, really. All areas of my life suffer immensely when I have alcohol any where in the equation of my life! When alcohol is in the picture NOTHING else matters. Nothing! It takes EVERY thing away from me. I hate it! It owns me...I have NO CONTROL. And I won't allow it to run my life for another day! I am taking back the reigns and making sobriety my number one priority because without it I have nothing and will never grow to be the person I am suppose to be and the person I want to be!
So, here I am marking my spot with day 1 in the threads and holding myself 100% accountable to my choice to STOP DRINKING!

It is wonderful you have decided to stop. Will power is extremely important but it is usually not enough.
A well thought out plan which includes a support system and changes in your life will dramatically increase the likelihood of success.
