Introducing myself...
Introducing myself...
I'm new to this forum, and just thought I'd introduce myself.
The reason I've signed up is after finding myself at A&E, displaying moderate withdrawals after a five day binge last Friday. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror when the nurse was taking my blood pressure and thought ' WHAT THE **** AM I DOING?!'
It has been seven days and I have not had a drink.
I find myself at 25 with 7 years of binge drinking under my belt; leaving me overweight, disorganised and most importantly unhappy.
I've decided I'm going to turn it round this time... without relying on myself alone (as it has proven unsuccessful).
I have referred myself to an addiction recovery programme, beginning AA meetings and joined this forum.
I'm hitting this on head for good - getting my mind and body back. This time I'm not doing it alone.
Apologies for the rambling, cathartic opening.
Cheers guys!

Great to meet you closetlobster. You found a great place for friendship & enouragement. Be glad you're tackling this now - some of us waited many more years, with disastrous results. You can do this!
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I've now posted a few replies to other posters. I think giving support can be as therapeutic as receiving it.
Feeling like joining was a good move

Now that's over, it's the road to permanent abstinence. But as they say, one day at a time.
Thanks
