Newbie and here I am
I have been lurking for a few months but finally have the courage to post and admit my problem. I drank way too much wine tonight at a friend's house and today is day one of being sober.
I am not really sure how I got here but it pretty much started a couple years ago in January 2012 my father had a heart attack and my mom a type 1 diabetic was not well at all and ended up having to go into a nursing home and then passed away on May 1, 2012. I started Bingen drinking after that not everyday but when I drank it was to a point that I would always have too much.
I certainly have done things I am not proud of and I am ready to make a change for once and for all. I want/need to be a good example for my daughters and they don't dserve to see their mother like that anymore.
Thanks for letting me post and I look forward to making the change!

Hey and welcome,
You've come to a really great place. Congrats on posting, I know sometimes it's easier to just watch and read. You'll find so much support here.
I'm really sorry to hear about your parents.
Keep posting, and welcome......

Another mother wants in!!
I am encouraged by this thread. I was given a birthday message from soberrecovery, and saw 3 posts from this morning. The final comment of your post really resonates with me, for I too have daughters. I feel it is possible, for I have overcome cigarettes years ago and recently reread old writings of mine which reminded me how I thought it was next to impossible back then. I also must admit that I once had nearly 18 years sober, and casually slowly picked up an increasingly steady habit and I know that I cannot be moderate. Moderation is not possible, but sobriety is possible, one day at a time.
