I'm new here

Hi. I'm new here. I'm trying to break up with wine. I'm on Day 1. I am looking for some support, but want to be supportive to others as well. Very thankful for the Internet age and that a resource like this is out here - so thank you.

Welcome, and it really is like a break-up. We do understand how hard this is and I'm glad you found us.

Welcome, NatalieJane, to SR; glad you found us.

Wine was my poison, too. The good news is that you can set it aside forever and live very well, and happily, without it.

Hey NJ! It's not wine. It's alcohol. Leave it.

Welcome to the family. Wine was my drink too. I broke up five and a half years ago and only wish I'd done it sooner.

Great to have you with us, Natalie. There's plenty of encouragement to be found here. We all understand how hard it is to learn to live without it - but each day will get a bit better. Day One - something to be proud of.
