Hi

I'm new here. Been making some poor choices lately. I need to make a change. I need to say goodbye to alcohol. I'm analyzing and over analyzing how to do it. I would really like to be quiet about it.... no big announcements about my new found sobriety, just a new quieter less dramatic life.

Getting sober will definitely cut down on drama in your life.

I have a very peaceful happy life now that I'm sober. I hope the support here can help you get sober for good.

Welcome!

I think it's good that you recognize alcohol brings drama into your life. My wife and I have a much more peaceful existence since we quit drinking.

I hope you let SoberRecovery become a part of your plan. Read around and post often--it works if you work it!
