Welcome to Sober Recovery, aimeysue. What brings you here exactly? I assume you have an alcohol or other drug issue. If so, these forums are an amazing source of support for those trying to live a better life in recovery. I look forward to getting to know you better.

thank you all for the welcomes. I am currently struggling to get control of a drinking problem. And before i get a huge lecture about how that is impossible, believe me I do know, and am struggling to merely decide and completely quit. I know that if I continue the way I am going, it will only get worse. I am not completely new to AA or NA as i have in the past been through the recovery process as I was formerly addicted to Meth and Crack, but in the past 24 years I have not used any drug save alcohol, which I only in the past year and a half began to have a problem with. my husband also drinks and does not seem to have a problem with his drinking and I have not told him that I think I have a problem for various reasons. 
Anyhow, those are the very bare bones reasons I am here, and I am not truly sure what I am asking for, other than to have a place where I can work through all of my bull and perhaps come to a better conviction ..... that I may be well. and sober. and just a more whole person again. feeling a bit better today but not out of the woods yet.

It sounds like you've been around the block with the whole recovery and sober thing, thus i'm sure you know more about it than myself. However I can relate to you, as I sense from your post that you might have a strong addictive personality, like myself. I'm also a drug addict, and i'm an alcoholic. Personally, I think it's impossible to be a drug addict, and then not be an alcoholic...it's the same disease, just different substances.
Good luck finding peace in your decisions about whether to seek sobriety, or experiment with moderation.
