Hello everyone

After months of reading this site, and despite many efforts to stop drinking, some for lengthy periods and some not, thought actually signing up and posting might help.

I think this site is remarkable and it's been of great help to me the last couple of years despite my lurking rather than posting.

I want my life to improve, I need my life to improve and I know it can only do so without alcohol. Anyway, don't want my first post to be a 'this is me, I'm messed up' kind of message so I'll just say thanks to all who run and post on this site and that I look forward to trying to contribute.

Welcome to the family, northernsoul. We're so glad to have you with us.

It helped me immensely when I joined here. I had felt all alone until I found so many who were just like me. No one else in my life had a problem controlling their drinking. You can get free of it - we'll help.

Thank you. It's appreciated. I've had an issue with drink since my early 20's and I'm now in my early 30's and it my reluctance to address the situation has caused me more embarrassment, chaos and unhappiness than I'm willing to tolerate any longer.

Think I'm going to attend my first meeting this week, which will be a massive deal for me.

Thanks for your reply.
