Hi. Not happy to be here. Certain I am not the first or the last to feel that way. I have a drinking problem. Binge drinker, a couple times a week. Hubby has told me that he has had enough. So, I found you and here I am. BIG sigh....

Welcome summer. Actually, this is a great place to be. Lots of really good support and we've all been where you are and understand. Read around and don't be shy to post.

I'm glad you're here. I hope you are ready to stop drinking. You will find lots of support and information here.

Thanks Anna. I admit that I am not ready to quit. I like it. I know I have a drinking problem but I don't believe I am an alcoholic. I know I should be doing this for me. For my health. Not just for my marriage. But I am. Sigh.

Good to meet you, SBS. We all understand just how you feel. Taking this first step & admitting you need to stop is huge. Talking things over here helps with the anxiety you're feeling.

JD

You don't need to label yourself as anything. But if alcohol is causing problems in your life it's time to take a close look at what benefit you're getting from it. There's actually a great life to be had without drinking.

Hi SBS. Welcome. I'm having a 'sigh' moment too. Ya don't want to quit.....what to say? But you have to for the hub. Is that gonna work?

Welcome to the family. I didn't want to quit either. Didn't know what I'd do if I didn't drink. Turns out, I can do anything I want to do, and do it better sober. And I'm not waking up feeling awful and hating myself.

When I first got sober, I did it for my dogs and cats, to take better care of them. But now I'm doing it for me.
