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....

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.

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.

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.
