Hi, I'm brand new to the group. I'm 56 and I've decided that it is time for me to stop drinking. I've been heavily drinking since I was about 25 and I'm aware that I'm screwing up my health and my family life. So today is the day that I'm going to start "not drinking."

Welcome!

I moved your post to a thread of its own so more members will see it.

I'm glad you've made the decision to stop drinking.

Welcome ParrotLover!

Do you have plans on how you're going to detox safely?
