Hi All -

Just wanted to say hi - I just created an SR profile today… I’ve been trying to get sober from alcohol for a few weeks - been going to meetings, etc - it’s been a little rough lately - as opposed to my last time since I’m not really at a bottom… So my mind’s been telling me that it isn’t so bad to have a couple of drinks - or something like “one more day” or “after the world series” or “after the election”. So it goes on like that - and I keep functioning since I keep it to late night - but I’m really tired of it and the obsession.

So hopefully today is the day - I’ll look around for the best way to use the site… Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm glad you started your own thread nccal

SR really helped me in those times when I was feeling ok again and I decided I'd been overreacting and a few drinks were ok...All I have to do is re-read my own old posts or others to see that's simply not true.

Welcome aboard

Great to meet you, nccal. You'll feel right at home here - we all understand what you're going through.

I did the same thing for years - there was always a reason to put off quitting. Holidays, a wedding to attend, vacation, etc. I kept trying to manage it until I was drinking daily, with a life out of control. This won't happen to you. Welcome!

Welcome to the family. I hope our support can help you get sober for good. It takes some effort and changes, but it's worth it.

Welcome!
I mainly drank later on at night too. It was highly important for me to change my nightly routine and replace drinking with other relaxing things.
