newbie

Just wanted to introduce myself. I started abstaining fro alcohol 3 days ago. So far pretty good. I had a bad afternoon and almost used it as an excuse to drink. But, I didn't. Looking forward to learning the site

Welcome, takencontrol; so very glad you found us.

Well done on 3 days.

As you navigate the Forum, be sure to have a look at the Stickies at the top of the Newcomer's, Newcomer's Daily Support, and Alcoholism forums; there is some great info in those.

Welcome! Don't let a bad day ruin your had work. Have a plan for things to do when you feel like drinking.
Instead of drinking, I will:
go for a walk
read
write
cook
go to the store
visit a friend
watch a movie

Anything!
