It's Time

I'm 34 year old male and need to make this change. I'm scared but hope to find support here and at meetings.

Hi JJF and welcome!!!
You are in the right place for support!
Have you quit your DOC yet?
What is the plan?
Keep sharing and if that is your plan, get to a meeting ASAP!!!

Hi TTOSBT,
Thanks for the welcome. What does "DOC" mean?

Welcome! I found this site about a month after I started meetings. It has given me a lot of support. We all started out scared. You can do this.

You will definitely find support here and I would say you would at meetings also.

Welcome to SR and keep reading and posting! 34 years is a good time to make a change and so is 20, 21, 22, . . . Seriously, welcome to the family!

Drug of Choice. Like alcohol, etc.
Have you gotten sober yet or is that the plan?

Yea alcohol is my only drug, but I drink plenty of it...I wouldn't say that I have quit yet, but embarking on it. I'm watching sunday football without drinking for the first time in a long long time...gotta start somewhere, right?

Thanks to all that replied to this thread. Seems like a friendly place here. :-)

Good for you!

I remember watching Superbowl without drinking this year (I was not sober yet, just trying to prove to myself that I could do it) and it was VERY strange. I remember it all!

Welcome again, you are in the right place!
Go Chargers!!

Come join us on the October thread for people who got (or are getting) sober in the month of October. It's to support each other.
