Hi, new here.
Hi from the UK.
Just new here and have been getting some inspiration for STOPPING tomorrow!!
Will try and stay around to keep motivated.
After drinking 10-30 uk units a day for 20 years something has to give.

There is definitely a lot of inspiration and support here. I unfortuntely have some 20+ years of insanity drinking under my belt as well.
Time to take control of the wheel...
Glad you're here.

Thanks for the lovely welcome.
I will post a little more about myself, my background and my future sober aims tomorrow but more importantly (hopefully) on saturday morning following my first sober 24 hours for many a year.

Pleased to meet you, Stryker. SR has saved my life - I was never able to stay quit until I found this place. You aren't alone any more. Please do tell us more about you when you feel like it. Sending hope and love over the big water to you.

Well last night saw me downing my LAST drink. I am determined that this must STOP!!
After 20 years of solid drinking at least x5 the reccomended alcohol units i have made the decision to quit. I cannot controll my drinking in the normal way, say drinking once a week or less wine per night so i have to stop completely.
I'm not sure how i came to the decision to stop, no bolt from the blue, no big row or getting into trouble. I think its just the case of enough is enough before too much damage is done to my health.
I guess i'm what is known as a functioning, dare i say it?....yes.... alcoholic.
Outwardly i have a charmed life. A good job large house three good kids and a loving wife. So why drink every night??? Habit? stuck in a rut? who knows.
I'm not really sure what to expect as this is the only time i have quit!! But i am determined that with the support from SR then this is the first day in my new life.
