Welcome back Sable, good decision I don't mean to nitpick, but you said . In my experience, it's easier to make changes when you *want* to make them, not necessarily out of a sense of obligation or because you're being forced to do so. Just a thought Keep reaching out!
I went to the doctor this morning actually and he confirmed that my health problems were all because of alcohol. He was going to look into some "outpatient program" (or whatever it's called), so I guess that's my plan for now. He allso suggested antabus, but the last time I took it it made me feel awful so I don't know...
But I am really motivated this time. Still feeling pretty bad from detoxing though....
Thanks for all the replies and nice words!

Good for you and I know that you can do this. If you quit now, all your health problems will just go away. give it a good try.
I drank so much over the years that you and I could swim in it....

Long term is going to be the real challange. I guess I'll have to find some friends who don't drink and some sort of support group... I know that It's gonna be hard to stick with it otherwise.
I use AA to maintain my sobriety, AA is not the only recovery program though, so check others out, as far as face to face support and making long term sober friends I doubt you will find any others like it though. I can travel to almost any where in the world and find AA face to face support.
I am going on vacation next week to Chincateague Va. which is just a tiny little Island and it has 2 meetings a week. Last time I was there I found some great folks there.
