Newbie Here

Hi Everyone,

I am a long time lurker who has summoned up the courage to finally join. I am a wife, a mom, a professional, and an alcoholic. I have had a love/hate relationship with alcohol since my early 20s. Now days, the scale is definitely tipped more towards the hate side and I am disgusted with the power this stuff has over me. Over the last 15 years or so, my drinking has gone from being a social lubricant to a part of my daily routine. It's time for the progression to stop. I look forward to "hanging" out with everyone and getting myself on the right track.
