Hello Everyone!
I have been visiting this site for awhile now and decided it is time to join.
So many of you have the same situation as myself.
I didn't think I had a problem, always making excuses to myself and telling myslef I can stop drinking anytime- that I am in control of my drinking. When in fact, after I have that first drink or glass of wine- I no longer have control. It controls me.
So many of the posts I have read are so familiar- can;t stop after I start drinking. Often times have no intention of drinking, but I then reach for a glass of wine an end upi drinking the entire bottle, if not more.
I am looking forward to being part of this group.
Today is a New Beginning!!!

Glad you're ready for a new beginning - that's awesome.
I can relate to thinking I was in control of my drinking (until I started trying to stop!). It took a real commitment and reaching out for support before I got back on the road to recovery.
You really can do this (one day at a time). I found that it got a little easier each day I didn't give in. We're glad you're here!!

hi Lockcap...
Even though I am also very new to the Sober Recovery group,
I am happy to welcome you and glad that you deceided to "join"...
So many us have been in your shoes with regard to admitting that
alcohol has become a problem for us!! The thought of Sobriety to
me is not about acheiving a "sober" destination, but enjoying my life
more fully as a "sober" journey....24 hours at a time!!
Best of luck to you!!
