Where did my thread go?
I thought I posted a new thread in an attempt to regain contact with you lovely people on here. In brief (in case it doesnt work again) I found this site in November but having seen an alcohol counsellor have been trying to moderate and control my drinking. Now I have well and truly learnt that having a drink means a BATTLE (always wanting more - always ending up feeling like death on Mondays) I have to get with a program.
I hope to make new friends and gain support as I feel very alone - not that I dont deserve it.
I will post more later - in case this disappears like my last (much longer one) did.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome Pumpkin Soup! This is a great site with tons of nice people. I'm glad your seeing someone for your drinking. Moderating never worked for me either. It was all or nothing. I let go of the madness and my life has improved immensely. You can do this!!
Best Wishes To You!

Welcome Pumpkin! I tried moderation, too. Never worked for me, either. It was harder than not drinking at all. Very frustrating for the hour or so that I managed it, then I ended up drunk anyway. I'm glad you're back here.

Welcome ((Pumpkin))!! SR has been a huge part of my recovery, and it's great knowing there are people here who "get" us and have yet to find a time, day or night, when there wasn't someone here
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Hi pumpkin - you hit the nail on the head when you called moderation a "battle" ....:camper::camper: I felt like my mind was at war with itself all the time.
As long as alcohol was in the picture, it was all about how much, when, where, and why I needed just a half glass more, even after I had finished the bottle of wine that I had already told myself I wasn't going to drink....... It was like being killed with a thousand cuts.....
I'm glad today that I can't moderate (never thought I'd be typing those words!)..... When I think about what my brain and liver have probably gone through, just having a few (even if I could keep the obsession at bay) would be really unhealthy I'm sure. Glad you're back!
