want to stay sober.

I'm hoping this will help me not drink on weekends. I do fine all week but weekends seem to get the best of me.

Your name kind of implies you are going to meetings. How's that?

Welcome! We r here for u
The prob as alkis is that we are allergic to alcohol so we can NEVER drink successfully again. You're exactly where I was round 3 yrs ago but I'd never heard of recovery let alone AA. If we can save you yrs of misery including arrests, incarcerations, probation, fees, fines etc the list honestly is endless, then you search your heart as honestly as you can & decide. Btw, there's nthg to be ashamed about if u're an alcoholic!! You live happier & function better in society
Hope I helped

I got to the point where I wanted to be sober more than I wanted to drink. I'm still here going strong 60 days later. SR is great for support!

This for me is the key. I just finally had had enough.

If you want to get sober, stop drinking. Simple but not easy. Distract yourself when you get cravings. Don't buy any alcohol. Don't go to places where there will be drinking. And yes, you've got to want to be sober more than you want to drink.

Welcome snohomishaa

Lots of people find that working the 12 steps with a sponsor really helps.
