New and Looking for a Change

Hello there,

I'm a 23 year old male in Texas, and i've finally decided to stop just telling myself that I was going to stop drinking and begin chatting with others out there. My family has a pretty intense history of addiction, mainly with alcohol, and so all reason points to the fact that I myself should abstain from use. However, I have only recently begun reflecting on this issue. Given many social situations that i'm in, i've done my best with the "moderation" attempts, yet while it works sometimes I continue finding myself in the position of wanting to achieve total abstinence.

I look forward to posting and chatting on SR, and to a future in which alcohol is not even a consideration.

Good decision. I only wish I had been mature enough 30 years ago to make that same choice. Stay off 6th Street!

So happy to meet you I90! I agree with Hypocritical - would love to have back the decades I squandered on drinking. You're doing a great thing. Glad to have you with us.
