Hi mdw I was a daily drinker, I am a member of AA and celebrating 2 months sober tomorrow. I live in a town called Carrickfergus Northern Ireland, welcome to SR I find it really useful and love the 24 hour club, where you sign up for 24 hours of sobriety.

Welcome mdw,
You'll find people from all over and all different walks of life, plenty of space to share and read. I'm from Northern England.

Thanks for the responses. I am not sure what the right program is for me. I typically drink out of boredom or after coming home from work. I have lost the ability to enjoy most things..I can usually go a day or two and then it's a least a litre..not sure where to start.

I'm from the west of Scotland, still call it home, though I haven't lived there for about 20 years.

Welcome. I'm in Brooklyn NY. Sounds like my drinking style. I was so sick of it and then my body just told me enough was enough. Not easy to stop but gets better.

MDW, in order to find a program for you, maybe you can try a few to see if you like? There is AA, rational recovery, Smart recovery, AVRT (addictive voice recognition technique). There are many options.

But the first step is wanting sobriety ;-)
Hope you find your path!

Hi and welcome. I'm from as far east as one can go in Massachusetts.
I had to find out the hard way to start on the road to sobriety ASAP because procrastinating it does not lessen any struggles getting sober.

BE WELL
