thank you
ok look i'm not use to this whole opening up thing. All i will say is i lost a lot of people (important people) in my life.. i'm not good with opening up,in fact i hate it.. I have a problem and been having this problem for the last 10 years.. drinking is my friend it makes me feel good but it's also my enemy . Been wanting to go A.A. meetings but i guess i'm afraid.. anyways i just felt like saying something..Thank you for listening..

the fact that you want to get better is a good start. I have been sober for nearly 3 months and I wish you could glimpse the happy changes, difficult some days but the rewards are great. keep it together and start a new life.
All the best for 2014- make it your year.

Lots of people here to listen, or just quietly support your efforts to make positive changes in your life. I think most people are fearful about opening up to others, some just hide it better than others.

Yeppers I used both AA and here for the first three months and then just here after a week long hospital detox and a few days of rehab. Just go to a meeting and find out what resources are in your area. If you are still drinking go to a meeting whenever you need a break from reading and posting here. But only when you are ready. I quit every morning for my last two years drinking. I'm lucky I survived. Nothing worked until I decided I needed help and checked into the VA hospital for a week long medical detox to avoid seizures, and be locked up until I was detoxed. But first I decided I wanted to quit once, for good, never to drink again. No conditions. No mixed feelings. I can never drink again without getting hooked again immediately.
The good news, I no longer have to. See, drinking was great when it was voluntary. Not at all when it became mandatory.
