New Beginning

Tired of trying to control my drinking. Today is beginning of the rest of my sober life. Found this site and decided to join after reading a few posts.

Hello, and welcome.
I could never control my drinking either.
You'll find a lot of support here. Congratulations on your decision to quit.

I tried controlling my drinking too.....I tried really, really, hard because I did NOT want to stop drinking. Over time I realized I couldn't control my drinking. This site has been really supportive.

Add me to the list of those who couldn't control their drinking. It was easier for me to quit entirely.

It's great to meet you Hunting.

It became exhausting for me too. I was so afraid to let go of it, but I was causing myself so much anxiety & stress. It feels wonderful to be free.
