It starts right now... has to

Wow, scared to death... but I have to start someplace and bottom is where its at so here I am. I've pretty much been drinking daily for 5 years now, sometimes half a pint sometimes 3/4's and sometimes a whole pint over several hours. Can't keep doing so, so after a pretty crappy fewdays of feeling plain awful and ignoring my body, I poured out what I staree to drink and signed up here... been through this once before - 18 months sober and then a huge lif event drew me back in. So here I am broken...

If you are broken, this is a good place for mending.

Minion, welcome! You've done the right thing to start by pouring out your stock!

Stick around here and you'll get lots of support. I especially recommend you check out the class for people starting on sobriety this month: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ay-2014-a.html

And as someone wrote to me when I was new to SR: post post post!

It's great to meet you Minion. You'll find the encouragement you need here.

I drank daily for many years. I can't believe I ever let that happen. I was in deep trouble when I found SR. Just knowing I wasn't alone anymore meant everything. I was so afraid to let go of it, but now I can't imagine going back to that painful old life. I'm so glad you found us and decided to get your life back.

You can do this Minion.
