Hello.

I'm Mairie (Mary) and a binge drinker. Not had anything since last Saturday as it was getting more and more frequent.

I've read the forums on-and-off for a few months now and thought perhaps, if I join, then when the next cravings start (hopefully never), I'll be able to pop here instead.

Great to be here

You wouldn't be here if you didn't see a problem. You are in a safe place. Welcome

Hi Geno. Yeah, there is for sure, a problem. I'm fine if I don't take that first sip.
Thanks for the welcome

Welcome Marie. Do you have a plan to stay sober this weekend? That first drink is the one that defeats us.

Hi. Yes! I deliberately bought a whole pile of things on Ebay (I needed them, as just moved) so have left myself with no money until a week Monday

I probably didn't need the denim jacket with Mickey Mouse on it though

Welcome aboard! I was also a very bad binge drinker, it's a miserable lifestyle. The cravings will surely come again, but SR can help you deal with them better.

Thanks SoberHoopsFan I find summer easier not to drink, as the hot weather reminds me of withdrawals sweating all the time. Winter, now that's a whole new ball game
