New Here

i'm new here, so I just wanted to say hello and happy Friday.

I'm a little anxious about the weekend, so i promised myself that i will come here first when i start to think about drinking. My AV started talking to me yesterday. She always gets loud when i start feeling really good and have lots of energy. She would rather have me sit on my butt and drink beer all weekend instead of getting all the things done that i have been wanting to.

I know i can get though tonight because i have a late night Yoga class and i'm exhausted after and ready for bed. It's tomorrow i worry about because i keep hearing that i don't have a problem, what's wrong with having a few beers? It's the weekend, you worked hard all week. Kick back and enjoy yourself. blaaa blaaaa blaaaa...

Anyhow so grateful to have found this site.

Welcome Meshelly! Someone is always here on SR if you need help, don't listen to that AV and have a good weekend.

Welcome, Meshelley The more you realise the lies your AV feeds you, the easier it is to ignore her. But if you need any reinforcements, we are here!

Hey Meshelly welcome!

As mentioned, there's always people here, so if tomorrow becomes too tempting, come join us again for a bit! I think you might find that it does help to abstain, which can be more difficult in the beginning.
It's tomorrow i worry about because i keep hearing that i don't have a problem, what's wrong with having a few beers?
Listen to your real voice of reason. I think we all know if this has become a problem or not, however many of us choose to pretend otherwise. I know that I did big time, even though deep inside I knew.

Again, welcome.
