Welcome, Ian! You've found a great site.
I'm Rowan, alcoholic, and I'm in Canada like Dan - but he's NORTH of me (and nearly everyone else!)
Hope to see more of your posts. Keep coming back.

Ian:
Welcome aboard. Not sure what the Help" is that you may need, but chances are..... you have just found it. My name is Three Legs, and I am an alcoholic.

Many of the folks here have 1) either strange sleeping patterns, or 2) live in another time zone than me, but 24/7 access to the forums is wonderful indeed. Hope to catch up with you live-time as well as reading your posts. I also stay in touch with a few Kiwi's and Aussies in Instant Messenger. It's been awesome. Nice to hear about planting & harvesting the Garden down under while I am in the midst of Winter.

((((((((((Ian)))))))))))) Kiss Heart of Spirit,
In Love & Service,
Three Legs, a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous

I'm striving for my first day of sobriety. Does anyone know if there is an herb that decreases alcohol cravings? Thank you.

Hi Ian, I am also a POM living in Australia. We all have a common problem... staying sober. Its good to come to SR and see how everyone else is managing.
After 10 days of being sober I convinced myself that I didn't really have a problem so I had a drink and got drunk!! I am now back to day 3 and reminding myself that I DO have a problem and life is much better sober.
