New Guy here

I just want to say that I stumbled across this site accidently just a week ago but I'm already starting to feel right at home here.I like group therapy so this is a good fit for me.2015 started out with me in a behavior health unit at a local hospital.I've been advised in the past to stop drinking, this time the staff was able to get it through my thick skull that I must stop drinking!I don't know what was different this time but I wholeheartily agreed with them.It's a new year, a great time to start a new way of living.I am lucky to say that I can do anything I want, I just can't drink Alcohol.I look forward to conversing with everyone on here,Thanks Mike

Welcome Mike. You'll find lots of support here.

Do you have a recovery plan in place? Lots of good ones are just waiting for you to discover and explore them.
AA, Smart Recovery, Rational Recovery, AVRT, etc. I use them all !

You may not have been in total denial...you may have lost your ability to make a choice...the choice to stop the drink. It happens.
