that's right! When I decided I had enough In November the "after deer season" or "New Years" or "when the snow goes" thoughts came through my head. So glad I decided that day to do it and not look back or I would still be drinking I would have taken it easy for awhile everything would have smoothed over and what next? The next time I kill someone or myself driving? No thanks.

Welcome Carrie

Break it down - all any of us have to do is stay sober today...If 'forever' is freaking you out, 24 hours is a reasonable ask

There's a ton of support here

Alcohol can effect women a lot quicker than men.

I don't mean getting drunk either, I mean it can take you down quicker.

I meet a lot of young women in AA but most guys seem to be middle age.

There are young guys around sure but it's disproportionate.

All the best with your sobriety journey
