Another Newbie

Hi, everyone,
I went to the chat section first, wow, what a friendly, cheerful and positive bunch, totallt not what I was expecting. Thanks.

Today I admitted to myself I drink far too much and to be honest don't enjoy it anymore, but most probably do when I get there, hope that makes sense.
I get bored of daily trips to stock up on drink, getting rid of the bottles, I dread to look in the recycling bin after a week, get bored of doing the same routine when I am drunk although I don't really feel drunk, confusing.

Anyway, first day towards freedom.

Welcome varadero! You hit the nail on the head. We're all just a bunch of quitters that refuse to give up.

Welcome, veradero, to SR; congratulations on Day 2 and your decision to stop drinking.

I agree; alcoholism takes up so much time - exhausting.

Welcome to a great new way of life.

BOOM!

If only I had realized that's what it was when I first decided to quit!

Welcome to your happily ever after.

I hate to even think about all of the time and money I've wasted on booze. Not to mention the wear and tear on my innards.
