Hello from Brazil.
 

Hello everyone. I am an American from Washington DC, 50yo, retired in Brazil. Booze is very cheap here, the sugar cane liquor known as cachaça is about US$1 for 500ml. Even though I am a good sized man about 200lbs, that 500ml is too damn much. It is just very frustrating. I have quit drinking several times, sometimes for as long as a few years. I don't get in trouble with the law or anything, but find that this level of drinking is disruptive to my life and goals.

Hi and welcome to SR

Welcome to SR. I am glad you are here with us. :wave:

Glad you're here, welcome.
I learned an acronym early on in my sobriety - I will never forget it, hopefully. YET = you're (we all are) eligible too!!!

What's the plan???

Welcome!

And, if alcohol is causing you problems in life, this is a good place to come for support and understanding.

Welcome to the family. :) I hope the support here can help you get sober for good. :)

Thanks everyone, and good to meet you.

Welcome BemTeVi nice to meet you
