Putting myself out there! Day 1

Day one after a long time away from AA. I failed it, it failed me, whatever, but I'm back to trying. This time I am doing some nutritional options and wanted to find a support group to help me through.
Please wish me luck and hold my hand. I'm doing it this time. I have too much to live for.
My recent alcohol use hasn't actually gone up too much, but my reaction to it has changed significantly. So, it's time.
I've enjoyed seeing all the support this group offers...

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

How are you doing since you posted?

Hang out here a lot, read and post a lot, because it really helps.

Funny.... same thing happened to me. At a certain point, I just started reacting to alcohol differently. More blackouts, worse hangovers, erratic behavior. That's when I first knew I was in trouble.
