Welcome,
Education was my key to freedom.
SR got me the information faster and easier than AA ever would have.
I had long term moderate anxiety that was only quelled w alcohol.
Do you have anxiety?
It took many months for this to disapate for me. It gets better every day.
Alcohol is poison. Don't believe the hype. Get clean, stay clean.

Thank you so much!
I'm overwhelmed with the kind words on here!
I'm having a little moment today ( day 6 ) where I feel almost normal ( whatever normal is! ) and I've got metaphorical ants in my pants!
I gave up smoking ( cigarettes after 25 years ) in December which I'm really proud of, as I still drank to excess but didn't touch a cigarette - a small miracle as I have an addictive personality.
I honestly don't know the meaning of moderation in anything I do.
Today I feel like I need to smoke.
I'm so scared that if I cave in and buy a packet I will say **** it - and buy a bottle of wine!
I'm doing my best to distract myself.
SR is an amazing source of information and support - I'm so glad I found it.
I have chosen not to involve myself in AA - as I'm not really into the whole God thing.
But I might pop into a meeting just to see.
