Hi there...
Hi there...
I have been trying to get in control of drinking for years...trying to cut down...just drink at weekends blah blah...I failed. So I've made up my mind that I need to totally stop before my body gives up on me. ...feeling pretty rough, but positive.
Welcome! If you are serious about this, make sobriety the most important thing in your life because it is. Keep reading and posting. Maybe check in every morning on the 24 hour connection thread to remind you that you can't drink. Best wishes for you on your journey!
Life has gotten nothing but better and better and better since I made that same realization.
I hope your journey doesn't take nearly as long or nearly the heartache mine did before I finally, really, truly DECIDED to live sober!
Sobriety has been one of the greatest gifts in my life.
You have come to a wonderful place for support, encouragement and understanding.
Welcome, again.
Happy to have you with us, Great2B. This place got me back on my feet & kept me there.
I tried moderating too - for many years. I was sure willpower was all I needed. I didn't realize that once the first drink went down, all my resolve left me. I don't think I was ever able to keep it to one or two drinks. It was wonderful to finally get free of it. I'm so glad you've made the decision to change your life.
