I am finally, finally ready
Hello everyone. I originally found this website back in 2010, when I knew I had a drinking problem, but it was one I thought I could eventually control. WELL, it's nearly 8 years later and alcohol has been my unfaltering companion since. I know now that I am addicted to alcohol. I have tried several times to stop, and hundreds of times to moderate, but here I am. FINALLY READY. FINALLY DONE.
Today is Day 2, and I am headed out to Yoga with my very best friend. When I get home I will log back in here to read, chat, and keep busy doing all of Sunday's chores. You all will replace the afternoon beers that usually accompany me.
More to come from me, just wanted to say hello and state my intentions.
Thank you,
Goldynkat

Welcome back! Took me a few years after I joined to accept that drinking just isn't working for me anymore in any amount. "1-2 drinks...what's the point?"..complete outta control drinking...what's the point?" I'm better off just having none.

Welcome back! I discovered this site way back in Jan 2011. Was sober ten days or so then away again until March 2016. Been sober since. It’s never too late to quit. I hope to hear from you again!

Welcome back Goldynkat. I joined in 2014 and have had a couple of false stops myself. Like many, I tried unsuccessfully to moderate. Staying close to SR is helping me stay on the sober path. I'm sure it will help you as well.

Great to have you with us, Goldy. We have to be ready - sounds like you finally are. It took me many years to realize I had no control - the only way to stay safe & sane was to stop all together. It helps so much to be here, with those who understand. You're going to do this!

Thanks for all the support guys! I'm having a productive Sunday, now thinking about what to do for dinner. And what to binge watch on Netflix! Does anyone recommend a good sobriety movie/documentary/tv show?
