Looking for support
As a brief history, I started drinking when I was 16 and I am now 61 years old. However there were times during that period when I never or hardly drank at all. But within the last 12 years I have become a weekend drunk and I really want to get out of this cycle. And that is why I need this forum which is 24/7 I believe?

Hello and welcome.
Yes, these forums can be a great place for support.
I started drinking when I was fourteen, and drank alcoholically from the start.
Unlike you, I drank at every possible chance. I did that for over thirty years.
It's great that you realize you may have a problem now.
I eventually morphed into an every day drinker and did that four ten years.
Feel free to post away. And it's great to have you here.

Hey welcome! I was a 'one day in a weekend' drinker too (and one day during the week). Feel free to join the week end threads where I have received tremendous support, since Friday is like for me a hard day to avoid AV.

I just need to let out some frustration, which as we all know, if left unchecked can cause problems. So here goes. I have my son and granddaughter who is nine years old and they have been here since before Xmas. I took them in as any good parent would do as they had nowhere to go all of a sudden. (Long story). Anyhow my son wanted to get a cat for his daughter which I reluctantly agreed to. Of course this female cat got pregnant and now there are four kittens around. My house is small so as you can imagine...im getting antsy because I'm used to being alone. Love my family but it's time for them to find their own place but I don't want to seem like I'm kicking them out. However, I am ready to burst. What can I do and how can I handle this in a nice way?
