Help!

I will likely not live long if I don't stop this already. But it is so hard! I don't want to go to meetings, so I am hoping this online site will do it for me. But I am not sure how it works?

Welcome! You can use the site to post if you feel like drinking so we can talk you out of it. Lots of good forums here to explore.

Works like this: you read, you post, you take this serious cause it's not a social media site.

If you want to quit drinking, you have to quit drinking. We are all here trying to do the same.

keep in mind ...

its the 1st drink that gets us drunk not the 20th

we cant get drunk without that 1st drink

our choice is between miserable unhappy drunken drinking and all the consequences

or

not taking 1 drink

God bless
