Brand new here - ready to take my life back!
I am 35 years old and have been a heavy drinker since the age of 12. I last drank on Thursday the 21st. I decided to drop the habit because it has not only poisoned my body, but it has poisoned my relationships, my fitness, my career and every other aspect of my being.
It is not too late for me or any of you. I am glad to have found a place to share my thoughts and feelings as I embark on this journey of sobriety.

Thanks Ashley
I read around a good bit yesterday at different sites and started to feel inspired. I then downloaded a book called Dry Augusten Burroughs, it's a good read thus far. I then decided to find a community and that led me here.
If you don't mind my asking what's your story and how are you coping?

Glad to meet you, TheRest! You're in good company here.
I was much older when I finally took my life back. I'm glad you're taking action now - you'll be avoiding so much heartache & misery. Welcome!

Welcome and congrats on making the necessary steps! Recognizing the impact your drinking has had isn't as easy as it should be for us. This community has been pivotal in my sobriety and I check in every morning and evening. 7 days for me, that hasn't been possible for me for years.
Take each day independently and continue on your journey with us.
