I'm new here and a little scared

[Montana Mommy]

Hi all. I want to quit drinking and I'm scared to talk to anyone in my community. I have 2 children and a husband and don't want anyone judging me. I'm really glad I have some where to come when I get the strong urges. I really don't think anyone understands what it's like to want to quit and not being able to. I think I keep going back to drinking because I have no one to tell how bad I want to drink on the second day I quit. I usually drink at night at home. But I drink a lot of beer. I always feel so guilty the next morning even though I haven't done anything wrong. I was sober for 5 years, then lost a daughter a year and a half ago and started drinking again. I'm ready to stop completely. I'm tired of feeling guilty for not being the best I can be. Thanks for listening. Today is day 1 AF!!!!!

Hi Montana

My Way Out is a great program for those of us that don't want to "expose" ourselves in our communities. I always recommend reading the book. There is so much to learn!!
I was also a big beer drinker. Was probably drinking a 12 pack more or less almost every night--didn't get too stupid until I went to the bar. Anyway, that was 6 months ago. I have come a long way, but not there yet. It's been kinda fun though.
I always thought if I lost a child, I would stay drunk and under the covers for the rest of my life. Glad you didn't do that. :l

I am so sorry for the loss of your child. That to me is my biggest fear. My heart, thoughts and prayers goes out to you.

Please join us in the AF Army. We are on day 9, but jump right in and tow in line with the rest of us.

Best wishes and hope to hear from you soon.
