Hi new pals
bigscotsman, May I call you Big?
:welcome: and glad you are here!!
A week off is a good place to be. In about five more days, you are going to feel uncommonly good. It is amazing.
I am in the USA but I am of Scots heritage. Does that count?
My hubby is also of Scots heritage but he doesn't drink. He never liked the feeling.
He is a lowlander and I am a highlander in terms of genetics. Do you think that makes a difference?
Just kidding all around.
There are many Scotsmen here, many Irish, many from the US of A, many from "down under" and many from all over the world.
We all have the common goal, which is get out from under this bondage.
A week is a great place to start.
I look forward to getting to know you. You will enjoy this site, I am sure.

Hi new pals
Thank you, i've been battling the bottle for about ten years to be honest, my dad was an alcoholic and a nutcase when drunk, I swore i'd never drink ......you all know the rest
i've stopped a few times then end up trashed and talking crap onine and get banned from everywhere, I want to make a go of it now, I'm tired of the sadness and disappointment in my chldren's eyes when they see me waking up like a zombie surrounded by bottles

Hi new pals

And embarrassment, and worry. That's a huge motivator for me, Big. You're going to relate to a LOT of what you read on the "what I hate about drinking" thread.AF since July 15, 2010. :applouse:

Hi new pals
Pride was exactly spot on, Big. Identifying with people. It's a HUGE thing!
As I tell every new person, go to Long Time AF, and read the Tool Box. Then go to Tell Us Your Story, and read TLRGS story, both posts. Maybe do the last one first. You will see what CAN be done. He is one of my best friends, here and in life, and I'm proud to say that.
Don't quit coming here, no matter what, unless, as you said, you get blotto and disruptive. Then, go to bed and try again the next day. You only have to get up one more time than you fall.sigpic
