Brand new here. Hello everyone

[CarrieJ]

Just joined - need help quitting alcohol and resisting the urge to drink - it's gotten so bad I can drink an entire 12 pack nightly

[abcowboy]

:welcome: to MWO Carrie! You sound just like me, a 12 pack nightly, but that was after I'd had a 12 pack during the day already! Read around the threads, post wherever you feel comfortable, everyone here is very helpful and supportive! Read, post, read, then do it some more, and take it easy on yourself, you just need to think about getting through today without drinking!

[CarrieJ]

Thank you abcowboy I have been reading and learning how to get around.

Thank you so much Mario. I need to get my life back and together and get the alcohol out of it. All I want to do anymore or think about is drinking

Take your time , one hour one day at a time. :-)

[CarrieJ]

Yes seems a bit overwhelming right now Thank u for the link. I appreciate it

Welcome, Carrie! This is a supportive and flexible group. The links Mario provided are priceless! You will find people people just like you but ahead in the quit game, so they can get you started. You will have to make your own choices, perhaps from toolbox inspiration, to find what will work for you.

Welcome to the beginning of the path to Alcohol Freedom.

Thank you sunbeam. Everyone has been so nice !! Thank you for the support. I can't wait to get clean. Sober and get my life back to being happy and positive. Instead of sick. Miserable. Negative and hungover all the time

Hi, Carrie and welcome.

I'd encourage you to follow Mario's link and pop into the newbies' nest if you haven't already done that. Maybe share a little of your story and your plan for staying AF today and in the short run (worry about the long run later :wink. You'll very likely get support and ideas about implementing your plan (as well as the pitfalls that we've encountered). We're all so different from one another in many respects - but not in this one. You really can learn from the mistakes of others and not have to make them yourself! We really are stronger as a group. Glad you're here, NS

Welcome to the boards, Carrie. Keep close to the community here. I wish you all the best.

Welcome aboard, I cant imagine a better place to start your journey than in here. There is plenty of people that have been in the exact same place that you are, not matter what that place was. You are not alone.

Wishing you strength and good luck

Hi, Carrie:

Welcome to MWO and your first step toward FREEDOM! You might feel fear right now, but there is nothing to fear. What a relief it was for me to get that albatross off my back.

Hope you join a thread where you'll get more support more often. There are a couple of really active ones.

I remember that feeling so well Carrie. I found that reading and posting Something everyday was a huge help. The support I received was priceless. Stick close.
