Need a buddy!

[sockit2me]

I think I need a buddy who is going through the same thing as I to check in with weekly. Obviously we can still chat on the message boards but someone who is kind of in my situation. I would hope to never meet this person though, we would probably only end up going to the bar! Here is my situation, private message me if you want to e-mail or talk once a week.

I'm an alcoholic (ok, should cover a lot of us)
I am a 30 yr old female
I have been drinking heaviliy since teens
I smoke socially
I want to lose weight
I am ready to make a change in my life, and not have to rely on alcohol

I don't know who I am without alcohol....

Hey sockit,

Looking at your list you have at least 100 buddies right here.

Just keep posting

Hi Sockit2me,
I can certainly relate to your situation only I am a few years older than you, so been drinking longer! I had weight to lose, but conquered that a couple of years ago when I took the plunge and joined a slimming club, this has given me the boost to think I can conquer the drinking problem, however, not going quite so smoothly.......... smoking, I quit when I had the kids, but still sneak the odd one; hubby would be furious if he knew! I too want to make the change in my life and live without the burden of relying on booze. I need a buddy too! Keep in touch.

Hey Sockittome!

I sent you a private message. Hope to hear from you. I've been active on this site for two days (after reading on and off) and it's really cool. I like the true anonymity of it. Stay strong and we can try to get through together, all of us!

Know what you mean about meeting the person. I'm a bar fly through and through. Have successfully been banned from the two closest to me. Thought it would be a good thing but as we all know; if you wanna drink you're gonna make a plan!

Good luck and hope to chat soon.

Hi sockitome. Well, like purple said I think you will find MANY buddies around here with lots in common. I just wish I was your age instead of my age. I'd LOVE to do some of those years over LOL!

I feel like the booze has been a real ball and chain in my life for SO long. I want my life back. (and I want to lose weight too!) Are you following part / all / none of the MWO plan or some other plan? I just started the supplements and CD portion of the MWO plan today. I am hoping for my first AF day in a long time. I apologize in advance for everyone here who I am sure to drive crazy today with all my postings - and lots of it already quite repetitive.

Anyway, best wishes to you and I hope that several months from now we are all well on our way to a better place in life.

Hi! I would love to have abuddy through all of this! I'd PM you, but I can't figure out how to actually create a new message (talk about alcohol killing brain cells). I have to leave for work now (where I can't access MWO) but I will catch up later! (I swear I'm not this flippant or ditzy normally, today just seems to be special!)

Hi niki and welcome. I'm just getting started on this journey too. I second Purple's suggestion - you will get a hearty welcome if you start a thread to introduce yourself. I look forward to sharing this journey of healing with you.
