Hi there,

I've been lurking for a few weeks and have finally plucked up the courage to say hello.

From reading all your posts I think you will understand me. I've tried AA, and even though it seemed great at first I soon began to realise that I was kinda getting sucked in to their way of thinking.

I don't want to dis AA. I just felt personally that it was not for me. The religious dogma kind of got to me a bit. Don't get me wrong, I believe in God, but I feel I have to gain ownership of my problem and not just give it up to a "higher power".

I look forward to getting to know you all. This seems like a really cool, non-judgemental place to be. I'll tell more of my story soon.

Thanks for listening,

What: MWO (particularly the newbie forum) has helped me get control of my drinking. I've been alcohol free for 29 days & had been drinking for a very long time. Keep coming. Mary
