Hi! You have found a great place to start. This place changed my life. I was a 3 bottle of wime a day drinker it controlled my life. Not today. I found this and have been so supported and understood here. I too was struggling in relationship especially with my husband and kids. I feel like a new person. PLEASE order the book and read it if you have not already. Read as much as you can here on this site. There is so much great info and inspiring stories. You will find others here who understand including me. Be proud of yourself for posting, that was hard for me to do. You have started a path and you have to start somewhere. Please let me know how I can help and welcome. It will get better. WELCOME:h buckle

Hello Indragautam and welcome. You have come to a wonderful place where you can get help with your drinking. Just come here often and read lots of posts. You will find many kind people to talk to. One day at a time is what I'm trying to do now. It's hard to just say that you won't drink anymore. That's too far into the future. We just have today; that's all.
I wish you strength to get through the day.

Hi Ind,

I am glad you found us! Depression is a direct result of drinking to excess......we all know that, I've certainly been there. In fact, I have wondered if the enormous rise in prescription drugs for depression is not a result of alcohosim?

Anyway, help is here, tons of support a place to speak honestly and get honest response.

I am with Buckledown, 100%......Get the Book! Today, take a walk in the sunshine!

Good Luck!
Kate

Dear In: I come to MWO every day, even after 2 awful slips I just had. This is the only place I'm completely honest. I fill out DrinkTracker every day & take my sobriety one day at a time. Also, there is a wonderful Newbie in Need ODAT (one day at a time) Thread you could check out. We're all trying very hard to get sober. Mary

Hi Ind & :welcome:

If you really have the desire to stop then with this place YOU CAN!!!

I used to self medicate with alcohol to 'help' the depression however after several years I actually realised that the 'depression' was in fact a daily hangover caused by the booze that I was drinking to cure it ...

Vicious circle .........

Be strong you can do this ....

Love & Hugs, BB xx :h :l :h

Indra...big welcome and you are very brave!

a trip to the doc might be less painful and embarassing than you may fear. My doc happily fixed me up with both Campral (for cravings) and an anti depressant too. It was so casual I might as well have been buying a loaf of bread.
all the very best to you
