Okay, so I've been trying to figure out what this addiction is all about. I'm sure we all have sad stories, I know I do but is that what it is really about? Isn't it really because we just are depressed or just don't have any joy in our life? If we truly had joy, if we were truly happy with our lives and where we were, do you think we would feel a compelling need to drink? I'm really serious. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

Hi maggie and welcome.
Yes, I think we all have things in our lives which caused us to drink, even if some of us are unaware of those causes. We all drank for a reason of sorts..........it became our way of dealing with what is actually, just life.

barbara........welcome to you too........pleased to have you join us.

tawnfrog...I think you're actually very cute!! and Barbara...hey, you have friends if you want them, I need them, too, we all do. Nice to meet you too cookoo...

I know I just joined but I will be gone for a few days....tis the holidays. I'm going to my sons house until Monday for Christmas with his family. Have a good weekend. I'm happy to say my weekend will be AF because he will see to it. LOL (Then when I get home, so much stress will be built up that ya'll know what will happen) My husband who raised him isn't invited, my youngest son and his half brother is home from college and won't go so I have to go alone...It should be a lot of fun, don't you think?

Hi MaggieMoo, Hi Barbarathingy and all others.

I'm usually on here fairly often but toooo much to do atm. NOT helping with the drinking.... However, you have come to the very best place you can find to help.

And a big hi to Teecia too - I think you bring the average age down quite a lot!
