thanks for your support Dexterhead. I felt so good waking up knowing i didn't drink the night before. in fact last night i slept all night without waking up in the middle of the night . only thing is , i wonder if my impatience with the junior high school behavior of my coworkers wasn't a result of the pprocess of trying not to drink that i am undergoing?Comment

Welcome Yesterday! you've landed on a great forum
lots of tools here and loads of advice..just ask.
trying not to overdrink is indeed a stressor and as such many of us decide it's just easier to abstain (AF) but you'll find what works for you and become more relaxed.
again Welcome!nosce te ipsum

Welcome, yesterday!
You did, indeed land on a good forum! Glad you found us. Sounds like you are ready to make a change and this is a very supportive group of people. The best way to get started is to read RJ's book. You can order it from this site or Amazon. The book really give you a wonderful outline of the basis of this place. In addition, you may want to take a look and ask some questions about the supplements. Many find that taking supplements really help to get your system back into balance. This allows you take charge again...
Lastly, ask a lot of questions and post often! We are here to help....
Good luck on your journey. Stay strong, and never give up!

Yesterday! A thousand :welcome: to what I believe is the best site for those who really want to make a big change in thier lives, and it sounds from your post you are more than ready to make that change. I am also somewhat "new" here, been on since the 8th of January, and have been AF ever since. I won't lie, it has NOT been easy; but this site has great people whol have "been there, done that, got the tee-shirt" and are more than willing to provide support, open arms and lots of hugs!
When I finally decided to kick my old buddy AL out in the snow, I was pretty messed up! I would check into this site sometimes every 1/2 hour to get support, read a couple of different posts and see how others have struggled and succeeded in overcoming the beast.
You can do this! Check back here often! Join in the chat rooms, they can be pretty funny and uplifting! Post often..you will be amazed!

Hi Yesterday- Hi Koochee.
Welcome! Reading about the biochemistry involved in alcoholism really helped me when I first stopped drinking- and if you read enough posts here, you'll soon figure out that days 4 - 6 are the hardest- so, Yesterday, don't beat yourself up for slipping on day 6....
You sound like you want sobriety.... and to get your LIFE back. You can do this! We'll be here to support you-
Stay close~ :h
