Hi I am hew here!

Good job controlling your drinking at lunch. That was a toughy for me. Of course I had to learn to control my drinking at breakfast first. And second breakfast. And afternoon snack.

The supplements work wonders. Good luck and stay with us!!!!

Hi I am hew here!

Thank you all, I feel so safe here, I don't have to put on a 'face' I can just be me. I want to be me, I have been hiding my drinking for years, my dad I am told drunk a lot(I never got to know him, he and my mum split up) My mum drank from time to time, I am not saying that's why I do it, but I am hoping my kids won't be like me from watching me always with a glass in hand every evening, it may be good for them to see me drink a cuppa tea for a change.

Hi I am hew here!

Welcome Shaba! You are off to a great start. Your going to meet a lot of people on this site who you will relate to and learn from. Many of us have either learned to moderate and/or abstain. There are also others who are "digging deep" giving it their all and are gaining their stride in living a sober life. The people here are amazing. I look forward to getting to know you! - Reenie

Hello.............

Hello................I am new!
I joined this site today - I've read the book & I'm looking at ordering the meds & vitamins etc. but - and this is not an excuse but I'm being realistic - I can't plan a date to start for a few weeks as I am moving house on Monday and have one or two other issues, so what I hope to do is get all the stuff I need, get settled into my new house and then - the countdown. Yikes! I have a good feeling though that I am taking my first steps at least towards changing my life.
I am hoping that I can link up with some others on here when I decide on my date....is anyone else making plans to start in a few weeks? Do let me know as I know having some others to share this with will be valuable.
All the best,

[Reenie]

Hi I am hew here!

Welcome to MWO Shaba and Wayside! Its great to have you here. Some folks need to get all their ducks in a row and all their supplements together before beginning, and that is perfectly okay. As we say here, there are no wrong ways to approach this, it takes some people a while to get used to the idea of not drinking, that there is this scarey time coming or they will miss drinking and not know what to do during the evenings or afternoons or mornings, whenever they drink. I am one of those. Now I string together af days, like Suki I have more af days now than I have had in a long time. Wayside, moving is stressful and probably listed up there with job change or divorce as one of life's most stressful times. Drink won't make it better but we all know that. Stick around and unpack the computer first so you can keep in touch. :h

Hi I am hew here!

I'm new, too! All I want to do is get to a point where I don't want alcohol anymore than I want caffeine or chocolate. Mind you, I did all in excess, but I'm down to almost no sugar or chocolate, only 1 cup of coffee a day (as opposed to 10-15 cups) w/ only a few binges. Alcohol is the last that I must master. I am so supported by those who have been AF for longer than a week! I hold these people in awe.

Hi I am hew here!

Hey Ebrace...

Well done on hte coffee thing, and the sugar...I've found now that I'm AF i HAVE HAVE HAVE to keep away from sugar, its a real strong craving.

Hi I am hew here!

Straight - do you find you have to keep away from ALL sugars? I understand about sweets and such. But what about whole fruits?
