[Cayenne]

Just found the site today. Did a search for alcohol cessation and this is one that came up. I see myself in so many of the entries. Vicious cycles. This has been the story of my life for the last 30 years. Don't know who I really am without alcohol, because I was just a kid when I started drinking. I have often thought that I partly inherited my ablility to drink a lot. My father was (a highly functioning) alcoholic, as were both of my grandfathers. Anyway, I'm glad I found this site. Haven't made any promises to myself about not drinking though.

Welcome Cayanne -- glad you found this site. I too have been drinking for years and have never convinced myself that i am an alcoholic even though I have been in and out of AA and therapy for years. Well, I am an alcoholic, by any standard of the definition. It is seeing my own repetitive behavior described by others on this site that make me realize I am in real danger from drinking. Here, people are warm and willing to describe their own behavior.

This site may be the saving of my life. I am only on day 3 sober and have so long to go. But this has been a wonderful help by wonderful folks. Hope it helps you too. Welcome!!

[Thankful]

Cayanne ~ welcome!

I happy for you. This is an amazing site. Read and post. You can make up your mind later as to what sort of goals you would like to set for yourself.

When I came here I only had intentions of cutting back. But cutting back led to sobriety. So you never know what where this journey will take you, but I promise it's worth the trip.

Best of luck to you. We are here when you need us.

Love, Me

Hi Cayenne

Welcome! You will find a warm non-judgemental environment here. I agree with Matt. I read my story over and over again. I stumbled upon this site a few weeks ago. I have struggled for about 10 years (that I'm willing to admit). I have never tried AA. I am very private and I guess have never even had as much courage as Matt to ADMIT it even that much! This site has given me strength. I recommend the book as well. I'm on day 15 AF..... WOW! Today has been rough, don't know why that's why I'm here getting inspiration.
Good luck in your journey.
jane.

hey there glad you found the site. when i did a year ago i was just looking for a way to cut down. and well now i've not had a drink in four months. so didn't ever think that would be possible with the kind of freedom i have in my life as i was a bottle or more of wine a day drinker. so keep posting and great to post.

Welcome Cayenne! :welcome:

I'd had it a few months ago with myself. One more black out night to chalk up. What a legacy.

This site is wonderful, supportive, non-judgmental and fun! I strongly sugges reading
the My Way Out book. I downloaded it and read it in no time at all. I can't tell you what
a difference that book and this site has made in my life.

Glad you're here. :l
