    Introduction

    :new:

    Greetings all,

    I am new here, and just wanted to take the time to introduce myself.

    Word origin:
    1447, from O.Fr. cessation, from L. cessationem (nom. cessatio) "a delaying, ceasing," from cessare "delay" (see cease).

    I almost chose "Attempting cessation" but that is kind of like "Trying2Quit", which is:
    1) Probably already taken.
    2) I don't want to be forever "trying", I just what to *DO* it.

    Anyway, I am a 33 year old guy who lives in southern California.
    I have been drinking increasingly heavily over the past 10 years, and it is starting to cause me problems, and I see that I need to stop. Seeking information, and maybe I can make a few friends...

      My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

              That dog is sooo cute. My Mom has a miniature schnauzer that looks very much like that.
