For whatever reason I decided today was the day to reach out for help and support. I just happened upon this site, read some of the discussions and want to give this a try.
I really don't like myself when I drink. I do things I would never do sober. I wake up in the morning and remember what I did and think "great...how are you going to fix this one?"
I can't believe how much I think about drinking during the day in one way or another.
I hope to get support from this site to help me stop.
What methods have helped you stop?:new:

:welcome:Hi igK!!

It is scary to start something new!! I'm not brand new here but I'm pretty new.
I'm trying to stay AF, and my committment it stronger now than ever and it is REALLY
helpful to have this site to turn to whenever you need a shoulder that KNOWS what you are going through.
I've been AF for 11 days with 1 little slip of just 1 glass of wine 3 days ago and what i do know is that the cravings are lessening a bit!!

Just keep posting and reading when ever you feel an urge , it helps

Hi and Welcome
One of the best insights I received from someone on this site is to view the fight ahead of you, as if you are fighting for your life which you are.If you want to stop it has to be the most important thing you do each day NOT TO DRINK
Stay Healthy and keep fighting

Welcome igk ! Check out some of the threads in starting out where a number of new members are banning together to get started together! It is really helpful to have that support from others that are just getting on this path! You can do it! Best to you!

Hi igk! You've taken a big step towards saving yourself by jumping into this site. There are many wonderful, loving and helpful people here to whom there is NOTHING you can say and NOTHING you have done that we don't already know all about! Welcome. xxx g.
