    Just starting out!

    So Greetings! I'm just starting out and don't have much to tell, I guess I'm relatively lucky because I don't have many alchohol related problems except that I have gained way too much weight, and drink daily and, I want that to end!
    I am looking for a group that maybe understands. I want to get healthier, lose weight, and change my daily routine and what I really need is motivation...if only that came in pill form!
    So, hello all. I look forward to reading your emails and blogs!

    Just starting out!

    Hi Beasley, Motivation does not come in a one pill form, but there are alot of tools here that can help you. I started by getting the starter kit here. You get RJ's book, supplements, hypno cds they along with the support on the threads will kick start your own internal motivation. It has been and continues to be a great journey for me. I am 64 days AF today. I am working out, eating better, happy with myself and feel great. Read RJ's intro, think about getting some of or all of the tools, that is what MWO is about...tools to find Your Own Way out...Good Luck!

        Sorry Beasley, guess we just get used to using these abbrievations! AF means Alcohol Free. Welcome by the way! I'm starting my 30 days AF tomorrow!

          Hi Beasley, it is Alcohol Free.
          Mwo is right, get some tools to help you. I used the book and the supplements which have really helped and reading an posting here which has been a lifesaver for me.
          There is motivation here in bucketloads
          Best wishes

            Good for you! I don't think I ever made it longer than a week but I don't consider myself an alcoholic. I mean, when is one an alcoholic? I can stop when I choose, I don't drink any more than 3 or 4 glasses of wine/day but it's like, come 5 o'clock...I just have my wine.
            It has never stopped me from handling all my responsibilities so I don't think I'd be considered an alcoholic.

              It doesn't really matter what sort of label you put on anyone, just that you want to change things in some way. Why don't you join one of the 30 day AF threads? You are lucky, there are a number of people starting tomorrow. Hop on board and give it a try, see how you feel at the end. I bet it will be great

                That's my plan and thanks so much for the good advice. I've already read many motivating "threads" and I look forward to following the advice I've already been given.
                I also like the idea of NO LABELS.
                It's a habit I have, it is doing me no good so, I want to change.
                Thank you!

                        Hi All
                        I wish I had the information about al years ago that I have now.Yes I was like you in control, working, family etc. Al was not an issue but part of my life more than I realized.There are many things about a person that will make them predisposed to becoming an alcoholic.I had many of them and didn't recognize it. I progressively entered into a lifestyle of drinking.Some ware along the way I lost control and AL took over.You don't seem to be way down the road which is good for you.Read about al educate yourself and look in the mirror and see if you see some of the signs of an alcoholic.The earlier you deal with this, the easier it will be.Non of us woke up one day and were alcholics but here we are fighting for our lives.
                        Stay Healthy and Keep Fighting
