Im glad I found this site as there is nothing like it in Oz.only AA. It sounds good to me,just what I need.private and someone to share a few words with when I need to.My drinking has gotten out of control over the years,its no longer something I do as part of a fun social outing,its something I do habitually almost every day..not one bottle of wine but two..I have black outs.!!.i'm hiding bottles!!! Anyway im really ready to give this a try,so I will start posting and reading and doing whatever I need to get my life on track,before its too late.Poddi.

Welcome Poddi! You have come to the right place. I felt very much like you when I found this place and really didnt know where to turn. Have you read the book yet? Had a look at supplements? The book, the supps, and the support I have here are what has kept me sober for almost 3 months. You can do it too. Good luck and stay close to the boards!

Welcome Poddy!! You are definately on the right track, this is a wonderful place. Even if somedays you just read through the boards and posts, you will undoubtably find something that will make you think and give you the courage for one more day. Plus, when you post, ask questions, and don't be afraid to put yourself out there. These are great people and they will give you the best advice and tools that they have at their disposal. Or as they say "Ask and you shall receive!".

Again welcome, and any questions or concerns are welcomed!!

Hi Poddie,
I'm in Oz too.
I haven't started STOPPING yet.........I'm scared.
BUT, I'm thinking I'll just have one bottle and one glass tonight. I CAN do that. Then it's a cup of milo.
I'm taking serious vitamin B, Chelated zinc and some vitamin c.
How do we take that leap? Please stay in touch.............we'll be good for each other.
Baby steps for now darling:l

Welcome, Poddy!

The only thing bad about this site is... It's ADDICTIVE!

Have to come here Every day for my dose of courage, humor and Friends.

And hopefully (on occasion) offer my "words of wisdom" - you never know how your words may help someone at Just the right moment... (as so many have done for ME)

Now... what I wonder is: I'm going away for long weekend (YAY), but I prob. won't have computer... Will I have Withdrawal symptoms??

(That's a Semi joke!!)
