MJ. Giving up drinking IS a scary thought if you look too far ahead. When I gave up I started by taking things one day at a time. AA philosophy I know, but it works. If I was to ask you NOW what you thought of a life without drink you would probably have a panic attack!! It's a scary thought innit?. Try not to get too far ahead of yourself and look to get through today without a drink. Tomorrow is another day and you can tackle that day when it comes. Most people who arrive here at the forum are at some point close to their 'rock bottom'. This site has been a god-send for me. To be able to share myself and vent my feelings has meant I have been able to make friends and learn and give back too. Whatever stage you're at with your drinking at present I really wish you all the best with whatever goals you have at present. If you haven't got those goals then maybe start thinking about what you want to achieve with your drinking. I think most here have started with doing a 30 day abstinence before considering their options. I was late coming to the forum so I didn't follow the program with the supplements and Cd's etc. Nothing in this world was going to stop me from binging apart from Antabuse. That's a whole other story though!!
MJ welcome to the forum and best of luck to you my friend.
Love and Happiness

MJ, just take it one day at a time. You?re in the presence of some of the biggest drinkers (former drinkers that is) and some who have it under control and can moderate. Like the others have said, the book is a good place to start. it really helped me.
The very best to you. Stay close and post a lot in the first few days, it will help.

Hello TJ
:welcome: to a huge & loving family - we welcome you with open arms
:new: too
Yor fear is understandable, drinking can take us to very scary places. You're among friends though - we have all been there
Now though, ask us questions, keep it simple - one day, one hour, one minute at a time
Be gentle on yourself but set yourself small targets & aim for them
Glad you're with us, lean on us & stay close
There is a brighter day
