    Well - I finally did it...

    hi, I'm new to the community..., but today i finally did the one thing i didnt think i had the strength to do, i went to my doctor & confessed to a serious problem with AL, i want so desperatly to be completley AF, at the moment i am still having a glass of wine when i get home, to wean my body off it, but that is a lot better than the 1-2 bottles of wine a night i was drinking. I have been lurking around the site for a few days & reading peoples struggles & successes helped me find the courage to go to my doc. so THANK YOU!!!
    so many of the stories could have been mine, I dont feel so alone now as most of my friends/family are heavy drinkers, which is funny cause I dont have a problem with other people drinking just my drinking,

    Welcome, witchy and good for you for being honest with the doc. Being honest with ourselves is crucial if we are to become and remain sober.

    Your drinking pattern was much the same as mine, but it`s hard to believe that I ever lived like that now. MWO is a lifesaver.........saved mine.......can save yours too. Attitude is everything.

    I wish you love and strength.

      Well done witchy woman for getting to the doctors. I hope she/he will help you in your endeavour to be free. No you are not alone. ALL MY FRIENDS GET DRUNK AS DO MY FAMILY AND I FIND IT HARD BASED ON THAT. Coming here has helped me so much. I hope you get the same and stick with it. Cos being drunk is an affliction when it becomes a daily activity. :goodjob:

        Well done witchy woman,

        Great that you went to the doc, what courage. I have done that yet, too scared, cold turkey for me. Going home for Xmas will be tough though, all my firends and family like to drink and Im always the good time girl, the one you can count on next to a bottle. Thanfully we are close, so I should be able to tell them the truth. I dont want to lose my friends, so I have to suck it up and hope that eventually I can be with them at ease, and sober. A lot to ask for I know.

            Witchywoman,

            Kudos on taking such a big first step. It took me MONTHs to talk to my doctor about my drinking.

            I finally had no choice, though, and am grateful she is in my court.

            Love,

                  Hi Witchy and welcome to MWO. Seems as if you are on the right road, the first step is admitting to yourself that you have a problem with alcohol, the second step is to do something about it, and the next step is to carry on, each day with one more step. The further you go on this journey then the more reluctant you will be to go back to the beginning. I wish you luck.

                        thank you so much everyone, the support in this community is unbeleivable, no one juges every knows how it feels. I am going out for tea tonight (said I would be designated driver so no grief about not drinking) i am still debating weather to tell my two closest freinds, dont know if I want to put that kind of pressure on myself yet. My doctor is really good 7 supportive, i'm lucky. hope every has had a sucessfull day.

                          Welcome WW
                          It is so important to have your doc on board. Mine is totally supportive, and open to MWO. Do join us in the Newbies Nest. It is a very supportive place.
