    I'm new to the site and looking for support

    You might say I found this site by accident. I have had a drinking problem for several years. I have tryed to moderate, quit, change what I drink, change who I drink with, but it all falls back to the same place. I need to STOP! My entire life is affected by alchohol.
    If I could only count the number of times that I woke up feeling like crap, feeling guilty, wondering how many people I offended the night before, feeling lonely. I need a fresh start. I've had enough! After reading several of the posts here, it seems that there are a lot of amazing people. I'm asking for your help!:new:

        Welcome, Andrew! Check out the "Tool Box" thread in the "Goals" > "Monthly Abstinence" section of the forums! Some good material there for building a strong plan....

          Welcome Adnrew, for the first time, I feel I can be open and not be judged.

                Welcome Andrew and congratulations on taking steps towards a new way of life! This is a wonderful forum with lots of help and "virtual hugs"! Just for fun, and aside from all of the health implications and splitting headaches, I just got plum tired of getting up in the morning and checking my phone to see who I called and trying to remember our conversation :-)

                Read the book - you'll love it!

                  Hi Andrew!

                  I agree, the feeling like crap, feeling lonely and everything else that goes with AL is a waste of a life. This forum has helped me in more ways then I can put into words.

                  We're here for you. :l
